Just had to post this (not normally like me).

My 9 year daughter spent the afternoon riding at Calshott velodrome and for only the 2nd time on a fixed wheel she managed to ride round on the red by the end of the session and she was buzzing about :-D

    This is the stuff! Great to hear that you get a buzz out of seeing your daughter doing well on a velodrome.

    Keep up the encouragement - you might have a future star on your hands!
    I’m a sprinter – I warmed up yesterday.

    Nothing wrong with being a proud dad mate!

    It's great when kid's find an interest that they enjoy and even better if they can excel at it - nice one!

    Nothing wrong with being a proud dad - as long as they enjoy it, why shouldn't you be proud?

    And a shared interest will help you close - even when she turns into a teenager :twisted:

    Stick at it mate...

    Coach the head not the legs and she will have a great time.

  • It's great to see kids getting interested in any sport, and I am simply stunned by the ability of many of them, so damn fast at such a young age!
