Kids epic ride

On 3rd of April 2021 South Perth witnessed the first edition of the "kids epic ride". Along the roads of South Perth a squad of 3 girls and 4 boys challenged a distance of ~10km riding strong and fast.

South Perth is now warned, well trained novice cyclists are more than ready to challenge the most experienced riders of the suburb.

First part of the ride overcame the dangers of street crossing with the help of parents. Once in Coode St car park, the kids were challenged with an ITT (Individual Time Trial), cheered by the surrounding crowd!

Separated by two minutes each the novice squad rode as fast as it could to earn the coveted prize: a magnificent Gelato as a reward of their work.

Alexis, the "Belgian train", won the challenge, followed by the "indomitable twins" Emilia and Ariana respectively. The competition was very tough as only 6 seconds separated the first 4 contestants.

ITT order of arrival:

Name    Time_Start Time_Arrival Total_Time

Alexis    11:32        11:33.13     1 min 13 sec

Emilia       11:38       11:39.15    1 min 15 sec

Ariana    11:34        11:35.17    1 min 17 sec

Adam   11:30         11:31.10    1 min 19 sec

François   11 40        11:41.28   1 min 28 sec

Morne      11:42        11:43.34  1 min 34 sec

Claudia   11:36        11:37.35    1 min 35 sec

The generous Gelato created some problems to Claudia in the second part of the ride. She was also fatigued due to lack of training. It will be better next time! If it wasn't for the road support of the parents she would not have made it to the end.

The ride was concluded with a well deserved picnic in the park where the riders could wind down their efforts and enjoy the time with their families.

Thanks to all the parents that participated.
