A squad of 6 Trekkers Pilots, plus assistant, helped with a charity event for British Cycling Limitless and VICTA charity at Manchester Velodrome today.\u00a0 In total,11 young people got to experience velodrome riding; all had a very enjoyable time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to riding all present got the opportunity to meet paralympic gold medallists on tandems Lizzi Jordan and James Ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming soon details of the Trekkers exclusive session in January \u2013 all welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
