Two editions now. August 2025. May 2026. Each one had two sessions on the Lee Valley road circuit. Handling, then race craft. Each building towards The London Academy GP.
Session one was bike handling. Close contact. Cornering. Positioning. Group riding. The skills that make you safe and confident in a bunch. Session two was race craft. Pacelines. Surges. Attacking. Bridging. Tactical riding at speed.
Time off the bike either side of the circuit work. The theory behind racing. Race preparation. Routines. What to expect on the start line. Q&A. Everything that helps it all make sense before you pin a number on.
