Women’s Hour (Cycling)
Women’s Hour aim to develop a community of women cyclists. The sessions are designed to develop a skill, have fun, and get a workout. Sessions are led by fully qualified cycling coaches. You don’t need to be a member of the West Lothian Clarion cycling club to come along to Women’s Hour. There are three groups at Women’s Hour.
Group 1: 6.30-7.30pm. Free session to boost confidence and encourage women onto bikes. This session is ideal for people getting their bikes out of the shed for the first time in a while
Group 2: Monday 7.30-8.30pm. £4 per session. Focused on developing group riding skills. You will already ride a bit and want to go further, faster and gain fitness.
Group 3: Monday 7.30-8.30pm. £4 per session. A bit like an outdoor spin class, for those who can confidently ride in a group. You will ride regularly and be looking to get a work out in a group.
