Congrats to Rowley and Magakat kids!

7-17-12: It was a nice cool AM for a mtn bike ride this AM. The Rowley family showed up early, just after 7:00 AM, while I and the Magakat kids showed up around 7:20 AM. The Rowley's rode here a couple of times after their first ride last Tuesday AM, and each time they kept going further than the last time. (Hats off to the Rowleys, for I saw them in my Total Wellness class in the AM AND my evening class the night before!)

Well today, they decided to push all the way to the top of the 1st Hump (aka Scott's Ridge) and the attached picture shows them at the top! Judging on the smiles on their face and how fast they flew down the downhill, I could tell they were enjoying the reward. Way to go Rebecca and Benson, and their mom, Nancy. They really picked up the downhill lessons fast! (Rachel and Dad Kurt had to turn around early for work...they'll have to do it next time!)

Team Magakat has a few more rides under their belt (especially Jordan), and they also did well going up and down, especially the youngest, Jorel. He just flew down the hills with abandon!! I think it's Julianne's and Jorel's first time to the top of the 1st Hump on a mtn. bike as well (they've hiked that before many times) so congrats to them as well!! Thx for coming out and keep the Rowley kids company. ;-)

We welcome beginners--both adults and kids--to ride with us on Tues. AMs. And if you're very nervous about riding your own mtn bike, but want to give it a try, let me know and I can bring my mtn. bike TANDEM out and you can ride with me on that. It's a very stable smooth ride because of the long wheelbase. Just let me know ahead of time so I can bring it out.

And don't forget to Team CycleFit for a paved ride on the bike path this Sun., 8:00 AM, behind Souplantation/Hall of Records. Kids and families welcome!
