Many riders start as a Rookie with Cycle Stars, with very little experience of riding a bike let alone racing. Quite often  children just join Cycle Stars Rookies just to ride their bikes, learn new skills anfd make friends.

Experienced Coaches let riders learn at their own pace and ensure they have a god time, but very quickly we can see if a young rider has talent and is competitive either in Road or Cyclocross, and if we think a child is ready we can introduce them to racing. Blake pictured is one of our Academy riders, he has been with Cycle Stars for two years, when he joined us he just liked riding his bike but his passion was football.

Blake still loves football but his passion is now cycling, Blake has become a very strong road rider, recently coming second in the European Youth Tour at Assen, but he's also pretty good at Cyclocross and loves to get a bit muddy from time to time.

You can join Cycle Stars Rookies as young as 5 years old.
