Kid's Club

kid’s club pumptrack race – 17/05/25

today’s kid’s club and the first ever race held at the pumptrack. As well as competing in timed laps, the riders attended 4 other stations- a bunny hop/jump station, the skatepark/BMX bowl, trying out all the various adaptive bikes and litter picking ( 5 big bags of litter were collected which is good or bad depending upon how you look at it!) A prize-giving ceremony was followed by plentiful hot dogs ( think Cory got the award for eating the most!) More races are planned for later in the year.Thanks are due to all of the riders for their enthusiasm and to everyone that helped with the various activities.
