ROAD TRAINING CAMP for A / B Riders Friday 20th – Sunday 22nd May 2022

Time & Location

20 May, 18:00 – 22 May, 14:30 (arrive between 6-8pm, with GROUP BRIEFING / WELCOME MEETING at 8pm)

High Adventure, 233 Keighley Rd, Cowling, Keighley BD22 0AA, UK

WHAT IS IT? 

A 2 day residential road training camp. [A B C D E Youth Riders Explained:  A = U16; B = U14; C = U12; D = U10; E = U8 – this is a guide for each camp and not a strict rule]

The riders will stay at a High Adventure Outdoor Education Centre in Yorkshire: the cost includes: 

*all food and accommodation 

* vehicular supported rides on both the Saturday & Sunday camp, also involving a time trial 

* a specialist 'Yoga for Cyclists' session 

* a specific 'Nutrition for Cyclists' session delivered by an industry expert with over 30 years experience and our training camp sponsor: Secret Training who are giving all our riders a 'Secret Training GOODY BAG' 

* post ride 'minimum bike maintenance' workshop v Archery Competition – some light hearted relief.

Also included is The Leap of Faith which is a solo `high ropes` challenge & Gladiator Challenge, which is a high ropes team challenge. 

WHAT DOES IT COST? £120 - which includes everything. Food, accommodation, training, free Secret Training GOODY BAG too, all workshops, prizes for the Time Trial which forms part of the Saturday Road Ride.

WHAT DO YOU NEED? 

* A clean, working bike.

* 2 complete sets of cycle clothing - the Dales weather can be wet :) 

*  A 'WET BAG' - this is a small bag of emergency extras that we put in the support vehicle, your road ride maintenance set up - usually a saddle bag, multi tool, pump and inner tube (fear not our support vehicle has better equipment) - we ask you to carry this as part of the training.

* Ride out nutrition - these are your own personal 'snicky snacks’.

*  A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTUTUDE – this is a smile on your face, a steely resolve, a never say die approach and an ability to go in to your own personal RED ZONE.

Room Allocation

Young racers will share rooms with others of a similar age and gender.

Any parents staying will share a room with another parent of the same gender (other than couples).

Ride Outs

Will have vehicle support – the minibuses will carry your WET BAG – this is your bag full of emergency (extra) layers of stuff to keep you dry and warm and your packed lunch.  The emergency clothing in your ‘wet bag’ SHOULD NOT be included as part of your 2 complete sets of cycle clothing for the weekend!  If things go to plan you will return with your ‘wet bag’ in tact minus your packed lunch each day.

High Ropes

Take a LEAP of FAITH to catch our trapeze bar and race against your cycle buddies in our high ropes GLADIATOR CHALLENGE.

OPTIONS FOR PARENTS: You can either drop your young racer and go (have the weekend off) or you can stay at the centre (the cost would be £75 - 2 nights accommodation, breakfast on Sat & Sun, packed lunch on Sat & Sun and evening meal on Sat) and enjoy the Dales - ride out yourself, visit the area for sight seeing, walking or whatever floats your boat.
