Bicycle maintenance evening
The Cycling Ulster Off-road Commission organised a bicycle maintenance evening on Thursday 19 September 2024. This was held at Cycleology in Armagh. Alistair from Cycleology had laid on teas, coffees and ice cream buns on arrival. The eleven attendees enjoyed the two hour session which covered a lot of the basics of looking after bikes while at home or out on the trail.
Introduction to cross-country racing
On Sunday 25 February 2024, Cycling Ulster off-road commission coaches hosted an introduction to cross-country racing session at Barnetts Demesne in Belfast. Attending were 8 boys and 1 girl ranging in age from 4 to 11. This was ahead of the upcoming Spring series which is 3 races being held in March in Belfast by Kinning Cycles. Skills covered were mass starts and some time trials along a section of the mountain bike trails over a 90 minute period. Well done to all the young riders.
