Introduction to Road Cycling – Free Taster Session

This weekend saw the launch of our ‘Introduction to Road Cycling’ series on the traffic-free cycle circuit at York Sport Village.

Nine budding cyclists, aged 4 to 54, joined our British Cycling Coach, Steph Hiscott, for a free taster session to learn how to ride confidently in a group and communicate with each other on the road.

Feedback from those who took part was overwhelmingly positive:

“I thought it was professionally coached and very well organised. The benefits were obvious to see for all those who attended.”

Vale of York is securing £1,000 of funding to run an ‘Introduction to Road Cycling’ series over six weeks this Spring, culminating in The Great Selby Bike Ride on 22 May.

Places on the series are limited to 15, and will include helmets, Vale of York jerseys, and subsidised track fees.

The first nine places have gone to our taster participants. To register you or your family’s interest for the remaining six places, email steph@valeofyork.com now.
