Brendan Fairclough will be holding a training session on the 19th/20th of December at the Gawton track . He might even teach you how to do his trade mark whip (will he win the whip comp this weekend?)

The classes are limited to only 8 riders, so you will receive personal attention from one of the world’s best downhill racers and his coaching colleagues.

There will be two days over the 19th and 20th of December. The cost for one day is £120, this including all the coaching, use of the venue, timing and the days uplifts. The ‘perfect’ stocking filler.

An accredited British Cycling coach will also be in attendance to further develop learning and ensure safety and provide first aid.

To make bookings or for further information please don’t hesitate to contact [email protected] or 07891100564.

These two particular days are aimed at intermediate riders who have a willingness to be put through their passes and progressed.
