Coaching at Newbury Velo

Newbury Velo has a team of 13 amazingly committed coaches. All our coaches have undergone British Cycling training and hold a current DBS check. We hold British Cycling Coaching Indemnity and Liability Insurance. We are a British Cycling Go-Ride club, which makes us a fantastic places to get out on a bike, whether it’s part of a coached session, a group ride or accessing some amazing cycling facilities. Over 90% of the Great Britain Cycling Team starting out in Go-Ride Clubs, they are a great place to start out, whether you are an aspiring champion, or you just need more confidence on a bike. As a Go-Ride club, we are able to provide:

  • A Club for Young People:  Go-Ride Clubs offer a fun, inclusive and safe environment for riders under the age of 18. At the heart of Go-Ride activity is the opportunity for riders to progress whilst enjoying their cycling.

  • Peace of mind for parents:  All Go-Ride Club volunteers are suitably qualified, including DBS-checks, and all Go-Ride activity is suitably risk assessed.

  • Ease of getting involved:  Just like any sports club, the emphasis is on regular, local and affordable activities to make it easy to keep coming back and create a sporting habit for life.

  • Opportunities for aspiring champions:  Most of the Great Britain Cycling Team’s biggest stars started out at a Go-Ride Club. Just like Laura and Jason Kenny!
