On Wednesday evenings 18:30 – 20:30 we run our youth race development training sessions at the Doncaster Dome cycle track.  These sessions consist of 2 hours of top quality circuit race coaching at the Doncaster cycle track.
We’re really passionate about these sessions, as former (and current) racers ourselves, we love to see young riders enjoying the competitive side of cycling.

These sessions are aimed at young racers aged 12-17, who are looking to develop their race fitness alongside their racing skillset. In contrast to our Saturday race sessions, these mid-week sessions involve more of a training element. The session is often split between group drills and individual efforts, with riders regularly completing over 45km of cycling.

1. Floodlit track. A massive benefit now the nights are drawing in. Riders can still get out on their bikes mid-week. The Doncaster Dome cycle circuit is a purpose-built cycle circuit, featuring a cobbled climb & a mix of sweeping and tight corners.  
2. Traffic free environment. We all know the roads are getting busier, the cycle track is closed to cars.  
   
3. Expert coaches. In addition to their coaching qualifications our Wednesday evening coaches have years of top-level experience in the sport, having raced at national and international level across multiple endurance disciplines. We bring this real world experience into our coaching sessions, ensuring we teach riders the necessary skills along side developing the fitness needed to thrive in the sport.  
   
4. Friendly group environment. The social aspect of cycling is key to enjoying the sport. We pride ourselves on having a friendly, inclusive training group. Everyone is welcome to come along, join in the chat and enjoy a training session with us.
