Ride Out and Go-ride Saturday 16th February

Having spent all last weekend on a course it was a real treat to get out on a ride with the KVK this morning.  Five riders and a couple of parents joined me on the now legendary Col de Coldharbour, still very muddy in places but at least there was no snow.  We added a couple of bits, including a section of bridlepath across the Shipbourne Road, this made our total ride 7.4 miles and a riding time of 57 minutes. 

Stopping for a biscuit or two.


Warm enough to show off our club shirts

After lunch thirteen riders met up at Stocks Green for a coached session.  Our goal for the afternoon was to get everyone riding confidently next to other riders and making physical contact without falling off. Not everyone believed this was possible but everyone had been successful by the end of the afternoon.  We finished off with a game of Jail Break, all I can say is there were alot of escaped prisoners. 

Some of the children were able to try out our two new club road bikes.  They all seemed pleased with the speed and handling of these handsome additions to the fleet.  Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos.
