Go Ride - Col de Coldharbour
Lots of people turned up, so we split into two groups. The first group headed off with Kary, Chris and Tom, and our grouped followed with Malcolm leading. After pacing it around the original Col de Coldharbour loop, we decided to go down to the BMX track in Westwood. We rode around it a few times, then Malcolm came up with a challenge. It was a race to try and get air on the 4th jump. Toni steps straight up to the challenge and completes it effortlessly! Not having much time left we did some timed laps of the course. Kary's group then came past and wanted to have a go so we had a few more goes and then headed back. A very fun afternoon! (Polly)

Go Ride - Quick Start
The first of our latest series of quick start sessions went ahead today with a lively group of eleven riders. The first part of the session focused on mounting and moving off and then we moved on to controlling our speed and braking to a stop. These may sound like basic skills, and to an extent they are, but they are also essential for safe riding and for developing more advanced skills. Great progress was made throughout the session and by end all riders were obviously much more aware of what was happening in front of them and able to adjust their speed accordingly and almost all feet were being used for pedalling and not braking. We finished with a game of limbo. (Damian)
