As it is school holidays I took the opportunity to take my son William out with his friend Alfie on a beginners course together with Anne who was wanting to learn a few more skills after a cycling holiday in Turkey. Despite the ages varying from 12 years to 58 years the whole day went incredibly well with everyone really pushing the limit of their potential the whole day.
Anne was amazing and really developed quickly from just being comfortable riding gravel roads to doing drops and rocky descents in a very confident fashion, and enjoying it!
Alfie was the miraculous dismount ninja, with having quite a few
scary moments when he decided to bail over the bars landing on his feet!
He was gradually getting used to shifting his body around on the
bike and rode all the steep steps and rocky descents confidently at
the end.
William despite being the smallest took the advantage of being on home
territory and having had his mother shouting advise from the last 4
years of riding and did me very proud by riding everything beautifully. I
just hope it has inspired him to come out more often for rides rather
than just one or twice a year!
Great day despite the rainy weather (and the rubbish photographer!)
