Camden Olympic hopeful program starts off with teen cyclists

13-19 year olds enjoyed/endured 1 2 mile bike ride this Sunday as part of \Camden's Olympic activity, Sure, the actual event may be a year away, but there's no reason these hopefuls can't get a taste of what's it's like to be a full time athlete. The 12 mile ride started at Cantelowes Skatepark, Camden Road and a shorter route of 1.5 miles was also an option for the less able.

Kids got to spend some time outdoors, make friends, win me3dals and generally get their Olympic spirit revving up.

Councillor Tulip Siddiq, Cabinet Member for Culture, said: "Congratulations to all the young cyclists who took part in the bike ride. This is a great way to celebrate sports and youth activities in the run-up to us being a gateway borough for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
