Pimp My Bike - Riders Pull Out All The Stops (and Tinsel!!!)

Sixteen young riders joined forces on Saturday 15th December and took the Tonbridge to Penshurst cycle trail by storm. Tinsel, baubles, lights, bells, beards and hats, no Christmas theme was left untouched. Our ride took us along the trail as far as the Leigh Road where we judged the bikes. 

All the decorated bikes were fantastic, so well done for spending the time and effort to make this a special ride.  There certainly were a few puzzled stares from passers by.

1st  - for his amazing handlebar mounted tree and large santa beard
2nd Toni - for her carefully colour matched theme
3rd Charlie - overall Christmasiness

We raced back to Tonbridge, where it was chocolate all round.  Happy Christmas to all our riders, parents and helpers, thanks for making 2012 a great year for Kent Velo Kids - Look forward to seeing you all in 2013



Still smiling even after some very deep puddles!

 

 

Last of the Go Ride Games Medals

Our last coached session of the year featured loads of skills and culminated in a skills TT and of course a limbo knockout competition.  All the scooting practice paid off in the limbo which saw most of the riders off their saddles and crouched low down beside their bikes. Medals all round for Ashley, Luke and Sam in the U10's and Victoria, Shona, Polly & Toni in the Over 10's.

Chilly But Fun!!

Eight young riders and a selection of parents met at Tonbridge park on Saturday 1st December for a steady ride along the cycle path to Penshurst. The group split at Penshurst, one group tackled the hill, while the other raced back to Tonbridge chased by the second group.  We all arrived back at the park together and compared frozen extremities!! 

Next coached session: 8/12/2012, Stocks Green.
Next ride out: Pimp my bike Christmas ride 15/12/12. Meet at Tonbridge Park 10am by the wooden bridge
