What is Go-Ride?

Go-Ride is British Cycling’s development programme for young people and provides a fun and safe way to introduce young riders, aged 6 to 16 years, to the world of cycle sport. It looks to develop basic, intermediate and advanced bike handling skills. This involves games, skills, drills, group riding, close contact, race games and simulations.


Format

We run four Groups with up to 20 riders in each group. The groups build the skills and confidence in a fun, supportive way to so that riders can progress at their own pace through the groups.

The broad aim of each group:

Group 1 - Introduction to Go-Ride and cycling basics
Group 2 - Development of skills and introduction to basic group riding
Group 3 - Development of group riding
Group 4 - Confident, faster group riding
