Tomorrows session is now full - if you haven't registered but turn up anyway you will not get a ride - the club coaches have to adhere to strict coach:rider ratios for insurance purposes. |

The club thinks it appropriate to remind members that whilst social media is generally a good thing it does it come with responsibilities and that there is the potential for misinterpretation.
The clubs view with regards to social media is simple:
If you wouldn’t want someone saying it to you, then you shouldn’t say it to anyone else
If you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face, then don’t post it.
British Cycling has also asked us to remind club members of their obligation to ensure their behaviour, at races, club events, online etc. is in accordance with the British Cycling Code of Conduct. Failure to do so could lead to disciplinary action being taken.

WHO
The road and track session is an open training session and available to all Juniors and seniors and Welwyn Academy Riders. If you are not racing regularly or are not used to riding on a wheel or within a bunch this probably is not for you! If you are not sure please give me a call, I would like to encourage as many riders as possible to join these race training sessions. If there is sufficient interest I may be able to arrange additional support to enable a second group.
WHAT
The session is aimed at improving road race skills and fitness.

The first meeting of this years Track League is on FRIDAY 26th April starting at 7:15 pm. There will be the usual series of races for the Three Youth groups and the Two Senior groups. We hope to start track training sessions on track bikes on Monday 8th April (7:00 to 9:00 pm) and there will be additional training sessions on Friday 12th and 19th April (7:00 to 9:00 pm) to give track league riders extra opportunities to get some track time before the league gets under way on the 26th.
A Track League Registration form must be completed by ALL riders before they are permitted to race in this years Track League – please complete this form and send it to me with the Registration fee or bring it along to any of the training sessions.
Hopefully we will have much better weather compared to the rain affected series in 2012. See you on the 26th April if not before.

 On Sunday 10 March, in the Howard Shopping Centre, Welwyn Garden City, a group of Youth Riders from Welwyn Wheelers, between the ages of 9 and 15 years of age, took part in a sponsored roller challenge for Comic Relief. Their challenge was to collectively complete 750 miles, with a maximum of 10 riders, riding on Rollers at any one time.
The event was organised by youth members, Kathryn Anderson, Rebecca Maynard and Sophie Scott with the help of our club coach, Francis Gallacher. It was planned that everyone would be at the Howard centre by 9am to prepare and set up for the challenge, starting at 10am. Our Welwyn gazebo was set up along with the big Welwyn flags so that no one could possibly miss something was going on! A large mileage board was set up to record everyone’s efforts during the four hour challenge. Each bike was fitted with a computer to record each individual’s total mileage. |
