Rider Development Programme – 02 April 2016 Assessment
Well done to all riders who took part in circuit group assessments on what turned out to be a beautiful sunny Spring Saturday in April! From Bronze riders trying out assessments for the first time, to Silver progressions and Gold promotes, you all rode very well and the standard of riding is getting very high. Coaches have sent in the names of riders who have moved up a group, so do scroll down for the full list. Well done all of you!
If you don’t see your name in the table, please talk to your Coach and ask them for some feedback – remember it’s not unusual to remain in a group for a few cycles, and there is no competition to see who can progress the fastest. Everyone develops at their own pace, and if you’ve forgotten, here’s a reminder of Head Coach Dave George’s wise words: “The pathway to good performance is a journey of hard work over months and years, not weeks!”
Certificates & Bands
We missed handing these out this year, and will be doing this en masse on Saturday 16h April after the main session. If you have not yet received your certificate and band from the February and April assessments, stick around to receive this and stand on the podium! If you can’t make it this weekend, we will hold onto your certificate for a few weeks so do come and ask us for it.
And Now, Without Further Ado, April 2016 Promotes
If you don’t see your name in the table, but think this is in error and it should be, please talk to your coaches. Make sure you bring your passports to be signed off if you have not yet done so – if you have lost your passport, bring £1 for this to be replaced. Congratulations to the following riders:

WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!
And a Reminder – If You Missed Your Assessment…!
Don’t panic! Don’t despair! When you return to the club, let your Coach know that you missed the assessment, and discuss options with them directly. Unfortunately, with us being such a busy club it is not always possible to arrange a special assessment for any one rider after Assessment Saturday, especially as all our sessions are group sessions and not one-to-one for a number of reasons. However, at the discretion of the group lead Coaches, if it’s practical, and depending which group the rider is in, plus a number of other varying factors such as the size of the group and safety conditions, an assessment may be possible. To be clear, this is not a guarantee and it is important to always talk to the coaches.
For future assessment dates, check out the Club Calendar online, talk to the Coaches, and keep an eye out in the newsletter for further announcements.
