Thanks to an anonymous donation to our cycle track fund we decided to purchase the first load of surfacing materials.
A second look at the possible costs of concreting, and the fact that we are still in rented accomadation, led us to believe that we should look at cheaper, less permanent, options, and we settled on gravel and stonedust.
Having used this before with a similar project back in the UK, I know that if done properly it should set hard enough to give a reasonable riding surface.
The first load was delivered early Saturday morning and the children were keen to get to work, despite the heat.
We made it a short hour long session to start, with another hour and a half later in the afternoon, when the heat of the day had subsided.
All the children worked very hard. And on Sunday, on returning from the weekly day out, they all pleaded with me to allow them to carry on and do some more.
Personally I was too tired to do much myself, but was cetainly not going to deter such enthusiasm and was happy to supervise.
Well done kids, very proud of you!
