Roller Sessions
Hi all,
This winter's Monday roller training starts on the 3rd October. This is at the United Reform Church Hall in Ashwell. Rollers are an ideal tool for developing your pedaling technique and other balancing skills. Rollers are a key skill for those looking to go on to track riding/racing at Welwyn or Stratford.
We definitely have the hall booked for the 3rd and 10th October. After that we might have to fight for it with the Girl Guides whilst the school hall is being repaired! I'll keep you all updated.
Arrive to set up at 6:30pm, finish by 8:30pm.
£3 per person
Freewheel bikes (with gears) with a calibrated computer preferred but not essential. Track bikes are acceptable too.
Don't forget a towel and drinks
There is a kitchen for you/parents to make teas and coffees
We have a couple of sets of rollers that those without can borrow. The session includes a warm up, a skills session and then we usually have a fun race (the Cyclo-Cross race is a big favourite) or an interval session. If you haven't ridden rollers before then we will help get you started.
Sign up below if interested. (Let us know if you need to borrow rollers)
Best wishes,
Mark.

I have booked a Phyiso (Lecturer at Herts University) to run a stretching for cyclists lesson at the end of the roller session next week.
Rollers will start at 6:40pm and finish at 8pm. Stretching session from 8-8:30pm.
You might want to bring a mat and a foam roller if you have one.

We will be discussing Goal Setting after next Monday's roller session. 8 - 8:30pm. Rollers will start at 6:40pm. This is aimed at those aged 12+ but anyone younger is welcome to attend.
Setting realistic goals is a useful tool to help keep you motivated and on track to develop your cycling career.
Bring paper and a pen.
