go-ride go-ride In the UK, 'British Cycling' is the Sport England funded, governing body of the sport, responsible for all competition and development activities. 'Go ride' is the name given to a British Cycling initiative to specially develop a Premier League of the top 100 cycling clubs. These clubs are specially selected for having all the requirements to encourage young people into our sport.
The
Chelmer Cycling Club is now an accredited Go ride Club. We have always been
one of the foremost clubs for youth activities. We work in local schools and
with the Sports Development Officers of Chelmsford Borough Council, to
develop suitable cycling activities for youngsters. We run training schemes
in schools and summer holiday activities on behalf of the council. We are
lucky in Chelmsford to have a cycle path network that enables us to take very
young riders on up-to ten mile rides, without going on to main roads, and of
course our indoor interactive facilities are ideal for safe training. Our
coaches are specially trained to understand the needs of young people, having
completed 'Good Practise and Child Protection Training', are fully insured
and all have C.R.B. checks for your security. Go ride clubs also have trained
Child Welfare Officers for your additional assurance.
We
have a special Saturday Morning Club for youngsters, which
starts at 10.30 and finishes around 12.00. Parents may stay with the
youngsters or leave them for the period.
These
Saturday morning sessions are at our Meteor Way headquarters and are run by a
fully qualified coach. We operate regardless of the weather as we can use our
indoor facilities.
The
following activities are part of British Cycling's Go ride package to help
clubs.
However,
the best way to understand the Go ride programme, is
to take a look at the web site, which can be accessed from this link.

Cycling
Proficiency Training
Chelmer Cycling Club now organises ' Bikeability' National Standard Cycle Training for youngsters. The new National Standard has been developed by the Department of Transport in conjunction with a number of cycling bodies as a replacement for Cycling Proficiency.
Go Ride Gears 1 & 2 are now aligned to Level 1 on the National Standard, so youngsters who have completed a Go Ride course, are on the way to the Bikeability National Standard Certificate! For more information about cycle training for both youngsters and adults, have a look at the web site of www.cycletrainingeast.org.uk Cycle Training East is a 'not for profit' company set up to promote safe cycling. |
