Cycloween Races 28th October 2012



Congratulations to Toni, Fergus and Polly who all took part in the Cycloween races at Cyclopark yesterday.  It was an interesting morning and we learnt alot about youth racing, cornering and pre-race nutrition.  Official results were not available on the day but we suspect at least one podium finish and a couple of other "firsts" for different aspects of cycling.  Well done guys, you were GREAT.

Bedgbury Ride Out - 27th October 2012

Twelve intrepid riders braved the first chilly weather of winter for a ride in the forest.  We tackled the 6 mile family trail at a steady pace and all agreed that the hills proved a challenge for even the fittest riders.  One of our parent riders admitted to not having ridden a bike since 1986, but kept smiling anyway.


We all piled into the cafe for coffee and hot chocolate where we met a couple of late arrivals who'd missed the rendez vous but still enjoyed a ride.

Next session: 3/11/12 Go Ride at Stocks Green, sign on 1.45pm for 2pm start.

Go-Ride at Stocks Green 20th October 2012

It felt like the only day this week that it hadn't rained so it was good to get out and spin the legs.  18 riders took part in the session where we focussed on riding close to other riders.  Our new members worked hard and made some big improvements.  Older riders got the chance to get some tips from Luke Anderson from BC who joined us for the afternoon.  Luke also brought us a box of goodies that we've been awarded for our participation in the Go Ride Games during the summer holidays.

Next session: Ride Out at Bedgbury, Saturday 27th October.  Meet 10am at the visitor centre. Parent riders welcome.  Please note there is no charge for this session but parking at Bedgbury is £8.50.
