We’ll be working closely with the firm’s cycling team to offer our Ride Captains British Cycling Level 1 and 2 Ride Leadership training* and support further diversification of club membership.

* This course trains Ride Leaders to lead rides in more remote environments and challenging terrain, over longer distances more than 50miles. The award qualifies leaders to deliver guided bike rides for groups of intermediate and advanced level adults, providing them with an understanding of the processes involved with a longer and more challenging ride.
The course covers group riding etiquette, advanced communication, group management on longer rides and in challenging terrain, decision making and advanced risk management.
