Creative Kids Help Design New Track at CHCH Adventure Bike Park

Tyrese came into school today with a copy of a newspaper article from The Press this morning that showed him at the CHCH Adventure Park site. Last term Tyrese designed a pump track and entered a competition to win the chance to see the Park before it opened and be a part of the pump track design.

This is an awesome opportunity and Tyrese had an amazing time at the park, as did his Dad, who is an avid mountain biker!  Check out the article and all the photos in the link below.
