Saturday 14th January - Go Ride

Against all odds we managed to run our Go Ride session as normal on Saturday.  Thanks to Ellen for the write up and James for the pictures:

Sardines in full flow

On Saturday we had the first Go-ride of 2017.  12 riders came along to the session despite the cold and slightly snowy conditions!  The riders started off with riding around the field and doing an off bike warm up including star jumps and burpees. The focus of the session was slow riding so to begin everyone found a partner and had a slow race- a competition where the riders had to see who could get to to the line the slowest without putting their foot down.  We then had quite a few games of sardines and sumo to practice trackstanding.

Toni and I were with Nico, Eloise, Joel, Oliver and Hope and we had to make the circle very small before the riders put their feet down!  After a quick stop for some of the delicious rice crispy cakes that Oliver had brought along the riders practised picking up a baton from the ground.  Everyone improved lots and managed to pick up a baton. 

There was time for a quick competition to see which team could pick up the batons the fastest before some Marymoor crawl races to finish of the session.  Well done to everyone who came, especially Megan as it was her first time
