Anyone got kids that might do the CX training rides?

I was thinking it might be easier to get them out if we got them together and had a practice session. They can get to know each other, and maybe feel more like coming to the series? I'm thinking Una (12), but Liam (15) might come too if I can find him a cross bike.

We can use Margaret Jenkins school field Foul Bay and Fairfield) and set up a small course with dismounts and some twists and turns.

My kids Logan (14) and Holly (12) would come out. Actually I could use some guidance too, as I have no idea how to do a dismount or anything else crossy.

My kids are interested as well - Marissa (10) and Evan (7). Only problem is we are finding out when all their extra-curricular events will be and dont know when they will be available.

Some good tips on the dismount and remounting from a former US champ.
