Sara wants to give back what she has learnt through her professional cycling career and experiences to help coach others achieve their goals. Sara founded the Sara Carrigan Cycling school with the aim of helping those to enjoy riding their bike and to experience the wonders that come with it. Sara is based on the Gold Coast in QLD and has designed various programs to cater for beginners and advanced with bunch rides, cycling skill courses, and cycling coaching etc. Below are some of the programs currently running.
1. CYCLING SKILLS
The goal of the cycling skills program is to educate and instil bike confidence, safety and comfortableness by teaching specific bike handling skills. The Skills Course starts on a traffic-free circuit at the Nerang Cycling Centre on the Gold Coast QLD and has a specific focus covering the vital skills and techniques such as bike handling, cornering, braking, gear selection, cadence, bike posture, bunch riding, hill climbing and road safety etc.
The main aim is to ensure that each person can learn as much as they can out of each session so the program is capped at minimum numbers and divided into three parts: 1) the Skills Course, 2) 4weeks of developing fitness, endurance, road skills & bunch riding skills through structured on‐road sessions, and 3) A structured wind-trainer/ergo Training Program.

2. GO for GOLD CYCLING BUNCH
This cycling bunch program generally follows on from the skills course for most riders. However, it is not necessary to complete the skills course to be a part of the Go for Gold cycling program if riders already feel some level of confidence in their ability. The aim of the ‘Go for GOLD Cycling Bunch’ is to provide a safe, fun and social atmosphere in which to enjoy bike riding and increase your bunch riding skills while also being able to challenge yourself!
Based on the Gold Coast QLD, the goal of the ‘Go for Gold Cycling Bunch’ is to offer cyclists a positive bunch ride experience, to present an opportunity to overcome fears, to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, to meet like-minded people, and to have a great time! The program is all about education, challenges, enjoyment and safety with the choice of a beginner cycling bunch on Thursday and an Intermediate cycling bunch on Tuesday. The program creates a pathway for anybody to advance their cycling from beginner to an elite level of cyclist with various bunches and programs to facilitate this advancement. The structured bunch rides are varied each week to encompass different loops, hills and challenges.
