Riders, gain your rider award certificates by successfully completing cycling skills.

You will be challenged, but at the same time encouraged to successfully complete each skill.

There are 9 awards to gain:

The Rookies - Bronze, Silver, Gold

Boot Camp - Bronze, Silver, Gold

Academy - Bronze, Silver, Gold

How does it work

• Riders, you keep your own record sheet for each level.
• At club training sessions, we will usually cover one or more skill within the award levels.
• The coaches will tell you which skills you have completed, and can be signed off.
• When you have completed all the tasks in a group, you will receive your certificate.

How are skills assessed

Experienced Academy riders are expected to complete the tasks competently and confidently, demonstrating mastery of each task to a high level. The Academy Gold award is a real achievement.

The Rookies, being beginners and often much younger will be encouraged to complete the task, to a level appropriate for each rider. Gaining Rookie awards is about participation and gaining those all important basic skills.

Boot camp awards are to be earned with effort and determination, taking account of the age and overall ability of the rider. Each task does need to be fully completed.

What about older experienced riders now

Academy and Boot Camp level riders can collect their marks for the Rookies awards as well, to complete their set of awards.

BSCA Trix Awards

The TRIX awards are a set of cycling achievement awards by BSCA. We have incorporated the tasks into our awards, so you should be able to achieve those as well. There is a small cost to get the TRIX awards.
