We had perfect weather for our ride tonight, and a great turnout as well. Newcomers Susan and Leah jumped right in and were tackling new challenges in no time. Matt and Alan both built up dedicated trials bikes this week, and the improvement in their riding style was immediate. Alan looked great with his sidehops, Matt super comfortable with his setup. Sarah is ready for pedal ups to bigger walls. Dan was pedal kicking very comfortably. Bill spent some time on a trials bike and found his sweet spot for rear wheel pivots. Scott is going bigger each week and Ryan’s fluid style and big moves had the spectators stopping to stare. On the other hand, I tweaked my ankle and I’m hoping it isn’t as serious as it feels right now
