Summit Go-Ride Coaching Session - Hyde Heath Village Common

Our next Go Ride session is taking place on Hyde Heath Village Common, near Amersham (postcode HP6 5RW, opposite 'The Plough' pub). This is a two hour skills coaching session for ages 6+ lead by qualified British Cycling Coaches and split into ability groups. (We sometimes take younger children - depending on their ability and the number of coaches we have available - please email us - summitgoride@gmail.com to discuss). We usually aim to work on 1-2 specific skills in each session and often end the session with fun games or a team relay race. 

Please meet at 9.45am at the picnic tables opposite the pub to register and be ready to ride for 10am. You can park opposite the pub, or down the lane by Hyde Heath Infant School just on the edge of the common. The session will finish at 12noon opposite the pub again. Please make sure you bring a drink and snack, helmet and gloves. Can you also please take a few minutes before coming to check the rider’s helmet fits properly and the bike is in good working order. Riders should be using a mountain bike or a hybrid fitted with gears and treaded tyres. Ideally bikes should have flat (not SPD-type) pedals, and given the flinty nature of the wood knee pads are a good idea too if you have them. Please make sure there is no loose clothing or shoe laces that could be caught on the bike.

If you would like to join us (or would like more information) then simply book to confirm your attendance BY MIDDAY ON FRIDAY 1st September at the latest with a contact number for the day. WE ARE LIMITED IN NUMBERS DUE TO COACH AVAILABILITY SO REGISTER EARLY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PLACE. LATECOMERS (after 10am) MAY BE TURNED AWAY!!

The cost of the session is £5 per Summit member rider and £7 for non Summit member.  This cost is to help cover the cost of leasing the land from the Forestry Commission and to carry out maintenance work. Please try to bring the correct change! New/potential members should email us before the session to complete a Parental Consent Form.
