Circuit Race Masterclass' 2025
in 2025 we'll be running more of our ever popular circuit race masterclass sessions.
We’ve got former circuit race national champions, ex professional road racers & experienced racers among our coaches, we feel this brings an
added dimension to the coaching and the tips/tricks that they’ll impart
throughout the day.
Held at the brilliant Doncaster Dome
cycle track, this purpose-built cycling facility has everything you could need
for a day of circuit race coaching, tight corners, sweeping turns, it’s even
got a cobbled climb!
Timings - 10:00-16:00
Location - Doncaster Dome cycle track, Bawtry Rd, Doncaster DN4 7PD.
Age range - 10-16
Price - £60
Required skills – all that’s is required is an interest in racing, a positive attitude and sufficient fitness to spend the day on the bikes. The riding will be broken up throughout the day, with skills drills and snack breaks so don’t worry about needing to be able to ride for 6 hours straight – we won’t ask you to do that!
Our race masterclass session is the ultimate for young racers ages 10-16. sessions will be comprised of all the elements needed for riders to succeed at a National level. We’ll leave no stone unturned with activities covering things like warmup protocols, cornering, sprinting, climbing/descending & race tactics just to name a few. Additionally, we’ll be taking the competitive scenarios to a new level, with coach led racing. We’ll start off in the morning focusing mainly on improving our fundamental racing skills e.g. cornering, group riding etc. Then in the afternoon we’ll include the main coach led racing and put the skills we’ve learned earlier in the day to the test – don’t think the afternoon is all about racing though, in-between the competition we’ll continue the learning by including mini workshops on things like warmups, feedback, tactics etc.
Spending the day with us means that children get to develop new racing skills, build further on their existing ones & explore all aspects of circuit racing.
What equipment is needed?
- Working Road bike – double check your bike ahead of the day, nothing is worse than stopping the fun because of a mechanical.
- Spare innertube (that fits your bike)
- Packed lunch (with lots of high energy food)
- Warm clothing and waterproofs. You can’t have enough of these even if the weather looks great, we’ll be outside all day and once cold or wet it’s hard to warmup again.
- Plenty of snacks and drinks. Cycling is hard work, so lots of high energy snacks (bananas, flapjacks and jelly babies are popular) are important. Plenty of water/drinks.
- Gloves/mitts – cold hands are horrible. Crashing without gloves is also unpleasant.
- Helmet
- Sun cream.
