Surprising Go-Ride

In the midst of the summer season of racing, club rides and big events, it's easy to forget the amazing work done by the club's Go-Ride team. Like everything that happens in the club, it is down to volunteers to make our activities happen and arguably inspiring the next generation of Wheelers is the most important.

Go Ride Games

Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:15:22 +0000

The Go Ride Games were held at Abbeycroft Leisure with John Stockwell (BC Coach) leading. The day was split into 4 one hour sessions; the first 3 were Go Ride coaching sessions and the final was a Go-Race. Children could come from all or part of the day. Overall we had 43 riders through with 25 taking part in the Go Race session. The Go Race involved a 2 lap or 1 lap time trial around the athletics track and a scratch race around a grass track. The group was split into 3 age groups; 10 and under, 13 and under and 14 or above.

It was great to see Max Bidewell, Matthew and Sam Asker and Matthew and Grace Whitwell all taking part. Max, Sam and Matthew A made it a clean sweep in the 13 and under time trial. Matthew W was a strong 3^rd in his age group’s time trial too. Matt and Sam couldn’t quite catch the front runner in their scratch race but did enough for 2^nd and 3^rd respectively. Grace, as the youngest rider, put in two good performances too! Medals and Prizes were received and many leaflets handed out so maybe a few more young riders will be heading our way! Thank you to everyone who helped, especially those there as parents who got called upon!

Go Ride 2012

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 21:02:08 +0000

This year’s Go-Ride built on the success of the last few years. With over 50 children on the books and 30 or more turning up each week we’ve had some great evenings if a little chaotic. The children have had the opportunity to learn and refine their basic skills then test them out riding through the trees and tackling the skills test. With an extra coach this year we have been able to split the group and tailor the sessions to their needs and abilities.

Track Day at Welwyn Velodrome‏

pauladrianbarry@hotmail.com (Paul Barry) — Tue, 22 May 2012 18:49:20 +0000

We usually organise a session at the Welwyn Track each year, to provide an opportunity for members to have a try at track riding, aimed at youngsters and adults, novices and experienced. There will be tuition from regular trackies, and plenty of chance to learn how to do it and train fitness and track craft.

The track is outdoors, 500 metres, tarmac. It is very good fun, and a great experience even if you don‘t intend to ride track regularly.

We have been offered a two hour session on Saturday May 26, 11.30 -1.30. We would leave BSE about 9, travel in convoy. Return to BSE about 4. There would be a cost per rider of about £10, plus £5 to hire a bike. (fixed wheel, no brakes ~ but don’t worry ~ its safer like tha
