Kids and cycling

[crashtestdummy]

While the rest of the cycling community gears up for the Fun Rider World

Champs there are six youngsters from the Mt Pleasant Cycling Club (in

Hermanus) who found out yesterday that their application for development

rider slots was turned down. The kids have been training for a number of

months for the race and are understandably disappointed by the outcome.

 

 

I've only just become involved with the small group, and as a local

cyclist wish there was more that I could do to help. The kids are super

enthusiastic and make do with the bare minimum so......... if any of you

for some reason aren't going to be able to do the race and have an entry

- please. I'd like to appeal to those of you out there with kids in the

12 - 15 year age group that have any kit that your kids have grown out

of (or even kit that you've grown out of) to please send it along. I

have a short list of bike spares if any of you are able to help in that

regard it would go a long way to helping these youngsters get a healthy

start to life.

 

You can contact me at: info@capecycletours.com or Samantha Gabb from

Child Welfare at: fairysam@gmail.com if you need a postal address or

have any questions.

 

Thanks

Big ups to you for getting involved!

[crashtestdummy]

Being able to help is almost as much fun as being on my bike

A big thank you to all the hubbers who helped with this, I'm very excited to report that not only did we all the goodies we needed but a bicycle and the Argus entries we were after.

A special mention to the hubber that joined up yesterday so that he could send us a donation.
