On Saturdays, four training sessions are held aimed at the following levels of expertise: Beginner, Novice, Intermediate and Expert.

Other policies.

As an affiliated club, we benefit from our ability to use British Cycling’s policies and procedures. As such, those policies and procedures form the basis of all that we do. However, it may be the case that the club identifies an area where it wishes to have its own policies. In such a case, the club will develop its own policy, and the club’s policy will serve to form an extension of the relevant British Cycling policy. There may be cases where the club’s policy replaces some aspects of the British Cycling ones.
