It was the under 8's at the National Cyclocross champs in Derby.
Elizabeth as only been riding her bike for about 2 months, it took a lot of trial, errors and tears to get her this far. Being into cycling and racing for the last 30 odd years, it was important for me to get her to have a go. I think she enjoyed it, even when she was super out of breath...
She will be riding again next Saturday and after that I'll make sure she as a summer full of cycling to see if she would like to commit to taking it up more next autumn.
One thing that did stand out today was how good she is at running, she ran with her bike better than most of the other kids, maybe running is her calling. Currently she does Karate, Brownies, football and cycling. She wants to have a go at archery and running as well. We'll see. I'm just happy that she is happy...
