Places To Ride
Building skills and confidence by delivering fun coaching sessions
Happy Christmas
from the Southend Wheelers Club Coaches
The Southend Wheelers coaching team would like to thank all the youth riders for their support and participation during 2024, and to extend our thanks to all the parents who have taken the time to support their children throughout our year-long coaching programme.
We wish all of you a very merry Christmas and happy new year.
Looking ahead
In January we are looking at running some coach led off-road rides (weather permitting) and in the spring half term holidays when we will be back at Garon Park, starting on 15th Feb. So, keep an eye out for our emails and advertising.

Open to all
16 years old or younger? You can join us
Our sessions are aimed at young riders, aged 16 years and under who can already ride a bike and are looking to develop their skills on the bike.
All you need is a road worthy bike, helmet and suitable clothing for the weather on the day.
Upcoming sessions
We are now planning our 2025 programme
Look out for the next half term sessions between 15-23 February
Beyond the sessions
What happens afterwards?
After you have attended our coaching sessions, we hope to have done enough to see you again in future sessions but for those who want a bit more, you can join the Club (and British Cycling) for free. Email here for further details. Seven youth riders have recently accepted this free offer.
By joining the Wheelers, you will get access to the clubs resources and events throughout the year no matter what your interests on the bike are. The attached "Whats next" document gives you an idea of what is available.
