HOPE XC SERIES 2011 COACHING INITIATIVE

As part of Brownback's aim to encourage riders into the sport side of mountain biking they are providing a great initiative for their "Have-a-go" riders. If you sign-up for a series entry you become eligible to request a place on their training sessions. There are 24 places available with 8 initially reserved for women (as a women only group subject to numbers). The training dates are 4th June and 30th July. These sessions are aimed at novice/ new riders who enter the "Have-a-go" categories. The coaching is delivered by experienced qualified mountain bike coaches who all hold the latest British Cycling Level 2 MTB XC qualification amongst others. They have three volunteer coaches who are highly experienced and support their initiative. The first day is an introductory one focusing on the basic skills and the do's and don'ts on race day, the second date will build on the first date and the experience of a couple of races.

If you've entered the 2011 Hope XC series in the 'Have a go hero' category this is open to you, if you haven't get your entry in and take advantage of this excellent offer. For details of the race series visit the Brownbacks website.
