We had a great event and a great demo clinic. We had 9 fantastic participants whom all improved vastly over the 2 hour clinic. All of them rode the see-saw!!! Great job guys! The event was blessed with almost no rain this time. We had new attractions such as Yoga from Satomi, African Drumming and Dancing by Sabunyuma, Canoe tours by Evergreen Outdoors, and a great surprise jump show by 660SS!! Thanks to all of you that came out, and all who helped, supported and worked this event. It was a success because of all of you!

It was a lot of hard work as usual, but seeing the smiles and converted new mountain bikers made it all worth while. Kouji and I are off to Canada tomorrow for a long needed vacation. This site won't be updated for 10 days, please bare with us!! We need some R&R!!!! Hope you all had a great weekend, more in 10 days!!!! K. MORE PHOTOS HERE!
