IBC Off Road Coaching Session – Sat 3rd Dec – Foxhall Stadium

/ Mark Salter
Dear Riders and Parents,
 
 
We are planning a coaching session Sat 3rd Dec 2016 at Foxhall Stadium, Ipswich –    IP4 5QW. Please use the Foxhall Road entrance to the stadium if you are travelling by car.
 
 
Coaches Ross, Adam and Peter  will greet you  and run the session. The session will focus on some skills and ‘fun’ racing.
 
 
The session will run from 10am-12noon for riders aged 7yrs+ incorporating Adults too.  Club membership is not essential but you are always  welcome to join .
 
Important – Please arrive no later than 9.45am  –  Parents that haven’t completed a consent form this year as yet, we will have some to complete on the day.
 
Don‘t forget your bicycle (in full working order), helmet, gloves and drink, £3.00 per rider and appropriate ‘warm’ clothing for the weather, it is likely to be cold!
 
The session is aimed at the off-road discipline so cyclo-cross or mtb bikes with off-road tyres are most suitable.
 
If there are high winds on the day sessions may be cancelled. Please phone to check.
Kind regards,
 
Peter Ingram
