What a great way to do something just a bit different.
Up to 8 youths plus a couple of adults. We check all the bikes out and make sure everyone is in the best riding position and then we create an short skills course which we can be made into a competition (see saw - limbo on a bike). We then all shoot off for hour long cycle stopping on the way for a snack and drinks. On our return we play a few bikes games .
