Breeze Basingstoke presents ladies only cycle coaching, both for total beginners, and for anyone that would like to improving their bike skills, led by a female British Cycling Level 2 coach. There are THREE MORE sessions, 15th & 29th September, and 6th October, all in safe surroundings at Everest Community Academy and with quiet lanes close by to practice on the road with short rides as required. The beginner/introductory sessions will start with basic bike checks so you can be more confident that your bike is safe and working effectively. This can also including looking at your basic position on the bike, saddle height etc and how to change it! Then the session will move onto how to pedal effectively and consider braking under control and progressing onto gear changing and better cornering. For the more experienced riders among you the sessions or for those who are progressing the session may start with a bike check and then move onto braking then better cornering. Once you are confident with that we will move onto how best to ride and change position within a group, to gain confidence of riding safely and enjoyable with others including ascending and decending techniques. We can all I am sure learn something for these sessions but particularly welcome beginners or those who haven't seen or used their bike in a very long time, as well as regular riders who want to improve their technique/ have never had the benefit of a qualified coach! All abilities welcome. Any queries, contact [email protected] www.facebook.com/breezingstoke twitter @breezingstoke Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.
