Saturday 24th October Bedgbury Forest Single Track & Family Trail

Fourteen youngsters and assorted adults get ready to ride.

This is always a popular session but it was great to see a record number of riders turning up on a slightly miserable day.  Fourteen young riders with an assortment of mums and dads set off from the car park to tackle either the single track or family trail route.  Cayden's response when he saw the first hill was "my bike is not going up that hill", but he seemed to manage it anyway.

Bumped into this lot between sections

Michele was determined to try her new hybrid on the single track, so I led out the family trailers, some time since I've ridden this route and it brought back many happy memories of days spent here with Jacob & Polly (wonder if I still have that photo of Polly riding in her pyjama top and school shoes?).

We met up with the hard core at Louisa Lake for a quick break and a biscuit.  Fortunately neither Betsy, Cayden or Thomas slipped under the sign so before long we were back on our way and heading for the playground.

What a great morning of riding; Well done to Ben, Joel and Lucy who all tackled the single track for the first time, but especially Michele who did it on her hybrid.  Cayden, Serena, Thomas and Betsy, thanks for giving me the chance to climb the butterfly climbing wall.  Polly, Ellen, Toni, Luke, Calvin, Albert & Catriona excellent riding as usual.  Looking forward to next time already.

Next Week: No sessions 31st October, see you again at Stocks Green on the 7th November.
