What an incredible start to our Junior Development Program at the Sunshine Coast Cycling Club this Tuesday! We were thrilled to welcome 8 enthusiastic young riders who jumped on their bikes with beaming smiles and infectious energy. From the moment they arrived, their keenness to learn and race was undeniable!
Our first session, "Bike & Body Basics" was all about building those crucial foundations. We covered essential bike safety, practiced riding in super-straight lines, and even had some fun with slow-speed balance drills, the art of course we practice riding as a group on the crit track, and then allowed them to have a push and finish up with a sprint where Peter let Brendan know he is coming for him. It was brilliant to see the kids so engaged, soaking up every tip, and already showing fantastic control. A couple of these juniors are definitely already looking race-ready!
This program is designed to prepare our young cyclists for safe, fun, and competitive racing in the very near future. We're not just turning up to ride, we're building their confidence, teaching smart race tactics, and fostering a love for pushing their limits in a supportive environment. Over the coming weeks, they'll be mastering cornering, braking, group riding, and so much more, all geared towards getting them ready to shine in criterium races and then followed by road races.
We're incredibly proud of these future champions and can't wait to see their progress!
