Lots of events coming up. We have a skills camp this weekend  on Sunday the 15th from 1-3PM at Brandi Fenton Park. This will be led by Chloe Black and Scott Blanchard.  It will be a beginner based camp covering basic skills that will include: sighting, braking, rock dodge and quick right/left turns. Then, on the grass we will practice picking up water bottles and other items off the ground while riding, bumping (usually start with partners just taking hands off the bars and putting them on each other shoulders, then onto bumping). Maybe a "slow" race, and, If there is time to spare, a game of Gladiator is an option.  Limited space. Please Reserve with Scott ASAP!

We also  have a Meet and Greet Picnic on January 29th. Come and share a good time with your team before the season starts unfolding. Check the attached flyer.
