Anyone can join in the Skills group straight away but in order to take part in the Roadies Group, children must
have passed the clubs Bronze + Skills Test. Once passed, children can move freely from skills to roadies and vice versa. Roadies is not a progressions from skills, just a choice for children to take part in depending on what they enjoy. The roadie sessions are at the Hammerstones Cycle Circuit ,Hammerstones Rd, Elland HX5 0QP. These sessions are going to be at different times due to other users of the circuit.
