This is a message from VCM member (and chiropractor should you need one) Glenn Duffy:
"Hi guys, I’m sending this recommendation for “pre-season training” as those who I recommended and have done this have had huge success and brilliant reviews.
I have been working with a coach Dominic Keohane (Dom) for approximately 18 months now- he has helped me in preparation for events and changes in life and work, I trust him whole-heartedly and have paid for all of our staff to see him for development work.
In a nutshell, he has a 1 day workshop called “Beyond Personal Best”, which focuses on how to train your mind for big events and how to “train mentally”. Isn’t it crazy that we put in so many saddle-hours but never stop to train our minds to get the performance we want???
He says "85% of success is achieved in the mind. Train it and experience more success more often" -Dom
80% of the people that attended the pilot workshop broke personal bests within a week. He teaches people why they are the way they are and gives them insight into what is influencing them before taking them through the four pillars of athletic success;
Commitment
Control
Concentration
Confidence
You'll leave with greater insights into how you can achieve your perceived optimum performance bring it to a new level. The next workshop is set to run in Reading on the 31st October, conveniently on a Sunday. It is an £65 to spend the day with one of the country’s top High Performance Coaches.
For more information and to book your place, send him an e-mail directly, let him know that I recommended the course to you and I'm sure he'll do his best to squeeze you in; dominic.keohane@gmail.com
This event is run in association with FK.UK -they have a pretty big membership so it gets filled quickly.
Big Hugs to anyone who can handle them, Glenn
Ps. No, I don’t get paid commission.
Pps. No, it isn’t run through the clinic - in fact we pay Dom for his time and still promote him for free, so he must be doing something right!!!"
Glenn recommends a bit of mental training
Track day - Calshot Nov 20th -Updated

Message from Andy Grant:
"Hello everyone
Due to much demand I have organised another track day, at Calshot this time - smaller track but just as much if not even more fun.
Session is three hours 5.30pm to 8.30pm on a Saturday evening 20th November.
Open to novices or even complete beginners through to experienced riders.Don't worry if you haven't ridden on the track before - we should have you riding round like a pro before the end of the session.
There is a maximum number of riders of 32 - this enables one group of 16 riders to be on the track at one time - while the other group recovers or gets instruction, Sessions last for about 20 minutes.
Cost will be hire of track plus instructor( £173) divided by number of riders- could be as low as £6 or 7 quid if we get maximum numbers but should be less than £15 just with the numbers that have already confirmed.
There are new hire bikes at Calshot so for those without a track bike the hire of a bike will be £9.00 these bikes have Look Keo pedals - if you do not have Keo shoeplates from your roadbike you will need to hire shoes with Keo plates at £3.50
for those who want more info about the track visit

I have already booked and paid for the track but won't know how much to charge you until the day - would like to pay Harry Jackson (our trainer) in cash if possible so some payments in cash on the day will be appreciated."
