Riders should be booked onto a session via the Tykes account on the Spond app to avoid the use of cash*. Brand new riders are the exception to this as the first session is free as a taster. Parents / guardians of new riders will be asked to fill out a contact form.
We are now encouraging both adults and riders to provide us with feedback on our sessions so that we can ensure that participants are getting the most from training and, primarily, enjoying themselves. The feedback form can be found here.
Marley Mondays
These sessions will take place from 6.00pm and last for approximately an hour. During BST months (ie. around April to October) the sessions are open to all riders. During the Winter months, the Marley sessions are intended only for our more experienced riders. Younger riders and / or those with a more limited skillset should attend the Saturday sessions at Cliffe Caste Park (see below).
All riders will need to have lights on their bikes during the darker months.
Please be aware that the barrier at Marley may be in place, so cars arriving with bikes on the roof may need to stop and remove the bike before entering the car park. Please also note that the car park is very busy at 6pm as a number of football coaching sessions are beginning / ending at 6pm, so allowing a little extra time to get into Marley is worth considering.
Monday sessions are largely based around the discipline of cyclocross. For more information, visit the What Is Cyclocross? page.

Saturdays at Cliffe Castle Park
These sessions are for the Beginner / Intermediate riders and take place during the Winter months from 10.30am, running for a approximately an hour. These will resume once more on 9 November.
Riders should meet at the top field by the café. *Please refrain from riding bikes on the grass by the café as it can get us into trouble with the park.
