Saturday 17th May - Tonbridge to Penshurst Ride Out

Another sunny day and perfect conditions for a bike ride.  We were joined for the first time by Freya and Sammy from our recent Quick Start programme.  We set off at a moderate pace, most of the older riders were at Cyclopark yesterday evening so it was a miracle that they were out of bed, let alone turning their legs over.  We took advantage of a brief stop at Barden Lake for some track stand practise before moving on and tackling the width restrictors further along the path;

 Sammy and Freya put the 'Big Wheels' to shame as they glided effortlessly through the obstacles.  We all made it to the bottom of the concrete road before our 45 minute cut off, despite me offering a get out option on the hill climb everyone set off enthusiastically.  Seriously big respect to our younger riders; Freya made it to the top without even using all her gears, whilst Sammy reached the summit on her single speed bike.  Jelly babies all round before a cautious descent and pacey return to Tonbridge park.  No incidents or puntures and we made it back before 11.30am.

Great riding from eveyone and many thanks to our adult riders.
