PEDAL 2 Pedal Cycle Club, which is based at Petersfield, is running off-road mountain bike camps for children.

The club, which was established by cross country mountain bike racer and coach Hannah Attenburrow, caters for cyclists of all ages and abilities.

Pedal 2 Pedal offers a mixture of junior cycling courses aimed at getting children riding safely and confidently.

For children who are interested in riding off-road Pedal 2 Pedal offers mountain bike camps for riders aged between five and 12 years old.

These camps aim to develop mountain bike techniques like riding on uneven surfaces, cornering, braking effectively and dealing with obstacles.

The course is suitable for young riders who have already got a little experience riding off-road on tracks, forest paths and fields.

Courses are running in May, June, July and August.

Club nights are every Monday and Tuesday during term time, with added holiday programs for riders who wish to stay active during the holidays.

Hannah said: “I decided to start coaching because I wanted to help inspire more people to try mountain biking.

“Cycling is a fantastic sport as it improves your health, fitness, can be used to get you form a to b and the best thing is you can go to some stunning parts of the country which you can’t reach by car and that take a long time to reach by foot.

“The joy of mountain biking to me is being out in the countryside having a great adventure.”
