2 weeks ago we held a fantastic bike event at Spalding Skatepark. Despite the down pour and wind, everyone who attended managed to get some time on the bike pump track. With special thanks to Andy and team from Wheels 4 Life for their bike maintenance area, to Lincolnshire Police for their engagement about cycle safety, Community Kind Spaces for putting on refreshments and to Spalding Round Table and East Efficiency Midlands for sponsoring the event.

We hope everyone enjoyed the day.
