We had a great evening of mountain bike skills on a perfect August evening. We spent some time on pavement then ventured onto the dirt, it was the first time for one participant and lots of women that had less than a handful of times on dirt (although I need to point out that there were a handful of very expericned riders that were really dialing in their turns and body positions!). They all did really well and we finished the day without any scratches or falls! After skills we spent some time eating some delicious paleo appetizers and I spoke about paleo nutrition. I love meeting new cyclists and getting them stoked about mountain biking!

Huge thank you to my sponsors for sending swag for each participant! They all got a new pair of ESI grips, a Backcountry Research Awesome Strap, a shirt from Julbo, Stan's NoTubes, Jamis Bikes, Garne Shoes or Gizmo Socks, a key chain from Kuat Racks, elete Electrolyte samples, and tons of stickers, pens and other goodies. Stan's NoTubes also sent sealant, an injector and core remover for everyone!
