We have been a bit lax and have not posted since the beginning of the year. Sorry about that.

What have we been doing since January then?

Winter

We started the year with some big club runs for all the groups as part of the prep for the Club’s winter visit to Bedgebury Forest.

There was lots of mud and a few tumbles along the way, but the bacon sandwiches helped to put it right again.

Bedgebury winter ride

Bedgebury was wet and muddy and great fun as always. There were lots of tired legs at the end. Well done everyone, it was a tough ride

March Hare

The Coaches took part in a sportive in March called the March Hare. It was the wettest ride I have ever done. At one point it looked like we were riding up a river.

TD Challenge

TD Challenge. We have had to squeeze all the rounds for this year’s TD challenge into 4 months as we have lots of coaches away in September. It’s worked well thanks to everyone’s efforts. And the challenges have been great.

We had new fastest laps set on the short and Long MTB courses for both the boys and girls. And George set another course record with a time of 1:39.39.

Clive T came back for a visit sporting a very nice Isle of Wight cycling jersey.

CycloPark visits

In May & June, we had a couple of visits to CycloPark to practise our skills on their trails. Great session until Toby had a mechanical.
