First we had to practise our u-turns......
....riding through cones set out in a zig-zag.....
....biking through a straight line of cones and then buddying up with someone to ride close together through a curvy course.
To start with we thought it was easy and probably rode over more cones than we were actually avoiding but then Mrs Young decided to penalise us if we touched a cone - we had to begin that particular challenge again. Suddenly our skill and concentration level increased because we didn't want to have to keep repeating the same task!
Then we completed a few extra challenges which looked quite easy but actually weren't. The first part involved us riding close by a partner around the field. After we did that a couple of times we had to keep one hand on our handlebars and the other hand on our partner's shoulder.....not so easy!
Constable Read then challenged us to increase the number of people we were riding beside and connected to.......CHAOS!!!
The final task was to ride on the obstacle course set out on the courts. Some of the obstacles included riding through tennis balls....
.....going over a bumpy stretch of road....
....riding between two narrow hoses and looking over our shoulder to identify an obstacle....
....and trying to stay on top of a hose in a straight line.......
So far we give the programme the big 'thumbs up'!!!
