Rider Development Programme – 13th February 2016 Assessment
WOW! What a rather cold and chilly training session experienced last weekend! Every single one of you who turned up for training and assessments should be immensely proud of yourselves for braving the elements and getting on those bikes! Well done all of you.
The Coaches have submitted the names of those who have been promoted, so scroll down for this. If you remain in your current groups, please don’t be upset – in the wise words of our Head Coach, Dave George: “The pathway to good performance is a journey of hard work over months and years, not weeks!” Talk to your Coaches, ask for feedback, listen to their guidance and tips, apply the learning, and keep at it. They are there to help you be the best you can be, so please don’t be afraid to talk to them!
Certificates & Bands
All promotes will have their certificates printed and presented, with bands, during the end of session announcements in the next week or two – please kindly be patient whilst we process these for you. We will let you all know when these are ready!

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.
