School bike league went well tonight. 25 kids, mostly middle school, about 1/3 high school. About half with track experience from BikeJam or FastTrack, half newbies. Lots of dirt jumpers chasing league points, but appearing to enjoy the track anyway.
Tripleshot was represented by Ethan Pauly, Lockie Fraser, and Zarija Djurickovic of Central Middle School.
Thanks to Kurt Innes for coaching the practice and the competitive events (standing start lap, 3 lap scratch races, and team sprint), Dave Shishkoff and Steve ? for setting up bikes and holding at starts, Bruce Tonkin for results and timing, and teachers and parents from Oak Bay, Central, Monterey, Shoreline, Arbutus, Mount Doug, Reynolds schools for bringing kids. Also to GVVA Director Brenda Hobor for coming down to check it out. And to Minda Richardson, Jim Pauly and Eric Simonson for use of their personal track bikes. We maxed out the rental bikes again and several kids shared.
We plugged FastTrack, and might have a few more out Thursday. We've averaged 8-10 youth riders each week. We can handle more.
