Supporting Young Riders

WVCC’s youth development programme aims 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.

Two riders are being supported by the Club to work with the Bryan Steele Youth Academy for 2021, and another rider will be supported in attending British Cycling Regional School of Racing events for CX and MTB, and the National School of Racing for MTB.  These riders will be providing updates on their progress throughout the year (not withstanding the current COVID 19 crisis).

Furthermore, juvenile and junior members wanting advice and support can call on a wide range of experience and expertise in the Club for racing, training and technical advice.  Contact the Club’s racing secretaries and the coaching team in the first instance and they will do their best to help.
