Now booking: a day cycling with Roger Hammond

If you fancy learning from a legend of British cycling, get down to Cadence Cycling Performance Centre on Friday for a training tips session and ride out with Roger Hammond.

Third in Paris-Roubaix back in 2004, Hammond rode for Discovery Channel in 2005 and 2006, Team High Road in 2007–2008, Cervélo TestTeam in 2009–2010, and Garmin-Cervélo in 2011. He will be answering questions about his time in pro cycling over a cup of tea in the morning, before leading a turbo trainer demo and handing out training tips.

After lunch, load up with energy products courtesy of Cadence and head out into the Kent lanes for a few hours with Roger to put it all into practice, then back home for a hard-earned tea and debrief.

As a former team-mate of Mark Cavendish, Roger is considered one of the best bike handlers in the country, with a career that saw him win stages of the Tour of Britain and twice take the UK road race championship.

The day costs £170 and is based out of Cadence HQ in Crystal Palace.
