Testimony from an adult participant: I just wanted to let you know I had a fab time today at the training! Thank you to all of the trainers today, they were great. Derek was superb! He was patient and very encouraging, which made my time at the training so pleasurable. He also told me of nice routes, took me though the leaflets and gave me lots of tips. I appreciated the place on the course and thank you for allowing me to have a place today. Here's to my happy and safe cycling!
Thanks again, Vicky
