BACA in BENTON

This is where bikes go to die. It's the side lot at the Bike Doctor in Benton.

A good Friday! The office was very quite and I left a little after 3 so I could get down to Benton and work with our ACH Community Outreach and BACA to put on a bike rodeo. Sad to say there were only 3 kids but to see how just a short time with them improved their riding skills a lot. We gave them new helmets, checked tires, brakes, adjusted seats and these kids did great. If we helped them to enjoy their bikes that much more then it was worth it!

Tomorrow morning I'll head over to Lake Sylvia to ride a 60 mile ride. It's the Fast Girls and Slow Guys club. We'll get to climb 3 mountains and maybe picnic and swim afterwards. Come to think of it, where's my swim trunks?
