Saturday 1st April. This was Glasgow City Parks day when they opened Victoria Park up to lots of outdoor activities that can be done through out the city parks. There was sailing and model boats on the pond, a climbing wall, bowling, mini golf and many other activities. We were there with a small cycling skills course for children and young people. The event was open from 12 noon to 4.oopm. We were at it all of that time with a constant small line waiting for their go.
This proved so successful that we had to call a halt to the event at 4 with a number of young people still to have a go. We eventually closed up shop at 4.30. It is hard to say what the participants get out of this sort of event but we did try to build in some coaching and skills development. The course it's self did encourage development moving from initial stuff like brakes,awareness, steering. And body position then moving on to some more handling skills over small logs and a larger block. The weather turned out fine except for the cold wind all in all a good day. Colin.
