Our next Go Ride session is at Hodgemoor, near Amersham. This is a two hour skills coaching session for ages 6+ led by qualified British Cycling Coaches and split into ability groups.  We usually aim to work on 1-2 specific skills in each session and often end the session with fun games or a team relay race. 

Please meet at 9.45 am to register and be ready to ride for 10 am. The session will finish at 12 noon. Please make sure you bring a drink and snack, helmet and gloves. Can you also please take a few minutes before coming to check the rider’s helmet fits properly and the bike is in good working order. Riders should be using a mountain bike fitted with gears and treaded tyres. Ideally bikes should have flat (not SPD-type) pedals, and given the flinty nature of the wood, knee pads are a good idea too.  Please make sure there is no loose clothing or shoe laces that could be caught on the bike.
