An exciting opportunity to gear up your cycle skills and learn from a British and European champion takes off at Pencester Skate Park, Dover from Tuesday, 2 March.

Dover resident James Sheridan, current UCI British Cycle Trials Elite 20” class champion and European Cup winner, is leading a series of free drop-in skills sessions at the Dover skate park. The series of two hour sessions is taking place at the park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm-7pm throughout March. Further sessions are due to be arranged throughout the year. The sessions are for all ages and abilities.

The skate park in Pencester Gardens was launched in March 2007 following an exciting upgrade of skateboard, BMX and in-line skating facilities. These latest sessions follow a number of events at the skate park, including the skate and ride event in April 2009.

The exciting new drop-in sessions are being delivered by local company PACE Development, on behalf of Dover District Council. The sessions are being funded by Barclays Spaces for Sport, which is administered by the Football Foundation.

For more information, please contact Dover District Council on (01304) 872448 or PACE Development on 07836 388458.
