The programme includes:Power Pack and Starter Pack sessions – Nov 5th and 19th
Two sessions for starters and novice races are being organised by the Surrey League at Brockham, near Dorking in Surrey on Sunday 5th and 19th November 2006. These coaching sessions will be lead by John Leitch and aim to give riders the confidence and knowledge to get you to the start line of your first race and see you over the finish line too.
The sessions start at 12.00 and run until 3.00pm and cost £4 per rider.
The sessions are designed for men and women riders but don’t be intimidated by that, John will make you at home and have you riding along in a pack in no time at all.
Using a smallish circuit means we are never too far from base, and there are stops to regroup, recover and evaluate progress.
John Leitch says
Surrey League thrives on having a steady flow of new riders. We want you all to feel welcome and to have somewhere to turn for answers. There is something of a strange contradiction in cycle racing in that while everyone is trying their level best (during the race itself) to beat the rest, the sport contains many people who are more than happy to share experiences and offer useful advice.
A coach can help at this early stage by listening to/giving a steer on your proposed winter training schedule while (later on) lending an ear to your plans for the next racing season. This is an open house. So feel free to come along. There are no boundary lines, no need to switch clubs. Just a pooling of new riders still slightly nervous…. but also excited at what their body might be capable of when prepared properly and then put under racing stress… and those who want to move up the ranks next summer.
“Remember, most of us race for the joy of competition, for a feeling of satisfaction and fulfilment.” ….that’s not a quote from me but from a psychologist.
However, it’s where I’m coming from, so if you buy into that concept too, we should get along fine.
