From 9th July until 18th August: Cycling sessions for young riders.

Stourbridge Cycling Club ran a number of sessions for local children which turned out to be very successful.
Each session lasted one hour where riders were able to develop their skills and techniques. Every week the riding became progressively more challenging and moved onto small competitions and short off-road rides.
The sessions were run by fully qualified Level 2 coaches who have experience in many cycling disciplines and were able to give much advice on all things bikes.
Riders showing a keen interest/ability have been invited along to club rides where they can further develop their fitness.
Stourbridge Cycling Club is a well established club which provides club activities for a wide range of cycling disciplines and is keen to encourage more young people into cycling.
Nationally, cycling is seeing a large increase in numbers, encouraged by the huge success of multiple gold medals at the recent World Track Championships held in Manchester and the 2008 Olympics.
