Saturday 14th September

Fourteen riders took part in this Go-Ride session where we worked on balance.  Connor, Sam and Polly took victory in the slow races and an interesting twist on the bottle pick saw riders catching a teddy AND picking up a bottle.  We finished the session off by teaching Richard our favourite game of sardines.

Next ride out: 29th September
Next coached session: 13th October (+ bring and buy bike sale)

Col de Coldharbour - Ride Out 8th September

We headed out on this 5 mile route on a beautiful morning.  After the slow pull up the Col de Coldharbour everyone enjoyed the descent through the woods, Jacob had ridden ahead to open the gate for us so no need to stop, just straight into the bumpy field.  We headed back down the lane and finished off back at the pump track in West Wood.  Well done to all the riders who came along.

Cyclopark Club Day 1st September

A big cheer for Tom Midgley, Fergus Gregorie, Jacob & Polly Burge who all represented KVK at the Cyclopark Club Day today. Riders took part in individual time trials, mass start races and Olympic Sprint/MTB relays.  Despite needing teams of three riders to qualify for prizes all four riders gave it their best.  It was great watching them ride and I've promised them next time they compete we will have KVK shirts.

Go-Ride Games 19th August 2012

We started our Go-Ride Games with a mass start two lap race.  The finishing positions gave us our two teams; Pendleton and Hoy.  Track style racing included a Devil race and a Kierin. Tom and Jacob paced the Devil race, while Luke Anderson from BC acted as the derney for the Keirin.  Enthusiastic parents stepped in to provide a held start for all the riders in the Kierin.
