Dunfermline Cycling Club Coaching Day at Ingliston

Dunfermline cycling club will be conducting a road coaching day on Sunday 12th March 2017. This event is open to all members of Dunfermline cycling club and has also been offered to members of Carnegie Cyclones to continue developing the close links between the clubs.

The day will be progressive starting with some very basic techniques and skills including braking, cornering, gear selection, progressing to group riding and for those considering road racing there will be coach led scenarios later in the day. If you ride with the club on the road then this is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and technique allowing you to become a safer and more confident cyclist.

Additionally for those that have not been coached before there is time when you will be watching demonstrations, Q and A sessions so it is advised you bring along warm kit you can put on and take off quickly on top of your cycling clothing.
