We split into two groups and tackled two versions of a simple route that took us out to Plaxtol and then back via Ightham Mote with a small diversion down to and back up from Seal for some. Well done to everybody who rode:
- The tired legs from Friday night (racing not dancing;-)) Hannah, Toni, Ellen, Polly & Hope
- Reluctant climber Luke
- Recently returned from injury Nico
- Newest addition Ben
- Longest serving rider Calvin (with fresh legs)
Sadly I seem to have go out of the habit of taking photos so you will just have to imagine what they looked like.(Kary)
Go-Ride
With the quick starters on the school playground and a number of the more senior riders recovering from Friday night racing, we had a select group of riders tackle the Col de Coldharbour, including Tia who took on the challenge for the first time. With the sun out, the ascent was hot work, but sustained by Haribo's everyone made it to the top and enjoyed the spin through the woods and the charge into the bumpy field. Having checked nobody's teeth had been rattled out by the bumps we headed back to Stocks Green, stopping for a few goes on the pump track at West Wood before finishing the session with a game or two of sardines. Great riding Bailey, Nico, Harry and Tia. (Damian).
Quick Start
A great turnout for Quick Start with fourteen riders taking part in our coached session. The main focus of the session was turning and by the end of the session most of the riders had picked up the key points needed to make good accurate turns. We interspersed the coaching with some laps of the field helped by our young volunteers Tom and Hannah. We finished off the session with some mounting/dismounting races and of course a few games of sardines. Looking forward to seeing you all again next week when we will be working on riding close to other riders. (Kary)
