The Boxhill Challenge

The Boxhill Challenge has been met by Ollie Curtis.  On his last day at school before the summer holidays, Ollie took on the challenge and successfully set the course record. 23-07-08_1417 Riding his new GT Avalanche 2.0 MTB, he cycled from the bottom of the zig zag road to the tea shop at the top.  The sweat dripped from the gelled up spikes in his hair and his face flushed at the effort in the heat, yet he pushed on and gave a final push to speed his way to the tea shop. 

At the tea shop, expecting a large ice cream, I had to confess to not having any money on me.  Ha ha, his reward disappeared, ha ha, what a wicked daddy I am!  He had to go another 1.3 miles home before getting a reward from the freezer at home.

It's all good training for him.  Hopefully we should do more of this during the summer so when the football season resumes he will be fit and fast.  Ohhhhh I feel a plan coming on!
