They’ll be running 30 minute skills sessions and every participant will go away with a goody bag, good ideas and real biking inspiration. On Sunday the emphasis will shift to getting over obstacles and into the air, with junior pump and jump sessions. Again based out of the skills area at the heart of the event, the CycleActive instruction will be safe, professional and give junior riders a whole bunch of new techniques to work on.
