Thanks to an all-afternoon session by Derek Mullen and myself, the entire trail has been raked and is free of leaves and sticks except for whatever comes down Saturday. The rain should stop Saturday morning so the trail will be okay by Sunday afternoon. Sunday will be sunny with temperatures in the low 60's.

As Ellie I were making final plans for the bike ride and birthday celebration, we were talking about activities.

Since this is a mountain biking bash, I thought mountain biking games are in order. After the ride, there will be five mountain biking skills tests as follows:

Track stand (longest stand)

Back wheelie (longest ride - I imagine many will be able to go the maximum)

Front wheelie (longest ride - I imagine few will be able to do this)

High jump (just like in track - who can clear the highest bar without touching it - the world record is about 40 inches)

Wooden whoop-de-do backwards (this will have to be judged like gymnastics)

We think this will be fun for the riders, but also for the non-believers in the crowd.

Even if you haven't responded with an RSVP, come on over. We will have plenty of bike trail, music, and food.
