Please bring weather appropriate clothing to the session. We encourage gloves/warm zipped up jackets in cold weather and waterproof clothing in case it rains. For colder days we encourage warm layers and gloves. For sunny days please bring sun cream and light layers for sun protection as well as plenty of water. Please note due to the nature of these sessions they will be weather dependant and should the winds/rain be very strong on the day causing a hazard coaches will decide whether or not the session is safe to go ahead. If coaches judge the weather to be unsafe to ride in, parents will be informed 2 hours before and payment can be re-used for another course or refunded.
