Welcome to cycling at Baradene for 2010!
Cycling continues to grow as a popular activity and competitive sport in general, and Baradene is certainly following that trend as the numbers in the school cycle club continues to climb. There is a proud tradition of excellence already established at the school with past and present students having claimed multiple national titles. As the strength of the club grows we are now also in a good position to push on and challenge for Teams titles at the various School championships held during the year.
For 2010 the club has set some ambitious targets and is seeking to establish itself as a leading force in Secondary School cycling. With the services of Paul Leitch, a former Commonwealth and Olympic games cyclist, as Head Coach along with a group of enthusiastic and dedicated parents to assist in coaching, admin and general support roles, the club is developing a great culture for having fun, developing skills and reaching potential in a demanding but highly enjoyable sport.
The various trips away to regional and national events, plus camps during the year ensure a great variety of activity with lifelong memories quickly developing. The club openly welcomes new riders and we would love to see you along for Spin classes, training rides and/or Team Time Trial racing.
We are fortunate this year to have Kelly de Charmoy as the Club captain, so if you are interested in joining the Baradene cycling team or want to know any further information, please contact Kelly or Mrs Belinda Law (Sports Manager responsible for cycling).
