  • Details

This session is for children aged 10-16 who ride the track at intermediate level.

Rollers are great for balance, leg speed, pedalling smoothness, coordination, and fitness, and are a useful training tool over winter to hone your skills and gain extra speed without being out in the cold! 

Rollers sessions will teach you to be self-sufficient in setting up rollers to fit your bike, and how to use them as an effective training tool, for winter fitness but also for pre-race warm-ups in the summer. Parents are welcome to help younger riders get the rollers set up and packed down, but riders 12+ should learn how to do this themselves.

As well as skills and drills we will also spend part of the session playing games whilst on the rollers, which is fun but also great for balance and coordination!

First-time or beginner rollers riders are welcome, but please arrive in plenty of time to learn how to get set up and how to get your bike started on the rollers.

  • This session will take place in the clubhouse or in the container area
  • The session lasts 1 hour. Own bike with cleat-based foot retention recommended, but free bike hire available if necessary.
  • Lycra is recommended, and we recommend that you wear a thin base layer as winter jerseys can be too hot for rollers.
  • Bring layers and a warm jacket for after. Remember to bring water and a snack.
  • Please arrive 15 minutes before the session start time to set yourself up with some rollers and be ready to ride, to ensure that the session can start promptly. Coaches will be on hand to help if you haven't set up rollers before.
  • Please note that it is not possible for latecomers to join in.
