Neo Cycling Club

There are three types of riders; New to DGV ---------------- In the last two sessions, we’ve had four riders who had never been to DGV, who can now comfortably ride the track above the blue. They could ride in a team sprint this year. Ridden DGV before and showing up to training ---------------- They will most likely make it into a Team Sprint, Team Pursuit, or both. Riders not coming to DGV. ---------------- If you haven’t started coming to training for logistical reasons, I get it. Common reasons include; -It’s currently school holidays, so some of you have been away. -That’s fine, start when you can. -It’s hard to get away from work for the day time sessions. -Talk to me. We can arrange for someone to take your kid. We’ve already had a kid who could make it, but his parents couldn’t. We delivered him, his bike and rollers there. On top of all that, he learnt to ride DGV without the support of his parents present. -You have a young rider who is nervous about riding the boards. Maybe next year? -They will still be nervous next year. The passage of time never makes them less nervous. It is harder next year as they have the pressure of their peers and younger riders already riding, while they are not. Their nerves subside with each successful ride at DGV. -Yes, adults are nervous too for the first few sessions. If you are not riding at DGV at all, we can’t consider you for a team. If you start now, you will have an opportunity to ride a winter Friday night series before having enough experience for this time next year at the very least. At best, you may be considered to ride a team sprint event. -Any other reason. That's fine, start when you can.
