Join us for complete beginner and developer-friendly Cyclocross coaching, by and for women. 

These sessions are a block, that covers all the basic Cyclocross skills that you need to take part in a race. However, you can come to 1, 2 or all 3 sessions and our coaches will meet you where you are. Each session will see you explore a range of Cyclocross and general bike-handling skills – from riding varied terrain and cornering to dismounting and carrying or running with your bike – in a fun, supportive environment. No previous off road experience required.

This series of sessions is held ahead of the Summer races at HHV and there will be light encouragement to get you and your new skills involved…If you are an experienced cyclocross rider consider our Thursday evening Adult Cyclocross Race Training sessions.

Session notes:

  • Cyclocross or gravel bikes are encouraged but MTB's are also great. If you don't have an off-road bike you can hire one from us for £5 – just add it to your session booking. 
  • This is a mixed ability session, but aimed at cyclocross novices or beginners: previous off road experience is not necessary.
  • The session lasts 1.5 hours: bring water and a snack
  • Helmets are essential and we recommend active-specific clothing 
  • Gloves recommended and please consider relevant  layers (including waterproofs) as this session will still run in bad weather!
  • The sessions will take place on the off-road trails at the back of the main track. Meet by the Off-Road meeting point sign, just beyond the pavilion building, on the grass.
  • PLEASE NOTE: In Autumn months, please bring good bike lights, as the evening will begin to draw in a little earlier for these sessions and they may finish in the twilight.
