Addiscombe Youth - Go Ride
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2016 10:11 pmJust to let you all know - particularly parents - we are launching our own youth training effort on April 10th. Initially we'll be looking at children aged 7 - 12 who can already ride a bike, but they will be learning handling and group riding skills.
We have four members who are qualified and vetted in the [url=https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/go-ride/article/goridest-What-is-Go-Ride?c=EN]British Cycling Go Ride[/url] scheme. Some of you may know them - they are Tim Coales, Simon Lythgoe, Keith Gray and Paul Tunnell. Thanks very much to them for taking the time to go through the qualification. We have a club welfare officer - Andrea Howlett - who will be dealing with any concerns that parents or kids have.
Hopefully this is the start of something great. To get youngsters interested in cycling then progressing on to the club runs and racing. There is a gap in our area with Go Ride clubs in Sutton, Bromley, Redhill and up at Herne Hill but nothing in the Croydon area until now.
Once again, thanks to our team of five and to British Cycling for their support in this. We can always use more helpers though - generally or as coaches or welfare officers.
