Young Riders Starter Rides

edited August 2010 in Club runs
I intended these for our young girls who are not ready to ride as fast as some of the boys...Every Saturday at 10 am from my yard..37 Silver Street....EXCEPT..August28th Mildenhall Rally Grass track...September 18th..Belgium CCA group weekend...October 2nd Hillingdon Cycling Nuts racing youth and Adults

I took the first of these this Saturday and despite the rain we did 26 miles at about 12mph average over a reasonably flat route which incorporated a ride through Wimpole grounds.....good to see an ebullient Rebecca back from Holland and Molly...A new youth rider Jack also joined us and with 2 parents we made our way in style around the route.....everyone seemed to enjoy the ride and to crown it we were welcomed by a final cloudburst just as we approached Ashwell at the finish....
Any young riders looking to get a longer ride experience at this speed are welcome....It is however primarily for girls and will not develop into a competetive ride..It is designed to encourage group riding for those who want to learn and enjoy club cycling...as they improve and get fitter we will try different routes and longer rides.....I expect these rides to finish by 12 to 12.30 at the latest. Parents who wish to accompany their children will be welcome and this offers them a good opportunity to learn group riding and improve their fitness alongside their children.
