Camp was great today! The riders did an awesome job exploring and riding over some newly downed obstacles, thanks to Mother Nature. In total, we rode ten miles with close to 700 feet of elevation gain. Solid ride!
Today, as most days of camp, Bob and I will talk throughout camp and comment on the improvements of the mountain bikers. We let the riders make their own choices of what they want to ride over, or what they wish to walk their bike over. It never ceases to amaze us how each individual chooses to ride over obstacles that they wouldn't have attempted at the start of the day. It's one of my favorite parts of camp, seeing both confidence and skill levels increase with the passing of each day! Another dramatic improvement that occurred with one of our riders was seeing how his new bike from The Bicycle Shop paved the way for heightened confidence and excitement. Younger riders grow at varying rates but it's incredible to see how a correctly sized bike can improve their riding ability!
Enjoy!
Bob and Kirk
