Ride Leader Training Courses

Following the success of the 2007 Ride Leader Training Course held on 5 May, Bicycle NSW will be planning more courses for 2007. The aim of the Ride Leader Training course is to increase levels of knowledge and skill in leading recreational rides. By increasing the level of knowledge and skill among a greater number of Ride Leaders, Bicycle NSW - consistent with our Mission – seeks to encourage more members of our community to enjoy the benefits of cycling through:

Better organised rides – more satisfaction for participants

Better planned rides – improved levels of safety for participants

Better conducted rides – reduced levels of risk for participants and organisers

The courses are provided free of charge to Bicycle NSW members and includes morning and afternoon tea and lunch. Assessment includes both practical and theory on the day and some pre-course work.

To register your interest in the course, please contact Russell Jones on email russelj@bicyclensw.org.au or phone 9218 5452.
