Ride Leader Courses Terms & Conditions

Sky Ride Leadership Award Course- Terms and Conditions

Background Information

British Cycling and SKY are working in partnership to deliver the Sky Ride programme. This involves a number of cities who provide mass participation events (Sky Ride City) on a closed road and/or traffic free route in the summer.

Supporting these events are a whole series of Sky Ride Locals, led by British Cycling qualified Sky Ride Leaders, with the aim of increasing participation in cycling and also enhancing the number of people within the mass participation event. Sky Ride Local rides are mainly delivered on Sundays from May through to October. Sometimes led rides could be other days of the week. The rides will take place on a mix of traffic free routes and quiet public roads depending on the level of ride.

An employment contract will be issued to Ride Leaders to cover the particulars around leader availability and payment for the Sky Ride Leaders. Information on the led ride routes, location dates and times in all participating cities will be made available to Ride Leaders as soon as they are confirmed
