Coaching

Today I was fortunate enough to introduce a new rider to the sport and watch him from never riding on the velodrome to completing a proper warm-up, standing starts and a 500m tt. I enjoyed the coaching role and am looking forward to the next session.

Contact me on jaco@trackcyclingsa.co.za if you want to ride at the Bellville velodrome under my guidance. I have a bike available if you want to try out the experience without buying a track bike.

December blog

South Africa seems to be a popular cycling destination. I've recently been contacted by Scandinavians and Australians that want to train in the Cape. Furthermore the medal winning World Cup German track cycling squad will be training in Cape Town from 5 January onwards.
