🌙🚵 British Cycling Night Leader Award
Dates:
19th Nov - FOD

Take your mountain bike leadership beyond daylight hours with the British Cycling Night Leader Award.
Designed for qualified British Cycling Leaders, this award extends your existing leadership skills and remit, giving you the knowledge and confidence to safely lead groups in low-light and night-time environments.
Riding after dark brings a completely different dimension to mountain biking. Familiar trails feel different, navigation becomes more challenging and effective group management becomes even more important.
What You’ll Learn
Throughout the course, we’ll develop the additional skills required to plan and lead safe, enjoyable rides after dark, including:
- Night ride planning and preparation
- Lighting and visibility considerations
- Navigation in darkness
- Group management and communication
- Risk assessment and dynamic decision-making
- Emergency considerations at night
- Maintaining a safe and enjoyable experience for your riders
Who Is It For?
The Night Leader Award is ideal for existing British Cycling Leadership Award holders who want to broaden their leadership opportunities and confidently take groups out beyond daylight hours.
Whether you're leading for a club, school, outdoor centre, organisation or professionally, the award provides a valuable extension to your existing leadership qualification.
