Supporting Young Riders

WVCC launched its youth development programme for the 2020 season, following work done to better understand why young riders often step away from cycling and the Club and whether there are steps the Club can take to better support and mentor riders as they progress from Whizz Kids.

Thank you to Rowland Summerlin for developing the club’s approach to supporting young riders.

As part of this, juvenile and junior members wanting advice and support are encouraged engage with experienced members for racing, training and technical advice, through the Club’s racing secretaries, and the coaching team:

Racing Secretaries:

Tim Smith – Time Trial Secretary

Phil Rayner – Road Race Secretary

Adrian Killworth – Off Road Secretary

Club Coaches:

Kath Akoslovski – Seniors Coach

Kevin Nicholls – Juniors Coach

Simon Ward – Coach
