Summer Mentor Programme
Overview
Our Summer Mentor Programme is designed to get you ready for the future you want. You’ll have the opportunity to gain experience in the Cycling Industry, connect with professionals and gain qualifications over an 8 week period.
You’ll be matched with a mentor and meet on a weekly basis to discuss your goals and aspirations, then you’ll take part in various workshops, ran by industry experts, covering bike repair to physiotherapy. It isn’t all work though, you’ll also get a chance to try out Track Cycling, BMX and Mountain Biking, and we will help you build up your fitness on the bike so that you can take part in the Brixton to Brighton ride at the end of the Summer.
