In partnership with Sustrans, a charity that are aiming to increase the amount of people who walk or cycle to school/work, the pupils got the opportunity to be fully kitted up in specialist equipment and an hour of expert tuition from a professional coach. They learnt how to corner effectively, how to ride over jumps and what techniques to use to go as fast as possible on banked corners. The trip was a great success and we will certainly be looking to get plenty more like this next year!
