The Circuit is now booked for our Youth D and E Coaching session.
14.30-16.00 on THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST.
Cost will be £5 per rider.
We'll get it onto the British Cycling Events page as soon as we can, but get the date in your diaries!

Youth D & E riders (born 2016 or later) would you be interested in a one off coaching session at the Circuit in the Summer holidays? It would be particularly aimed at those who have been new to racing this year or who fancy giving it a go next year but more experienced racers would be welcome too. We have had a lovely bunch of young riders in this age group this year, many of whom are new to the Circuit and we'd like to support them a bit more. It wouldn't be anything super serious, just a bit of work on some things like position on the bike, use of gears and cornering, and some fun games. We can't make any promises at this stage - it would depend on the level of interest and being able to find a suitable date - but if you'd be interested reply to this post or email us on [email protected] and if there are enough of you we will try to set something up for an afternoon in August.

Special guests next week! Come and join in the racing and share some refreshments later.

Next week we have Youth racing followed by a Cat2/3/4 race. We are excited to welcome a group of Youth riders from Cycling Munster in the Republic of Ireland it would be good to have a decent turn out. Since we have guests, we'll also have refreshments! Please share in your clubs.and with any Youth riders you know>

Reminder that our Round of the North West Youth League is on Saturday 13th June. This is a regional event so there will be bigger fields and more competition than in our Thurs races. But don't let that put local riders off- the emphasis is still very much on doing YOUR best and having fun, especially for the little kids. Booking link in the comments - come and try!
