I marshalled at a race in the pissing Lancashire rain. Got league points for it, which I count as a win. Major takeaway was that I will NEVER force or coerce my son to be a bike person. To bike-loving parents: YOUR KID MIGHT NOT BE AS INTO THIS AS YOU ARE.
I witnessed this in a race last year- a dad screaming at his daughter, just into her teens, to move up and get a better result. How is that encouraging? If that was my dad my overwhelming urge would’ve been to punch him, not try harder.
