Kids get the chance to try out BMX track

YOUNGSTERS will get to test out a BMX track thanks to leisure centres and British Cycling. The Burnham track, considered to be one of the top three in the UK, is taking part in a the Go-Ride scheme, which aims to introduce children to the different aspects of cycling, from BMX riding and indoor track racing to cyclocross. Go-Ride days will also be held at the Castle Sports Centre in Wellington Road in Taunton and the the indoor velodrome at Newport. Somerset Leisure staff have had cycling and safety training in preparation for the course at the Castle Sports Centre. It is expected that the scheme will be extended to other Somerset County Council run leisure centres.
