Limitless Special – 27 Oct 24
A squad of 6 Trekkers Pilots, plus assistant, helped with a charity event for British Cycling Limitless and VICTA charity at Manchester Velodrome today. In total,11 young people got to experience velodrome riding; all had a very enjoyable time.
The day started with a quick lesson in velodrome riding on tandems for 5 of our pilots, new to the skills, and along with 2 other pilots, and a coach a rotation scheme, ensured we had 6 tandems out whenever possible. One brave young lad even went out solo initially under the guidance of a BC coach and then, more latterly, our own Dave F took over guidance duties from another solo.
In addition to riding all present got the opportunity to meet paralympic gold medallists on tandems Lizzi Jordan and James Ball.
Many thanks to Steve B, Dave F, Brian C, Tim R, Mike H and Izzy H in their assistance to make this a great day for the young people.
Coming soon details of the Trekkers exclusive session in January – all welcome.
