The last few weeks has seen the Juniors ride fall into the doldrums. Laura B has become very lonely which means a lot of verbal for dad. The dearth of young riders could be the result of some windy Saturday mornings or summer sport getting underway, but it probably does have something to do with parents not wanting to sacrifice their own rides in such good weather (and with such congenial company).
This week Laura and I will be there – alongside Rob and Morgan who’ve also promised to come – and I’m happy to manage the Juniors ride. I’ll be adopting my secondary school teaching/coaching persona (Level 1 Aths coach; Hale School sports coach; working with children card carrier etc.) so we may be able to work it that less parents need to ride with their progeny (Pete may have the ultimate word on this; from my perspective, supervising other people’s kids is something I do all the time so it’s no hardship).
So bring yours down to Coode St at 7:00 AM on Saturday. We are training for the Great Bike Ride family event on November 21st (we all need to set goals).
Cheers,
Michael B.
Hi Mike, if we get a chance we will be there for sure.
Unfortunately my 2 are all busy with the UWA Junior Triathlon club saturdays currently.
in fact i can’t even get out and ride as the wife is doing W.A.T training with Vicky…
how did that happen? – eveyone is riding except me!!
John,
I know how you feel; I’m a WAT widower myself hence the need to swap between Fast group and Juniors. Lots of interesting meals during the week too. To rub salt into that wound, Vicky’s boys are at Hale, so she’s getting some of the fees back.
Great stuff Mike. And just to add to your offer, I will contribute myself to this cause. 5 years as an Aus/OS LvL 2 ski instructor and qualified kids coach; working with children and WA Police clearance. So, like Mike, happy to take any additional +10’s in a safe, secure and fun group.
