๐ MANILLA MONDAYS START TOMORROW!
Tomorrow evening sees the soft launch of our brand-new Monday coaching nights at Middlesbrough Velodrome and the beginning of the next chapter for Manilla Cycling.
Weโve created Mondays to provide a clear next step from our Saturday Community Club, giving younger riders somewhere to progress and our older competitive riders a proper environment to train, develop and spend time together.
โญ 6:00โ7:00pm โ FUTURE STARS
Two groups for our younger developing riders, approximately 7โ11 years:
๐ด Future Stars Track
๐ณ Future Stars Off Road (cyclocross / MTB)
Fun, skills, confidence and progression, providing that important bridge between our Saturday sessions and performance cycling.
๐ฅ 7:00โ8:30pm โ MANILLA PERFORMANCE GROUP
For Youth 12+, Juniors and Seniors who want to take their cycling further.
Weโll aim to use the track whenever conditions allow, with sessions including skills, race preparation, practice racing, Derny pacing, tactical work and structured training.
And because we now have the whole Middlesbrough Velodrome site available to us, bad weather doesnโt mean cancelled training!
If the track is wet, weโll switch to alternative sessions including Wattbikes, circuits, cross-training and other performance work.
Weโre also really pleased to have Dr Phil Smith โ Sport Scientist supporting the programme, bringing additional sport science, testing and performance advice to our riders.
โ And weโre taking over Cafe Velo and the clubhouse for Monday evenings too, so parents can grab a drink, stay around, chat and become part of the atmosphere.
The idea is to make Monday nights about much more than turning up, riding your bike and going home.
Training. Coaching. Testing. Team meetings. Workshops. Parents. Riders. Coaches. One club together.
Tomorrow is only our soft launchโฆ

Then save the date for Monday 21st September, when weโll hold our full Manilla Performance Hub Launch & Presentation Evening in the Velodrome Clubhouse and explain much more about our plans for riders and the club.
๐ฒ Tomorrowโs sessions are now available to book on TeamUp.
