2nd Annual Skip School to Go Mountain Biking Day

Thank you Ada Bike Shop for giving me a legitimate reason to take my daughter out of school in order to have Mother/Daughter bonding time and to chase down some sweet single track. Last fall Ada Bike Shop hosted their very successful first annual Ladies Night offering giveaways and expert advice. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to expose my little shredder to an amazing community of women cyclists.

And if we were going to drive all the way to Ada for the evening, it only made sense that while we're there we hit some of the trails in the Grand Rapids area. It was an amazing time and I am looking very much forward to going again. See poster at end for the details.

Pre-Ladies Night Ride at Luton

Post-ride refueling at Schnitz World Famous Deli. Look at that smile!
The kind of smile you only get after shredding some sweet single-track.

Getting the party started.

I have a few dance moves of my own.

Sage meeting her new idol, Pro-racer Danielle Musto. Sage still talks about this . . .  

There were probably a few disappointed women when a 6 year old won the pair of Speedplay pedals. All I have to say is that she had been asking for clipless pedals for months. That was the only thing she wanted. It was a dream come true when she won them. And don't call her a future cyclist. She IS a cyclist. Ride on Sage!
