Overview:

This session is aimed at 8-16 year olds who have advanced beyond the youth track skills sessions at the track and are looking to improve their skills, increase their fitness and start or continue to compete in races.

Please speak to a coach about moving up to the Intermediate sessions before booking. We don't require an accreditation to do so for youth riders, but it is important that participants have the correct level of technique, confidence and observation skills before attending these sessions.

Important: This session is not appropriate for riders new to track cycling. If you have never ridden the track before you should book a Youth Track Taster session first, then attend some Youth Track Skills sessions before coming along to the intermediate session.

Session Details:

• Age Group: This session is open to people 8-16 years old. Parents must stay on site if their child is under 12.

• Session Duration: 1 hour

• Bike and helmet hire: Bikes and helmets are included in the session cost, although you’re welcome to bring your own. 

• Experience level: Riders should have plenty of track cycling experience before attending this session.

Important to know:

• Lycra is not required, although we recommend that you don't wear anything too baggy - layers are recommended, as well as a warm jacket for after. Shoulders must be covered.

• Remember to bring water and a snack.

• Check the weather! We run sessions throughout the winter, so please dress warmly and have waterproofs on hand. In the rare instance that we need to cancel due to snow/ice/high wind, we will endeavour to inform participants via email / social media at least 2hrs before the session, though this is not always possible.

• Gloves: Required

• Helmets: Required

• Hire bikes are available and included in the cost. Trainers are fine to use with these. If you are an experienced cyclist and use a cleat-based foot retention system, you can use this on our bikes, but you will need to bring your own pedals and tools to swap pedals over.

• Please arrive 15 minutes before the session start time to get a bike and get comfortable to ensure that the session can start promptly. If you remember which bike you used in the taster, you’re welcome to head to the containers and collect it yourself - this speeds everything up!

Location:

Meeting Point: Please wait outside the track fence by the seating: your coach will invite you to cross the track when they are ready.
