Saturday 10th May

Youth Ride - We decided to tackle the same route as last week on this Saturday's Youth Ride.  So back down to Seal we went, but this time a couple of us hit a nasty pothole and ended up repairing punctures.  Definitely rode more smoothly though, and improved our average moving speed to 12.9mph.

Look busy, two punctures to fix!

Not sure whether Hannah is laughing or crying, that white bar tape is very muddy.

No worries, Dad will sort my puncture out.

Go Ride - Ten riders joined us for our coached session in the afternoon.  We focussed on group riding skills, with lots of close riding and contact with other riders.  We progressed onto a game of "Jail Break" where four riders enclose a fifth rider and try to prevent them from escaping.  The young prisoners were better at escaping but I suspect that is because the old jailers are such seasoned pro's!!

Sessions Next Week Saturday 17th May:

Penshurst Trail Ride: Contact me to sign on. Meet 9.45pm park side of the wooden bridge at Tonbridge Park.  We will aim to be back by 11.30am.  Please bring a drink, pocket snack & waterproof jacket. Make sure you are carrying a spare inner tube, I will have tools and a pump for younger riders.  

There will not be an afternoon Go Ride session.
