Building on the success of training over 250 children to ride a bike in 2024, Moredon Sporting Hub (MSH) are planning more kid’s cycling clubs in 2025 to provide opportunities for kids to have fun on bikes.
The cycling clubs and sessions are designed to be affordable and inclusive, giving children a chance to try different cycling disciplines and develop a love of cycling. The site already boasts two road cycling clubs for kids, Peloteens and PACVELO cycling, run by cycling coach Paul Ashman on Monday evenings. Saturdays see the CV Mini Racers practice their cyclocross skills, and cycling coach Jennifer Purcell runs monthly ‘Wingz’ BMX sessions for kids with SEN.
In January Moredon Sporting Hub will be launching ‘Knobbly Tyres’, an introduction to Mountain Biking for kids from aged 6 to 16. There will be four introductory sessions, with the option of continuing after the 4 weeks to more advanced skills. It’s £6.00 per session, with bikes and helmets being available to borrow if required, at no extra cost. The sessions will be led by experienced mountain bike coaches, Adrian Rogers and Heather Ponting-Bather.
Children joining the sessions need not have any previous experience of mountain biking, providing they are confident cycling independently on two wheels.
Sessions will run between 10:30 – 12:30 on the following Saturday mornings:
- Saturday 11th January
- Saturday 25th January
- Saturday 8th February
The 4th session will take place in the February Half Term, with the date to be confirmed soon. Booking is essential to reserve a space.
