Go-Ride is British Cycling’s Club Development Programme aimed at improving both young riders and clubs. It focuses on volunteers and young members – improving coaching standards and increasing the number of young riders with access to coaching activities. Go-Ride supports the creation of school-club links, which helps provide clubs with a constant influx of new young members and helps everyone work towards our shared vision of more young people, more active, more often in cycling. The success of Go-Ride is dependent upon partnerships between British Cycling, clubs, schools, local authorities and voluntary organisations.

The Great North Swim, the biggest open water mass participation swimming event in Britain will take place on 12th and 13th September and will be staged on the shores of Lake Windermere at Low Wood. The event, over a distance of one mile, is first of its kind in the UK. Taking its inspiration from the Bupa Great North Run, the Great North Swim uses the formula of a mass participation event providing a challenge for which the participant can train and prepare. Because of the demand last year, organisers Nova International have created a two day event for 2009, a decision which has been welcomed by swimmers and location partners. It provides an opportunity to encourage swimmers from all over the U.K. to the region.
