October 2022 School Holiday Sessions
During these school holidays come and experience our unique holiday sessions, from the 3rd - 13 of October, at the Grassroots Trust Velodrome. No matter your skill level everyone is welcome to join, from complete beginners through to the more experienced. Registration closes 30th September.
If you have never ridden on the Grassroots Trust Velodrome and want to give it a try, then you can absolutely come along. We are offering our Junior Learn to Ride sessions, and this is a great place for kids to start their track cycling journey. They will be coached towards becoming competent to ride our track. We also have a range of other sessions for already accredited riders!
Please also remember to bring a snack and water – it’s hard work!
