Lets Ride Nottingham - 18th June 2017

Today we took part in the Let's Ride event in Nottingham.

Over the summer 14 cities across the UK are closing their roads to traffic, so we can have a fun day of cycling!

Right lets get to the start line.

The route length is 6 km today.

Follow me!

Don't fall in the river Daddy!

Uphill can be very tough!

Can you see Trent Bridge Cricket Ground ahead of me?

Look where we're heading now.  

The City Ground.

We get to cycle around the edge of the pitch.

It's hard to concentrate on cycling when I want to look at the pitch.

Here's the benches.

Goal posts.

Time to try out the view from the stand.

Another of the 92 grounds ticked off!

This picture was taken by the official photographer and is on  the Let's Ride web page.

Just across the River Trent, is Meadow Lane where Notts County FC play.  Coventry City will be playing there next season.

What's this?  A Bubble tunnel!

Burst those bubbles.

Back across the River.

Another official photograph of my family.

Almost finished.

Made it.  Time for some more fun!

Writing my message on the official board.

Getting my vest personalised.

About to test my bike skills on the obstacle course.

Weaving in and out of the poles.

Over the wooden ramps.

Now to listen to Laura Kenny four times Olympic Gold medallist, 7 times World Champion and GB's most successful Olympic female in any sport.  Also British cyclist Kian Emadi being interviewed and answering questions.

They found some of the questions very funny!

I said I enjoyed the bike ride because I liked visiting football grounds.  Everybody laughed when I said I wasn't a Forest fan.

Next a competition to see who can pump the bike tyres up the quickest.

They signed my vest.

I wished them good luck for the 2020 Olympic Games.

What do you think?

I can't wait to ride in some of the other events in the summer.
