Hetton Coaching Session - Applied Race Skills 4th July 2009
Submitted by hodgsot on 3 July 2009 - 7:40am.This week's session is designed to enable riders to use most of the things they have been practising this season. Please bring a bottle with you, preferably full - because it may well be hot. I am hoping that if we have sufficient coaches and helpers, a separate "Go-Ride" session will be available for our younger riders.
Call out to parents who can help by riding with groups and supporting the coaching - many thanks in advance.

Road Ride 27th june 2009
Submitted by TonyF on 24 June 2009 - 8:51pm.This Saturday there is no session at Hetton as the circuit has been booked by another group. However, there is a ride on roads around Northumberland for those capable of riding 20-30 miles. The road ride will be split into two group, both starting from the Sports Centre car park in Ponteland, and meeting up for a cafe stop at Capheaton. This is a club ride, not a coached session, and will rely upon riding support from parents.
