The Cycling Program is run in partnership with Cycling NSW and is sponsored by the Goulburn Soldiers Club.
Program coach Graeme Northey, put the athletes through a series of sprint training techniques on day one with new scholarship holder Dana Riddle having her first ride on a track surface. The five riders were guided through standing starts, flying 200’s, a time trial and sprint racing tactics. Last year’s NSW representative Tasmin Davies looks set to push for more honours during the state championships later this month.
On day two the riders participated in endurance training sessions including pursuit starts and race lines before discussing scratch racing and tactics with Graeme.
The camp concluded with a number of standing starts with equipment and facilities only available to the athletes in Sydney.
Squad members in the SERAS Cycling Program for 2015 include: Tasmin Davies (Crookwell); Callum Emmerton (Goulburn); Riley Fleming (Goulburn); Dana Riddle (Manton); Zachery St Vincent (Goulburn); and Tamika Wallace (Goulburn).
