BIKEWORKS CYCLE DAY AT LINFORD CHRISTIE STADIUM

It was a great day on the 10th of  September when cyclists of all abilities, ages and groups came to share their talents in cycling and had a fun day.
First we had a trial run to test our abilities to take part in the cycle race in the race track around mid morning and we then get to try many different range of bicycles including tandems all at the Linford Christie Stadium.
Then came the race, whereby two people race each other to get to the finishing line in a certain amount of time. People were cheering as words of encouragement were also coming from them to keep the momentum going.

As we progress during the day, the race continue with different individuals of all abilities taking turns and enjoying the fun. Some of us race twice some thrice and some once, but it was all exciting and stimulating.
I race twice and was well spent by the time I finished.
We had healthy snacks (apples and oranges of course) and then we had a barbecue at lunch time
The trainers were absolutely fantastic and the participants were energetic and full of fun.
Certificates were given to all the participants; some of us were full of emotions that we were jumping, shouting and screaming. I cycled 1km in 3 minutes and I have my certificate to show!
It was the first time that such an event was organised in West London by Bikeworks and the large turnout of people proves that cycling is now a popular physical activity and people are enjoying the benefit of it as one of the ways to maintain a healthier life style.

We certainly had a great time! Can't wait to do it again.
