August 21, 2017

Pre-riding the race course on Friday  
Pre-riding the technical areas of the race course a couple of times on Friday
Amy rode parts of the course with us
During the Scavenger Hunt on Saturday near the trestle.  We had archery, sling shot, and Trivial Pursuit stations for extra points.  We knew all of the trails so had a little advantage over the other 30-40 participants in the Scavenger Hunt.
