Saturday 25th January

We kicked off the weekend with a road route for our young riders.  Growing numbers mean that we are able to ride in two groups which gives us both flexibility and competition!  We clocked up about 16.5 miles, my group got 3 punctures whilst Sarah and Viv got away with none.  With Damian away on his coaching course there was nothing for it but to fix them ourselves.  Good job we had done our workshop last weekend.  Well done to everyone who rode, please remember to wash your bikes and check your tyres and brakes as current weather conditions cause lots of wear and tear.

First youth ride puncture

Rider of the week goes to Ellen for speedy climbing.

For our first Go Ride session of the year we focussed on moving with our bikes in different ways.  Those new to Go Ride got a master class in scooting and saddle push from some of our the old hands, but were holding their own by the end of the session.  Lots of team relays further honed these skills and we finished off with a couple of games of Sumo.
