It's been starting to feel like we'll never get to ride our bikes together again and a Saturday morning lie is becoming a bad habit, so I scheduled a 9.30am Zoom to get myself back in the groove!
Just like racing, it's all about Process Goals; Goals 1-3 = wake up, get dressed and login to Zoom meeting for a 9.30am start.
We got off to a great start with the Latters who were all dressed and ready to go our on a bike ride. Soon we were joined by Iris and Hannah, who told us all about riding to school down the Hadlow Road, something which takes fitness, skills and nerve. Fin didn't have any bike adventures to share, but he told us he'd been practising his scooter skills on the trampoline, sounds like a great way to keep fit.
Scooters also feature in the Freeman household, Tom has been riding an off road scooter apparently, which looks like fun.
Albert, Betsy, Walter and Gareth have all been busy too. Albert told me he's been enjoying the BC virtual club cluster sessions and was pleased with his race results earlier in the week. Betsy has been out running while Walter rides alongside, I wonder how long they'll be the same speed?
My lack of technical skills meant I left Harry in the waiting room, rather a long time but it was good to get the opportunity to congratulate him on his roller pancake video that he produced earlier in the week. He's been training hard and enjoying the Bkool virtual platform, I haven't tried that one yet.
Gavin sent us a photo of Alfie, who was busy Zwifting, so you could say he'd beaten the Latters to be actually riding a bike.
Homework was to send me some photos or report back on their weekend bike riding and they didn't disappoint! Full marks all round, take a look below.

Feeling inspired, I set out on my own bike ride, dreaming of the time we'll be able to ride as a club again. If you need some inspiration to get you riding this weekend, join our Zoom call at 9.30am and share your plans.
