Road Cycling Clinics

Cogs Girls was originally formed by Cycling Victoria to introduce women to road cycling in a friendly safe environment. The majority of women who join or just come along are beginners and as they become more experience and or faster, they move onto more experienced groups and there are plenty we can introduce you to. I am glad to see that many hang around a bit longer to help mentor the beginners.  

The skills sessions on Saturday morning are totally focused on those starting out and after about 3-12 months (depending on how much you ride) you too will be able to fly with almost any group but do it with style and pride. The sessions are very rich in technique, we cater for different abilities which means you can join in with little to no fitness. We stop a lot and do activities so you you feel you are slow, you will not feel as you are slowing the group plus all participants are very supportive of each other.

The sessions often include coaching on safety and safe conduct in bunches, climbing, smooth riding technique, cornering etc etc. Basically all the building blocks and secrets to success will be covered until your ready for bigger and better things. If you wish to join the group, you can register on the Yahoo Groups site. After joining you will be able receive all emails about the groups activities. You can register here . You can use your own email address or set up a Yahoo free email account. The account is a little difficult to set up but worth it. After the session, we have the obligatory coffee at a chosen cafe.
