Last weekend I had the pleasure of running the first 'Gearing Up Off Road' course for
Cycling Ireland. It's a new scheme designed to teach the basics of Mountain Biking to any beginners over 11 years old (under 11's are catered for by the Sprocket Rocket scheme). We trained up 14 coaches from various clubs and organisations to deliver the course to their members.

| 14 new trainers! |
Cycling Ireland share Rock and Ride's passion for teaching mountain bike skills and they are working really positively to move away from purely performance sport. If you are a club member or individual who would like to become a Gearing Up trainer, the next course is the weekend of 5th May in Wicklow/Limerick (to be confirmed). Contact Rachel Ormerod at Cycling Ireland for details.
