Safe and Traffic-Free
Every other Saturday morning we have the use of the smooth tarmac circuit at Great Yarmouth Stadium. This provides a safe traffic free venue to introduce new riders into the sport, provide some basic coaching/skilling and have some fun competing in club events. The circuit is approx 400m in length and can be easily riden by anyone of any ability on any type of bike. Being so short it is amazing how quickly the laps (and time) fly-by!
Mixing it
The sessions are friendly, informative and as energetic as you want to make them. Whether you are preparing for a charity ride, wanting to improve your health and fitness or aiming to make your mark on the sport we have an activity for you. A typical session starts with basic skills (cornering, riding in a group etc) then moves on to 15 minute fitness sessions set to your ability and fitness level and ends with a series of informal club races that you would see our Olympic stars competing in.
Club Ambitions: EasyStart Project
Our vision is to offer 100 local people each year a safe, fun and challenging introduction into our sport . We would provide the safety kit, a quality bike and the coaching for you to try our sport and test your potential over a 12 week period (6 sessions). If your fitness does not show tangible signs of improvement we will refund your club membership ! What have you got to lose ? ? If you find you love the sport and its making you feel healthier we have a range or events and programmes throughout the year to help you achieve your next goal. We also hope to include some tandem sessions for those with disabilities. We have produced a business plan and funding requests for this project and hope to confirm its launch in the spring of 2010.
Membership
To comply with our insurance , health and safety and cover our coaching costs, these sessions are only available to club members. Annual membership starts at £7.50 and with a modest joining fee provides a quality club jersey, discount schemes and insurance etc.
