the first half of the week, well Tuesday and Weds to be exact was Ace. Me and Martin were teaching Bike ability to a group of Year six and Five at Heath Hayes Primary near Cannock. The kids cant ride thier bike in at the moment, but after getting and passing level two the head David Dickonson (no it isnt) is buying a bike shelter and allowing them to cycle. Two kids couldnt even ride at the start but by the end of the two days were riding down the road in Prime with the traffic.
Better still there was loads of sneaky singletrack opposite the school for some lunch time cyclocross. And so lunch was quick sarnie and then on to jake to chase martin up the old coal field tracks. Everyone happy
Till Thursday.
New school, kids not allowed to ride to school and the head will never let them. The Ta's who were out with us didnt agree with us teaching kids to ride, or what we were teaching them.No paper work ready. I got loads of grief from two fat birds in thier forties in awhite punto Draped in England flags driving down the wrong side of the road about to run over three kids if I did block her. Still managed another lunch time cyclocross so not all bad and the kids wanted to learn even when it started hailing they wanted to finish the course, so despite everything well done Jerome's primary year six.
