edited November 2009 in Youth
Still waiting for the questionaires from half the youth section......HOWEVER.....I have enough to rough out a programme.

Watch this space....

THIS SATURDAY 14th...I will be doing a youth ride from Ashwell at 9.30am weather permitting, (if raining it will NOT happen) start my yard..37 silver street. any parents who wish to ride along welcome. I would ask that ONLY riders with previous road experience and British Cycling membership (for insurance purposes) turn up. Inexperienced riders will START with the Stevenage cycle routes. i hope to announce those soon.

Next Sat. 21st I will be in Manchester so NO youth ride.

    FIRSTLY.....WE MUST BEGIN.
    THEREFORE I PROPOSE TO BEGIN THE STEVENAGE RIDES FOR YOUTH THIS SATURDAY 12TH DEC.

    MEET AT CAR PARK ON NORTH SIDE OF FAIRLANDS VALLEY 9.45AM. Directions.....from A602 turn left up Fairlands Way off Lytton Way roundabout...past Supermarket (in Leisure Centre zone) over roundabout(st.GeorgesWay)..continue up hill to Bedwell..over roundabout and turn off RIGHT JUST AFTER Bedwell Crescent and IMMEDIATELY into car park.

    Please remember bikes..road or mountain...helmets..gloves..warm and drizzle proof clothing..drink and energy bar . If it is raining HARD or ICY we won't do it.

    This will not be a strenuous session...10-11.30 finish (barring punctures.) It is about learning to ride together and the skills of negotiating junctions in as car free environment as possible.

    Cycling parents are welcome to assist.

    Those able to ride road with experience of group riding who are available should also come . They would be very valuable in riding paired with a less experienced clubmember.

    I hope to see as many as possible. I am giving up racing at Hillingdon to get this rolling so hope for active participation.


    SEASONS GREETINGS TO ALL AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS IF I DON'T SEE YOU BEFORE THEN

    happy cycling

    Geoff

    P.S. Iam hoping to announce a club night regular evening soon for ALL club members. Watch this space and the forum.

    Cross fit session Tomorrow 9th Feb. Ashwell School 7-9pm

    Hello to ALL.......tomorrow Rob Sharman from British Cycling's Talent Team will be joining our session to give a short presentation on B.C's programme for integrating with club's like CCAshwell and assisting us to deliver and develop our young riders.
    They have restructured their programmes to make them more approachable and proactive so this would be a good opportunity for all members and parents interested in how this could benefit them and their children.
    He should be talking ONLY for about 15-20 minutes from 8 or 8.15 AFTER our session so do come along or come earlier than normal to collect your children so that you can hear and ask questions of ROB.
    He is coming from Derby so I hope you will endeavour to make his trip worthwhile by coming.

    Please come ready to do cross-fit SHARP start at 7pm.

    Look forward to seeing you then and letting you know what CCA coaches have discussed for our new Go-Ride sessions and track from May.

    Cheers

    Geoff
