RIBBLE VALLEY JUNIORS
SUMMER COACHING SESSIONS
Tuesdays, 6 May to 2 Sept 2014
@6:00pm, 1 and 2 hour sessions.
The ever popular Tuesday evening Cycling Coaching Sessions for youth riders return for 2014, run by willing volunteers from the Ribble Valley Juniors Cycling Club and supported by Cycling Development North West.
The sessions will follow a similar format to previous years with the aim to develop riders’ cycle racing skills, from novices to those wishing to compete at a high level.
The sessions will focus on the key skills needed to be able to participate safely, competently and successfully in road racing events.

Session Format
A change this year, aimed at improving the focus of the coaching and to cater for a range of abilities, riders will be strictly allocated to one of three groups. Movement between groups will be by coach agreement only.
- Novice group. 1 hour session + Time Trial, 6-7 pm. £2.00.
Aimed at those new to cycling, young riders and / or those without a road bike. - Intermediate group. 1 hour session + Time Trial, 6-7 pm. £2.00.
Aimed at riders with road bikes, with basic skills and fitness, but not yet ready for the advanced group. - Advanced group. Time Trial + 1 hour session, 7-8pm. £2.00. For riders who already compete regularly or are about to. Riders must meet all of the following criteria to join this group:
- Complete a sub 3:00 Time Trial
- Assessed by a coach as competent and safe when riding in a bunch
- Be able to ride with (and own) clipless pedals – e.g. SPD, Look, Time, etc.
You can check your Time Trial time from last year HERE
Notes:
- To be able to take part all riders must wear a suitable, cycling specific helmet and have a bike in safe working order.
- Riders in the Advanced group are welcome to join the intermediate session for an additional £1.50, for an extended workout and to pass on their skills and experience.
- Take part in 12 sessions and get the rest of the season for free.
- In the unlikely event that numbers exceed capacity, priority for places at the session will be allocated on the following order of priority:
- Riders from a British Cycling ‘GO-RIDE’ club from the North West cluster*.
- Riders with a current B.C. Racing Licence.
- Riders with a current B.C. membership.
- Others
(*Blackpool Youth Cycling Association, Bolton Hot Wheels, Cycle Sport Pendle, Red Rose Olympic, Ribble Valley Juniors)
Please use the 2014 Registration Form linked from this page. It would be of great help if as many people as possible could pre-register to save time and congestion on the first of the sessions. Please note that although I can accept these returned by e-mail, they must have a parent / guardian signature on them, so it would have to be a scanned in copy.
If you cannot return a scanned copy, my next preference is for you to hand your forms in at one of the following pre-registration sessions where those of you who were unable to attend the last session of last year can collect your time-trial medals at the same time. These sessions will be held as follows:
- Sat 26th April, Preston Sports Arena, 10:30 to 11:30.
- Sat 26th April, Walton le Dale CP School 12:00 to 12:45
- Thur 1st May, Preston Sports Arena, 19:00 to 20:00
- Sat 3rd May, Walton le Dale CP School 11:30 to 12:15
At the Sports Arena (PR2 1SG) we will be in the Meeting Room above the main reception.
Walton le Dale CP School (Severn Drive, PR5 4TD) is located south of Preston near J29 of the M6 so is closer for those living south of the region.
We hope to see as many of you as possible during the coming season.
