Four of our young riders tackled the Col de Mote this morning, we found a cool shady patch of grass to recover on at the top. Road re-surfacing meant we had the top loop to ourselves before we headed back for the descent and back to Stocks Green. Back at school riders tested the propulsion properties of their water bottles.
Well done to Luke for his first ascent of Col de Mote.

Later that afternoon we headed down to the school to set out a mountain bike course using all the equipment we have. Starting on the field the course headed towards the north end through the trees, then into and out of the willow shelter. Further down the field a set of tight bends preceded a turn before the adventure play equipment where Jacob had created a chicane section. Finally riders were guided around the tyres and back to the start.
After a couple of warm up laps, we ran three events on the course, an individual time trial, a mass start race and a handicap race. All the riders did amazingly with a good range of podium positions.
Pictures to follow.
