One Year On!
It is a year to the day that I organised the first meeting to gather some interest in reforming the North Wirral Velo. It was a nervously taken first step that I was dreading.

This may have been a blessing as the week before I missed a 90° bend coming downhill way too fast and had to be peeled off a wall by my friends and patched up by an older sister, maybe not a terrible experience for a 14 year old.
