Cycling youth development course
The Foyle Cycling Club hosted lessons at Gransha for the hardy youngsters.
FCC's two coaches, Mark and John split the group in to two teams. After a brief safety briefing and equipment check, the afternoon kicked off with lessons in braking and pedalling efficiency. After a couple of practice runs, manoeuvring between cones, the groups were then pitted against each other in a friendly duel to see who could negotiate the obstacle course the quickest.

Foyle Cycling Club encourage all to come along, saying all you need is a bike, a helmet and some warm clothes.
The second session, from 2pm until 3pm resumes again this Saturday. Car parking space is available on the second left after entering Gransha grounds.
