South Downs College - British Cycling Club Cluster of Training: Technical Circuit & Road Coaching U18s
Technical Circuit & Road Coaching for U18s at the South Downs College
As part of the 'Club Cluster of Training' delivered at The Mountbatten Centre Cycle Track, the South Downs College venue is utilised to deliver Weekly Saturday Club Cluster of Training: Technical Circuit & Road racing scenarios.
The sessions are included in the Progressive Pathway used in the Evening Club Clusters at The Mountbatten Centre Cycle Track and designed to improve riders' technical experience, enhance skills and boost rider confidence utilising the varied circuits that can be designed at the South Downs College venue.
The Mountbatten Centre Cycle Track has two banked corners and gentle bends creating a perimeter fenced oval circuit without tighter right or left hand corners associated with: larger 'traffic-free' circuits e.g. airfields & purpose built cycle racing circuits; Park & Ride racing venues (such as Winchester); Criteriums (City centre circuits often referred as Crits) & General Road race courses.
We have the ability at the South Downs College venue to create appropriate circuits and deliver coaching to meet more technical needs (tight corners, chicanes, group riding etiquette etc. etc.).
The two-weekly sessions are designed to deliver rider progression from fortnight to fortnight, however with Fareham Wheelers' coaches also delivering complimentary sessions on alternate weeks, riders can benefit from Weekly Structured Sessions, so don't miss out.
