Youth Ride - Underriver & Carters Hill
Intrepid riders Hannah, Calvin, Ellen & Luke headed out on Saturday morning on our easy Underriver loop.  However, they do like a challenge so we took a slight detour up Carters Hill.  As usual they pulled out all the stops and did their best reaching various points non-stop before tackling the hairy descent. Calvin had a chance to put his skills from the puncture repair workshop into practice and everyone displayed amazing strength both mental and physical throughout the ride.  As ever we were treated to a little sleet shower on the way home.  Rider of the week goes to Luke for a great climb (all the way to the top) and a very brave descent.

Go Ride - Balancing & Slow Riding
There was a great turnout for this afternoon's Go Ride session which focussed on balance and slow riding in preparation for our trip to Herne Hill next weekend.

Our intro activity had riders leaning into a wall without putting their foot down before trying the same thing with a partner. This is a tricky skill but it does come with practise and trust in your partner!


We split into groups and worked on slow riding skills, with some riders progressing onto track stands.  We finished off the session with some impressive riding in groups of six through a tight obstacle course.  An activity that required skillful, controlled riding from everyone.  Well done to everyone who took part, great riding.

Next week:  Herne Hill track session 1 - 3pm (session starts at 1.30pm please arrive in good time). 

Saturday 22nd February: Go Ride Racing Stocks Green 12.45pm - 3pm (PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME) Non members are free to join us for this event.
