Saddle up – our brand new Mountain Biking Club!

Last Friday saw the inaugural circuit of Lakeside completed by our Mountain Biking Club…our first outing together. It was a mixed bunch of abilities, experiences and skills, with Y9 XP students Bailey, Marley, Brandon and James joining XP East students Isabel, Aaron, Ella and Callie….and Charlie representing the Y7s in XP School.

The new Trek mountain bikes were more than capable of tackling the terrain, and our instructor Chris was both patient and knowledgeable.

We practised basic downhill techniques, controlling our speed and traction and next week we plan on heading out into the woods to hone our new skills.

Mountain Biking Club meets every Friday after school from 3.30 – 5.00.
