[quote="adrian"]Nice one, sir - I mean, Huw.

[quote]Groups of up to 20 riders would spend 45 minutes on each discipline then move on to the next


This is what stands out for me. That's quite an ask of anyone's attention-span, let alone that age group's. Don't suppose you know whether Brixton is in the catchment area for that school, do you? Sounds like there's hope for young Albert yet.



It's not but when I start running the Go Ride sessions they'll be open to anyone - even Brixtonites :D

This is exactly what this country needs, Grass Roots is where its at! Who knows what local home grown talent could come out of programmes such as this. Cycling so lends itself to nurturing future success this way. And as we all know, all you need is a bike, a lid and an agreeable club such as ours to enjoy countless hours of addictive pain, sweat and tears. If you were to make comparisons with say tennis you see why we have no one to speak about other than the odd priveledged middle class public school boy..oh and that Canadian! Lets keep the toffs out and keep cycling real and let it be the model for all other UK sports to emulate and who knows in the future we could be celebrating more than just cycling success. Cycle Power in the UK is growing and long may it continue. Big up yourselves!!

Great stuff Huw, awesome work :D

[quote="huw williams"]...no wonder Stu is such a presentable young man if he went there.

Presentable isn't the word i'd use to describe Stu when he's tearing my legs off in the training group :shock:
