  GET YOUR CYCLE SKILLS INTO GEAR
  AT PENCESTER SKATE PARK
  
  An exciting opportunity to gear up your cycle skills and learn from a British and European champion takes off at Pencester Skate Park, Dover from Tuesday, 2 March.
  
  Dover resident James Sheridan, current UCI British Cycle Trials Elite 20" class champion and European Cup winner, is leading a series of free drop-in skills sessions at the Dover skate park. The series of two hour sessions is taking place at the park on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm-7pm throughout March. Further sessions are due to be arranged throughout the year. The sessions are for all ages and abilities.
  
  The skate park in Pencester Gardens was launched in March 2007 following an exciting upgrade of skateboard, BMX and in-line skating facilities. These latest sessions follow a number of events at the skate park, including the skate and ride event in April 2009.
  
  The exciting new drop-in sessions are being delivered by local company PACE Development, on behalf of Dover District Council. The sessions are being funded by Barclays Spaces for Sport, which is administered by the Football Foundation.
  
  For more information, please contact Dover District Council on (01304) 872448 or PACE Development on 07836 388458.

  Wow! this is a bit exciting. Not particularly for yours truly as my days in the saddle are over unless its motorised, but I reckon there are lots of people out there who will be keen on this one. Sponsored by Barclays too...so I guess some of the Banks are lovable. Well done to DDC.
  
  I bet LindaH will be over there in her Lycra as she is keen on all that two wheeled huffing and puffing as she trains for the London to Brighton run. Perhaps as DDC representative even oul Nigel will turn out in his Lycra...now that would be a site worth seeing.
  
  
  
  Im not sure at all why Im rambling on about Lycra as you can clearly see in the DDC press release nobody mentions the stuff at all.

  What colour is your lycra outfit Vic? I imagine PaulB's would be emerald green, and Barry's royal blue!

  For the sake of the general public I decline to don lycra..............we don't have enough hospital facilities for the consequence of that yet.

  I tried it once but drew the line at the tutu and the ballet shoes where a bit uncumfy. The things you get up to in the army eh.

  Ian's lycra outfit will of course be red, white and blue, while I suspect our other contributior, affectionately known by some as Marmalade, will obviously be in a striking orange attire.
  
  I'm working on the rest of you, so be prepared!
