WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You will be required to bring a roadworthy bike, a helmet that fits you correctly and one that is free from cracks, and your own water bottle.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Please bring weather appropriate clothing to the session. We encourage gloves/warm jackets that can be zipped up for cold weather and waterproof clothing in case it rains. For sunny days please bring sun protection e.g., sunscreen and light layers as well as plenty of water.
We highly suggest you don’t wear loose items such as a skirt, baggy trousers, and unzipped jackets as these are not suitable for cycling.
IS THE PROGRAMME WEATHER DEPENDANT?
Please note due to the nature of these sessions they will be weather dependant. Should the wind/rain be dangerously strong on the day causing a hazard, coaches will decide whether the session is safe to go ahead. If the coaches judge the weather to be unsafe to ride in, you will be informed a minimum of 2 hours before the session start time.
