We can’t believe how fast this year is going, the February half-term is rapidly approaching & along with it so are our Doncaster cycling holiday camps - we're so excited! This February we’ve tweaked the format of our camps so that they’ll be better than ever, we’re running 3 brilliant camps, Pedal, Learn & Race Masterclass. We're also offering special bespoke 1:1 sessions in the afternoons, these can be tailored to the individual and cater for any ability or age.

This February all our camps take place at the Doncaster Dome Cycle Track, Bawtry Rd, Doncaster DN4 7PD.

Our Pedal camps are all about having fun on bikes. They’re inclusive and aimed at a wide range of youngsters, anyone from 5-16. Each session is 2.5 hours, within the sessions we cover a wide range of skills and techniques.

We use competitions and challenges alongside our full range of ramps and equipment to provide riders with new experiences & keep them engaged throughout. Our experienced coaching team will tailor the sessions to suit the rider’s ability and if necessary split the group to ensure everyone has fun and develops their skills along the way.

What better way to spend a morning than out in the fresh air, getting some exercise, making friends and learning some news skills along the way.

Our Pedal camps are taking place between 10:00-12:30, on Tuesday 15/02/22 & Wednesday 16/02/22. 
The price of these sessions is £25.

Our learn camps are an all new holiday activity, they’re aimed at older riders (7+) who have yet to gain confidence on 2 wheels.

Our experienced coaches will deliver a fun filled, confidence building 2.5-hour session where we aim to progress the riders to the point that they’re pedalling unaided. We’ll use on and off the bike challenges to work on the fundamentals needed to ride bikes before practicing techniques on the bikes.
Additionally we’ll use pieces of equipment to help challenge riders as they become more confident and hone their skills further.

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 warmup protocols, cornering, sprinting, climbing/descending, off the bike S&C movements & race tactics just to name a few.

Additionally, we’ll be taking the competitive scenarios to a new level, with coach led racing, national length races, multiple stages/events & much more in order to add a new dimension to the tactics required.

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 warmups, feedback, tactics etc.

Our ex-professional coaches will lead this session, so youngsters will get a chance to learn from some of the best. 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.

Our February Race Masterclass takes place on Monday 14/02/21. 
The price for this session is £50
