A town council spokesperson said: “Those not wishing to be coached, can drop along between 10.30am-4pm and enjoy the use of the track alongside music offered by DJ Matt.

“All attendees are asked to wear long trousers and a suitable helmet and will not be able to take part without them. They must also bring their own bike with pedals (no balance bikes) and must be a confident rider. Anyone in school year 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session, but any young people of secondary school age may attend alone.”

Burgess Hill Town Council thanked Burgess Hill District Lions for funding this event.
