The rain stopped play for many this morning but the Let's Ride pop-up bike event went ahead so we were still there to lend a few pairs of hands!

The event in Leazes Park gave families a traffic-free route of around 1KM for all to enjoy, even providing bikes for those to have a go! We had a few jobs to do throughout the day including setting up, packing down, registration and everyone's favourite: riding around to encourage people taking part. There was an amazing very special moment when Peter's grand daughter Kate rode a two-wheeler for the very first time in front of her very proud grand dad!

We will be back to help out at the next event in September so watch this space if you want to get involved with this great community mission!
