Rookie Racers

Rookie Racers: this is for children that are keen to start racing and who need to learn the basics first. We meet at Belmont School in Cheltenham every Saturday, where rookies will learn bike handling skills and participate in some mock races.

Occasionally we invite rookies to try out a cycle racing track, this is usually at Evesham Velo so they can experince what it's like riding on a professional track.

From August we coach Cyclocross which is off-road cycling, they might get a bit muddy but that adds to the fun. Cyclocross finishes in January when we return to the track.

Once the rookies are ready to progress they can then move up to Race Club and join other children that are already racing in cycle events.
