A taster day caters for both those that own a handcycle and those who are new to the sport. The Saturday consists of a general coaching session, which is taken by qualified British Cycling Coaches and offers a real insight into how to train for cycling. The June taster day is held on the same weekend as the Tour De Vale cycle sportive, and those attending the taster day have the option to borrow a handcycle on the Sunday, to ride the 25km, 60km or 100km sportive, which starts and finishes at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.
A taster day starts at 10am with those without their own handcycles arrival by 09:30am for handcycle fitting, with a lunch break followed by an afternoon session. For those who’d like prefer to stay overnight Saturday, we usually head out for a social meal – you will have earned it!
