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.

Every Saturday 0900-1130 Come rain, Come shine Open to Youth and Junior riders (U18) please contact trigwill@gmail.com
prior to attending so numbers can be managed. There are maximum riders per coach and knowledge of numbers attending will ensure we can provide time for all to ride. There will be a maximum group of 20 riders per coach at any one time (30 riders when covered by 2 coaches - with one a British Cycling Level 3) however there are more than one circuit available to use - so there is potential to cater for additional riders.

Youths & Juniors from all clubs and riders progressing from the  Mountbatten Cycle Track Club Clusters of Training are recommended to attend, improving group skills, racing techniques and confidence.

There will be group riding and skills session to equip young riders with both handling and racing techniques. A bike, clothing & helmet check will be carried out prior to the session and 'signing-on' for the list of attendees. The cost for 2 hours coaching is £3 per rider.
