So, as usual we met at West Wood at the pump track. It was great to see a good turnout of kids and adults; Harry, Reuben, Matthias, Oliver, Ella, Hannah, Hannah, Alfie, Thomas, Zach, Jess,Bronnie and Alice. We split into two groups, but I made the mistake of underestimating Ella's determination to beat her tired legs :-) By the top of the lane, she'd pushed the pace to catch the group ahead. We were all relieved to see her join the others and settle back into a more relaxed pace! Great riding Ella!
The rest of us set off, while Calvin's group battled with Harry's pedal, it seems to have a habit of falling off? We made short work of the remaining section of Col de Coldharbour, returning via the woods and bumpy field, then settling into a good rhythm with a well ordered chain gang back up to the lane. We were making such good progress we decided to repeat the loop. By the time we made it round again there were a few spits and spots of rain falling, a great incentive to high tail it back down the lane to the park.
Brilliant riding from some of our younger riders, and hopefully some lessons learnt about pedal threads. Next week we'll be at Kingdom, but at the later time of 10.15am for a 10.30am start. See you there!
