Give a kid a cheer

Went for a ride around the Dam this arvo/evening.

Approaching the top of Sun Trap Hill just before the 19th hole I saw sometime take off down the hill. Caught up to him pretty quick. He was probably about 11 or 12 years old. He went slow but steady over the log drops. He said sorry to me as if he was holding me up. No worries I replied take your time. Got towards the bottom and he took the b line. I slowed right down to take the a line down the rock. Came down just after him and saw the look on oh my god on his face. He then made it quite easily down the step and I followed him till just after the bridge where he pulled over to let me pass.

Good job. Keep up the good work. You did really well through there I said as I passed him. The smile and thank you from him was priceless.

Made my day:)

Encourage the kids eh?

Thanks Grant - always good to encourage the kids. Next time you see him, ask him to get a schools team together for the NSW All Schools XC out at Yellomundee on 15 June! (shameless plug).

Although not as young as the rider in the post, I get a lot from encouragement from friends I ride with. Being only a novice rider myself, any positive feedback is great. Good onya for encouraging the young guy.
