It’s back to school and the daylight hours are getting shorter, but it’s not time to put the bike away yet! There’s plenty of exciting cycling opportunities over the coming months at Moredon Sporting Hub (MSH), for all ages and abilities. Here’s some new sessions for the Autumn!
FREE BMXercise sessions for women & girls have started at the MSH pump track on Monday evenings, from 6-7pm. Local cycling coach, Jennifer Purcell, is running these fun and friendly sessions. Beginners are very welcome. There are bikes and helmets available to borrow, thanks to grant funding from Wiltshire & Swindon Sport Partnership (WASP). WASP have also provided funding to enable the BMX pump track at Moredon to be FREE for the public to use.
Do you know an adult or older child who’d like to learn to cycle? In addition to our weekly learn to ride sessions for women on Tuesdays, we’ve started a 6 week programme of learn to ride & confidence sessions for adults and older children on a Saturday afternoon, from 3.30- 5pm. Sessions are led by cycle instructors and volunteers in a safe and welcoming environment, bikes and helmets are available to borrow. It’s just £3.00 to join, you can book in advance on the MSH website or just pay at reception on the day. Children and adults who can already cycle are welcome to accompany the learner riders at the session and ride around the track whilst the session is taking place.
Following our popular SEND children’s cycling session that we started during the school holidays, we are now running a session for disabled children and adults on Saturday afternoons, from 2 to 3.30pm. It’s an opportunity for anyone who identifies as having a disability to enjoy cycling alongside friends and family on the traffic-free cycle track at Moredon. Participants are welcome to borrow one of our adapted cycles or standard cycles. It’s £3.00 per adult or child, and a parent/carer goes free of charge. Booking is via the MSH website, or pop along to reception on the day.
We have also launched a weekly ‘Pedal and Pastries‘ morning, every Wednesday, between 10 and 12. This is a chance for people over 60 to enjoy a cake, coffee and ride around the track, for just £8.00 per person.
We hope to see you at Moredon Sporting Hub soon. For any queries, please get in touch with me at rebeccacox@britishcycling.org.uk or call: 07515606704.
