If you are in the BC Central Region, enjoy mountain biking, and would like to get more performance focussed coaching in this area, read on…
British Cycling are planning to hold a few Central squad training sessions early in the year, and are on a scouting mission! Places for the squad training will be very limited, but the coaches will be on the lookout for riders in age categories Youth and younger to potentially be selected for the training squad based on lap time results at upcoming MTB XC (cross-country) races.
The three that they have focussed on are:
- Gorrick Round 1 at Saddleback Hill, Sunday 18th January [Full details here]
- Gorrick Round 2 at Crowthorne Wood, Sunday 8th February [Full details here]
- Southern XC Round 1 at Black Park, Sunday 1st March [Full details here]
This is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in MTB, meet other riders from the region, and potentially be considered for further selection to the BC Central Regional MTB Team – selection criteria for this will be announced separately. We’ve had a few Slipstreamers train and make the teams in this capacity for Road and Track, and we would encourage you to give it a go – it would be fantastic to add MTB to the list!
