Go Ride
This morning was felt much more wintery, leaves blowing and the threat of heavy rain showers; so it was good to see the usual bunch of keen riders arriving at Stocks Green.
Twenty two riders got stuck into our warm up activity of Pairs Limbo. We split the group into two; one group heading off site to tackle Col de Coldharbour and one group staying on site to continue working on some group riding skills and generally having fun, riding bikes and eating biscuits. The hard work on site was interrupted by an almighty rain storm that sent us running for cover and feeling glad we weren't on the ride out. We resorted to Bike I Spy while the shower passed over. The others returned just as we were signing out, they too had found some shelter but still looked rather soggy.
Next Week Saturday 14th November: Go Ride Racing - normal sign on and finish time.
Youth Ride
Seven riders signed on for Youth Ride today; we split into two groups but followed the same route, a new one called Nice & Simple, just under 20 miles and around 1000 ft of climbing. A steady climb from Hildenborough to the top of River Hill via Plaxtol made for a good workout but we were rewarded with a very long downhill stretch towards home (see Calvin it was all down hill home for a change). Great group riding from my group (Luke, Sophia, Ellen & Catriona), and a good show of bravery on the windy bridge down to Weald.
PowerPack at Cyclopark November 8th
KVK were out in force as usual at Power Pack; Ellen, Hope, Albert, Sophia, Izzy, Catriona, Nico, Hannah, Polly, Calvin & Ben. Damian even made it up on his bike to offer the riders moral support. Windy conditions made for some challenging riding on circuit F, but in true KVK style everyone seemed tired but happy by the end. We finished off the morning with jam doughnuts :-) Well done to everyone and congratulations to Ben, Nico & Albert for completing your first Power Pack session.
Next Power Pack Sunday December 6th - talk to me if you'd like to try it.
