Today I was back out with the Foundation Degree Public services students from Bridgwater College for their third  Mountain Biking training day.

The emphasis of today was to prepare for the assessment day in a couple of weeks. We rode a relatively short route from Crowcombe Park Gate into Holford via Somerton Combe and climbed back out of Holford via Holford Combe to Dead Woman's Ditch and returned to Crowcombe park gate. Every student had the chance to lead a leg taking charge of the group management and navigation. It has been great to see their confidence growing each day and by the end of the ride the students were riding over terrain that would of made them nervous on day one.

We finished the day by heading back to Cannington Activity Centre to go through post ride bike maintenance including washing, full bike check and lubrication.
