Our mini-flyers, parent and child ride, continues to develop our junior’s riding skills and this weekend they were joined by our wonderful Patron, Lizzie Deignan. It was quite a surreal moment as she joined all the riders under The Buttercross! There was a full range of reaction going on from, “WOW, it is isn’t it?”… “Is that really her?”…. to ‘hand-over-the-mouth-World Champion-style’ looks of pure shock! Lizzie took time out of her very busy schedule to join the minis for a ride. The inspiration she provides to all of our young riders is huge and they are so proud for her being the club’s patron, to actually ride with her was a dream come true. As a true ambassador for her sport, Lizzie shines out as an example to follow and I know the whole club is behind her. We will be cheering her on during the season and wish her good luck.
