Want to race criteriums but don't know where to start? Come along to one of our free sills sessions and learn the basics so you are confident in your first race! Our qualified coaches will run you through some fundamental skills for both cornering and bunch riding, before finishing the evening with some pretend races. 

These sessions are designed for riders 14 +. If there is extra interest we'll make sure to add extra coaches with smaller groups so you can get the most out of the sessions. 

These sessions are free, and you don't need to be a member. This is not suited to beginner riders, but so long as you can confidently ride on your own we think you will be ready to get stuck in!

Victoria Park is a traffic free environment, but is regularly used by members of the public who don't always pay full attention to what's going on so all riders are advised to ride with care, and watch out for errant dogs, balls and pedestrians. We do hire the venue for these sessions, but don't have the volunteers available to help keep the track clear!
