The session will take place at the time you have booked. Please arrive at your session time ten minutes beforehand, with your bike and helmet prepared ready to go to avoid delays in your start time.

Depending on the location, there may not be any toilet facilities nearby so please ensure you are prepared and take care of any bathroom requirements before arriving to the session. There are also no undercover areas, so please ensure appropriate clothing is worn for the weather conditions.

What if the weather isn’t great?

The training will be cancelled if the weather forecast predicts very wet, very windy or very hot weather, which present a health or safety risk. In this event, we will contact you at least 2 hours prior to the start time.
