Freddie looking very comfortable as he spies out and ducks a drop as part of learning the trail – a key skill in MTBing

And finally, in addition to navigating us to the new Elizabeth Line entrance at Bond Street, Maxwell also conquered a tricky foot-high step on the beginning to a drop of about 7-8 metres – an awkward obstacle that I chickened out of, but which he took on in perfect style. At the time, I didn’t quite see the detail that emerges on closer inspection – but looking at the images closely, you can distinctly see his process of taking on the feature. Looking back at the pictures later, Ms Silcocks, Instructor Rory and I were absolutely astonished!

In any case – very well done to all the VeloPark riders for their commitment, teamwork and brilliant sense of fun. A special shout-out too to Andreas whose progress is absolutely flabbergasting – completing the entirety of Eastern Avenue Blue Run, including a couple of laps on the washboard stairs at the end to conquer his fear of those, too!
