Are you new to the track and want to increase your confidence?
BikeNZ qualified Coaches, Denise Brown and Megan Blatchford-Peck will be available this Saturday, 20 October at the Johnson Park Velodrome to help you practice the basics:
· Starts from fence and held
· Pace lines
· Group Riding
The Standing Start is an important skill for all track riders. It can make the difference between winning and losing, when riding events such as the kilo, 500m TT, keirin, pursuit and derby races. A big part of being a fast starter is learning the correct technique. Brent Zimmerman, master’s track cyclist, was one of the fastest starters in New Zealand when competing in his youth. Come and learn from Brent. He will teach you how to improve your standing starts. This practical coaching clinic is strictly limited to a small number of participants. If there is sufficient demand, another session will be scheduled afterwards.
You must register to reserve your space as number’s are limited.
