Following on from last mondays ride around Clyne we arranged to ride the BMX track at BrynBach Park in Tredegar. Monday it appeared that there would be about 7 or 8 of us by wednesday it had dwindled to myself and Stewart.(everyone else is a slacker)
Arriving at the park it looked fantastic and a little intimidating, big step ups and rollers and some enormous berms.
A couple of laps later and it all seemed a little easier (although neither of us can manual or pump very well)
We had a superb evening and will be heading there again. The shame is that a big city like Swansea has nothing like this on offer. So i'm going to petition the council to provide more facilities that the kids want such as BMX and skate parks, a BMX/Pump track maybe even a velodrome of some kind. We need more outdoor activities that dont cost the earth. Once you have a bike or a skateboard then thats that, the only outlay should be for repairs. Everyone gets fitter and happier.
I'll be asking the local shops to join in and it wont be just cycle and skate shops, i'm going to get everyone involved if I can.
Right thats enough preaching , i'm off up Kilvey Hill for a spin on the On-One.
