Weekly cyclo-cross training

Wednesdays, 7:00 - 8:00pm
Northey Avenue, 8th September only
Sutton Arena Leisure Centre, Middleton Road, Sutton, SM5 1SL, from 15th September
Fee payable to Arena: Under 16s: £2.40; Over 16s: £3.75 (Fees lower for Arena members)
Lead coach: Gavin Cook
New riders contact on Gavin on 07770 897865 before attending.

From Wednesday, 10th November 2010, training will be in the form of simulated races.

This will enable the coaches to assess "missing" aspects of a rider's performance, and also build on the rider's fitness.

Under 14 and Under 16's will ride a separate course of greater length, orbiting the Under 10's and 12's. Laps will be timed and a lap bell will be introduced. Race conditions will be rigid in the sense that riders will train for the race duration for their age category, with no stopping unless they are injured or have a mechanical. If a rider stops for a rest or chat then they will sit out the remaining race duration of their category. (At present riders stop for various reasons. This does not help their fitness and endurance, and the coaches cannot assess performance.) Interval training will also be introduced.

To achieve a smooth running of these sessions, the help of adult volunteers will be much appreciated.
