After all the snow lately causing cancellation of numerous events Wednesday 30th December 2010 was the first time back on the bike for Ryan and Alex for over 2 weeks. Manchester was the venue for the first outing and it was a good session. Even though the track was abit soft on top it was in good condition considering the weather we have had. They both took the opportunity to practice their pumping on the last straight and it took them both a few tries to get it properly dialled in. With a few tweaks being made to both bikes to try and improve the handling they both started to get back into the groove after about an hour. Before the session was finished Ryan and Alex where both determined to jump the step up out of the second berm and first to clear it was Ryan and after a few goes at manualling it Alex finally did it aswell and came back with a smile on his face. Thankfully they are back on there bikes now and they are really happy to be seeing their BMX friends again.

Following the enforced break last week due to the snow it was back to the winter training today. Ryan was at early morning coaching focusing on his gates which are looking really good at the moment and then went through to the gate practice session where he focussed on the third and fourth straights. Once he had enjoyed himself on the track he took himself off onto the football pitch at the side of the track and had a footy game with his mates.

Alex didn`t manage to get up for coaching this morning but turned up later to do some training on his own. He did 30 minutes of gates and then spent an hour sessioning the track. He was looking really sharp today and really putting some good sessions in down at the track lately. When he had finished on the track he went over to join Ryan and have a gane of football with the rest of the kids.
