We have a very keen 11yr old, who is itching to get on a bike and learnt to ride dirt. Anyone got any recommendations on where we can take him to try it out, and if he likes it, develop his riding skills. Cheers -- Edited by KronreifTrunkenpolzMattighofen on Sunday 14th of April 2024 03:36:59 PM
As per the title, next Tuesday. 1900 hrs if you would like to join us for food 2000hrs upstairs for the meeting, which I will keep short. It should give us plenty of time to finalize arrangements for the Teign to Tamar. If any run leaders or tecs need any help with route planning or guidance for leading fee...
