Here's our very own superstar Josie Mcfall, who has been working so hard, so much so she's only gone and taken home the National Championship Jersey!!!!
🥇🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥇
We are all so very proud of you!!!
We've had lots of queries on how to get to the hub this week, it can be a bit tricky to find if you haven't been there before. So below are some directions for you.
Directions - Turn right down Wilton Street, Go to the end of the road and go over the bridge. There will be a nursery on your right. Follow the path to the right of the nursery. Go under the motorway bridge. Follow the path past the pump track on your right. Keep following the path over the little bridge and the circuit is on your left.
Comment on Facebook 280746098633518_467565372039606
These directions have the clarity of a pealing bell at dusk in a country churchyard.
In light of the amazing video from SPORT ENGLAND, here is just a little snippet of what we've been up to with the support of Blackburn with Darwin Councils capability Funding.
Its brilliant to be working in partnership with the Refresh team, enhancing sessions catered for adults with learning disabilities and autism. It's absolutely super that we can support individuals to cycle beyond the Athletics track at Witton County Park and go for a ride into the park itself.
It really goes to show, that with the right support we can make a change, break down barriers and make cycling even more inclusive.
