Sky Rides are coming to Harrogate these are recreational rides to get more people cycling. They are organised by British Cycling the people behind the success of our world beating olympic cyclists, Mark Cavendish and Sir Bradley Wiggins. There will be a lot more news about these over the next year but for now. If you want to get involved with the whole setup and run some rides you can?
I just got this from Jo Armstrong at Harrogate Borough Council...
Sky Ride Local is coming to North Yorkshire in 2013 and we’re looking for confident recreational cyclists to train as Ride Leaders and Route Planners. You don’t need to be a cycling expert, just be confident riding in groups and have heaps of enthusiasm.
Our Ride Leaders are friendly, confident, chatty individuals who love encouraging others and are happy to operate as one member of a team. If this sounds like you then keep reading.
The British Cycling assessed one-day course qualifies you to deliver led rides for groups of beginners and intermediate level adults and accompanied children.
In North Yorkshire we currently have Sky Ride leader training courses scheduled on:
14th April - York
18th May – Harrogate
22nd June - York
To get involved, get in touch with us at skyride@britishcycling.org.uk and tell us where you live, postcode, a little about yourself, why you would make a great Ride Leader and if you hold a valid first aid certificate.
