Posted on behalf of Mel MacRae:

I am involved in running and coaching at some of these sessions and wondered if some of the Perth United CC ladies would be interested in attending? I will be travelling down on some of the days from Perth so could share transport with anyone that was interested

The Scottish Women's Track School

The Scottish Cycling Women’s Track School in association with Filles a Velo is a series of coaching sessions that will lead up to a Go-Race (fun) Track Meet at the end of the program. All sessions (including the track meet) will take place at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Glasgow. Coaching sessions are on the 7, 14, 21 July with the track meet on the 4 August 2013.

The Track School is for compete novice to beginner/intermediate riders aged 16 and over, those already racing need not apply. However, riders that have just completed accreditation but are lacking confidence or skill are welcome. Riders will be split into ability groups and will be coached at their appropriate level. There will be 3 coaching sessions and it is preferred that riders attend all or as many as possible to take advantage of this opportunity.

Bike hire will be available for all the coaching sessions and the track meet. This will be provided through Glasgow Life and is arranged on the day at the velodrome.This summer school offers ideal female rider and coach development and with the addition of a track meet opens an opportunity for continued development of female race officials.

How to register

Entry can be made via the British Cycling online entry system for all the coaching sessions and the track meet.
