New 'Bike Like Me' Training Programme Launched


Cycling Ireland's popular 'Bike Like Me' training programme has been expanded after a successful 2020 edition which saw over 800 women participate.

Cycling Ireland is excited to offer four programmes for women and girls, catering for beginner and intermediate riders. The programmes have been designed by Cycling Ireland Coach, Jamie Blanchfield of Premier Endurance and will run for 8-weeks.

Each Zoom session will be led by an inspirational leader to keep participants motivated and entertained along the way. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout the online Zoom sessions. All live Zoom sessions will be recorded, so there's no need to worry if you miss one, a link will be sent out the following day so you can catch up. 

All you need to participate is: 
- A set of rollers or a turbo trainer.
- A laptop/ enabled desktop/ tablet or phone that can access Zoom. You will also need to register for Zoom.
