Our cycling team had a great day taking part in the Cyclefest 'Street Velodrome' Schools Event in Ramsey today. It was a completely new experience for all the competitors, however our two boys and two girls were certainly not daunted by the steep banks at each end of the track as they took advantage of expert coaching from professional riders before competing in 2-lap individual time trials. We were really proud of the very respectable times recorded by each team member, although they were perhaps more relieved not to have fallen off!There was a fantastic atmosphere, with many of the Island's primary schools represented, and it was lovely to see the children cheering on friends from other schools as they each had their turn.Team Braddan were super ambassadors for the school, both in their approach to the cycling and with their sportsmanlike behaviour - we are already looking forward to next year's event!
