Weekly revelations: Knee pads and elbow pads are a good idea. Emergency orthopedic surgery on a Saturday night ain't fun. Sam splints, ace bandages, triangular bandages, and a cell phone can sure come in handy on the trail. Thank goodness for 4-wheel drive ranger trucks, and you're more likely to patch a friend up on the trail than you are a stranger. Have you checked your first aid kit lately?
Got to spend some quality time with the Reverend Ballyhoo over the weekend. Good times. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves.
Patrollers: New challenge this month. We're looking for the most improved Patroller. Whoever has the highest increase in the percentage of patrols over last month will be recognized at the next meeting. Thanks for all the work you do out there. Please remember to log your patrols.
We've got a busy week:
If you haven't yet ridden the Ginny Trail at Bobcat Ridge, you really don't know what you're missing. One of the premier intermediate/advanced trails in the area, your are greeted with rocks, switchbacks, fast, flowy open areas, skinny rides, a wooden bridge and more.
The City of Fort Collins opened Bobcat Ridge a few years ago and the gem of the park remains the Ginny Trail. Just ask Doug Cutter and Steve Lacey, Overland Mountain Bike Club members who have personally adopted the trail and have spent countless hours adding alternate lines, fixing problem areas, and of course, riding the trail. Check out the cool photos.
