COACHING SESSIONS
The club is proud to be affiliated with British cycling and currently has six BC accredited coaches, the coaching provided has two paths, one a skilled path centred around correct position on a bike and bike handling and riding in a group. The second path is for competition this includes the same things but also includes more performance orientation aspects such as tactics, pacing, pre-race preparation.
BIKEPACKING
Some small adventures like, riding from Kings Lynn to Snettisham entirely of road, stopping for a cup of tea and breakfast on a camp stove. Larger adventures such as bike packing around Wales carrying everything you need.
TRIPS AWAY
This could be to famous races such as Paris Roubaix or the tour of Flanders where we ride the course the day(s) before and watch the race. Or Bike packing in Wales and the UK or further afield. Or a trip to a velodrome etc.
CLUB RIDES
Starting in spring when the roads are free of ice, there will be a mixture of distances for club rides anything from 10miles (great to get kids riding on the road) to 200+ mile rides such as round Norfolk and everything in between.
TURBO SESSIONS
Group indoor workout sessions are great in winter when the evenings are dark to maintain fitness ready for spring when outdoor riding is easier.
