Islabikes 12/24 Kids Endurance Race

Before the big bikes set off on their 12 or 24 hour endurance race at last weekend’s Pivot TwentyFour12 event, there was another 24/12 event just for the kids.

But rather than attract the wrath of social services by sending under 8’s around an 8 mile course in the rain this was a short blast around the arena for 12/24 minutes.

There were 3 categories: 12 Minutes Under 8, 12 minutes under 12 and 24 minutes under 16, and whatever you may think it certainly got the crowds shouting – mostly in encouragement.

Islabikes Chat With Isla

While the racing was taking place we caught up with Isla Rowntree to chat about the kids racing that her bike company. Islabikes, was sponsoring and also the array of rather blinged out kids bikes she had brought along for demo rides.

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
