6/27 Rainy MTB Tour

June 27, 2008

It has been long since last update. We had a MTB tour yesterday.

Since we had some beginners, we had a basic riding lesson first and head out to the trails.

Even though some of them are begginers, they are good riders and guding pace was getteing faster.

We had a lady rider. She was a beginner but her riding skill was pretty good.

It is kind of hard to see though our staff started wearing Rocky Mountain Bycicles Jersey since it is easy to see from guests.

Yes, we ride across the creek!

It was in between of rain season though we did not get much rain and had a good ride.
