Welland Valley Cycling Club is keen that the Whizz Kids get to sample the delights of the many different disciplines in cycling.
New to this years programme was the Mowsley Downhill Challenge.
45 crazy Whizz Kids signed in as they looked to see if they have what it takes to be a potential Steve Peat, World Downhill Champion.
In excellent conditions the youngsters faced a good challenge that would require them to use all the skills they have developed at the skill sessions in Welland Park.
After a course inspection the riders got one practice descent completed before the timed effort.
The 300m track saw the riders explode away from the start on a fast dust track, as the riders negotiated ‘Benny’s Bend’ they plummeted down ‘Oliver’s Hollow’ before sprinting through the finish line.
All of the riders needed to confident and at times brave, especially in ‘Oliver’s Hollow’
For some of the riders it was a wee bit of a white knuckle ride but the euphoria on the youngster’s faces as they crossed line was fantastic.
Great ‘skillage’ on show by all.
Many thanks to
