Pedal Performance Coaching has recently signed the newly formed club based cycling team, Twick Chicks.
With the rise of women’s racing we think its important to keep riders in the supportive environment of a cycling club rather than lose them to a sponsored team. At Twickenham CC the team will have access to a range of coaches & advice from track, road racing, CX & TT specialists plus a Physio & Bike Mechanic.
The Twickenham Cycling Club is heralded as ‘the oldest club in Twickenham’ and when formed in 1893 the Club was ‘founded with the primary objective of promoting both social and competitive events’. This objective has always been executed to its best ability according to circumstances throughout the Club’s 115 year history and perhaps this last sentence is the real force behind the Club.
Members’ life styles and aspirations have constantly changed from decade to decade and generation to generation and the Club is very sensitive to this. It strives to alter its priorities according to the needs of its Members, although never losing sight of encouraging cycling as a competitive sport.
The Club has several coaches to whom Members can turn to for help and during the dark winter months, on Club night additional training is provided via coached turbo sessions held at the Clubroom – useful not just for the racing cyclist but for those who are keen to do challenge events (for example – the London to Brighton bike ride).
