Beginners MTB Courses for Adults
Iceni Velo club sponsors Gold Medal Sports are running a coaching course to encourage more adults to try mountain biking.
If you have always wanted to give mountain biking a go but haven’t known where to start then this is the course for you! This 4 week course would also suit novice riders that would like to develop their existing skills a little bit further.
The 4 week course will cover a range of mountain biking skills including;
• Gear selection
• Braking
• Climbing hills
• Descending hills
• Cornering
• Balancing
The 4 sessions will take place on the following dates;
Sunday 8th May – (9am-12noon)
Sunday 15th May – (9am-12noon)
Sunday 22nd May – (9am-12noon)
Sunday 29th May – (9am-12noon)
The 4 x 3 hour sessions will all begin and end in the Brandon Country Park visitors centre car park and will take participants around a variety of trails within the Brandon and Thetford Country Parks. All sessions will be lead by Adam Williams, a Level 5 MIAS mountain biking instructor.
Participants will need to have a basic level of fitness but don’t worry if you are not an Olympic cyclist. All sessions will end with a well earned cup of tea or coffee and a slice of cake in the visitors centre cafe.
The 4 week course only costs £40 per person and includes FREE bike and helmet hire (if required). All you need to do is turn up wearing some suitable outdoor clothing.
If you would like to book a place on this course please email info@goldmedalsports.co.uk or call 07827 322756.

A busy and very good day for Iceni Velo. Today we held our 2012 road race on the short sharp circuit around Stoke Holy Cross which finishes at the top of the renowned Skeets hill.
I wasn’t particularly concerned about this as I had no great aspirations for the race so I rolled up to the start, took of my jacket and arm warmers and leant over the barriers to get a good luck hug from daughter #2 – it was at this point that the exceptionally loud starting pistol went and everyone apart from me started racing!
Broome Heath was pretty crisp at 7.00am on Sunday morning and – thanks to race organiser, Shaun Aldous, 5 volunteers, 140 white stakes and 4km of course tape – was slowly being transformed from a dog walkers mecca to a cyclo cross race course.
It was really touch and go as to whether i’d ride this event – it was a bit of an unknown, but from what i’d seen on the old internet, it looked like a fun evening – i’d play it by ear.
