Race Training - Session 1

You don’t need any racing experience to join us. Each session is relaxed but practical, guided by British Cycling coaches and experienced riders. You’ll develop skills, improve confidence in bunch riding, and learn key race techniques step-by-step, with no pressure to race if you're not sure yet.

It’s also a great opportunity if you're simply looking to build better group riding habits, ride more smoothly in events or road settings, or just want to try something new in a supportive environment.

Each session includes 90 minutes of structured, skills-focused riding followed by 30 minutes off-bike, chatting through questions, sharing advice, and working out what’s next—for you.

You’ll meet other women at different points in their riding. Some will be racing soon, others might just be curious. Everyone’s welcome.

*we define women as all women, all non binary and all trans people

• Road bike (no mudguards or tri-bars; bar ends plugged)
• Helmet, clipless shoes, suitable clothing
• Food and drink
• Tools and spares you usually carry
• Optional notebook for post-session notes

These sessions align closely with the London Academy GP at Lee Valley. Last year, 39 women entered the 4th category race, making it the most welcoming and well-attended women-only race in London. These sessions will help ensure you feel prepared and comfortable, whether this is yout first race or one of many. And you can enter here.

Cost:

£15 per session

Reduced to £12.50 if attending both sessions (16th & 23rd August)
