the Future

I know we all say things like this when we read your rantings, but that is genuinely brilliant, fair fooks Rich!

Thanks Culchie if I were you I'd be scared..bring the little one up some evening to watch, you'll learn loads yourself !!

I've been meaning to since you started it, but there's been one reason or another every week. I'm going to try to get out with her on Friday, she'd love it, she has her auld fellas bike skills!

Richie you realy are a legend .. that's deadly and never a truer word said.

Great work Richie. I'm gonna work extra hard now to find someone to have a kid with, so I can bring them along.

I thought that the kids on the bikes with no peddles were great, especially when you were explaining about pedal up on berms and corners!
That and the double takes whenever anyone passes John's CX bike.

It is great to see how fast the kids are coming on, they just laugh at most of the stuff that they thought was big a month ago and are looking for faster and bigger ways over it instead of just wondering will they make it. Now all you can see is little adrenalinized grins and it is all we can do to stop them all going over stuff in a mad little bunch.

Then when they are getting tired, you hear:

"Is it a race Richie?"

"No it's not a race, .... well, maybe it is kind of a race" then they dig deep and take off like little rockets that will probably need to be carried up the stairs when they go home.

So fair play to yourself and Carol, it is definitely the most anticipated day of the week in our house!

I'd love to bring my 4yo but no matter how much I scream at her to learn to cycle, she just hasnt bothered

you're doing it all wrong then ..everybody big or small wants to be able to ride their bike like a legend !! you just have to make it fun for them and can see their improvements !
I think i'll make you scream next time I see you..maybe that will encourage her !!
