The East Bradford Cycling Club Youth Development Squad has been established to take riders aged 14 and above to the next level in their cycling. Sitting above the Kids Saturday Bike Club, the development squad riders are provided with free advanced training to include access to Level 3 one to one training with bespoke training plans designed individually for each rider on the squad. In addition, there is advanced training sessions and additional support as needed from our coaches Mandy Parker, Joe Parker and Rose Lees. We cover the following Cycling disciplines:

I started cycling with Kids Saturday Bike Club in September 2013 aged 8. My first race was an U10 cyclo-cross at Ilkley in October 2014 and I absolutely loved it. I also love circuit racing especially town centre races such as Barnsley and Doncaster. My dream is to eventually get a pro contract so I never have to have a proper job!
