Our second to last week started off ominously in the Fort Lewis College parking lot, with nothing but menacing looking clouds everywhere. Jimmy Nicholson was pointing out places all around where it was pouring rain. The kids werent all that excited about it, but we took off to the trails! Just in time for a lovely explosion of wind gusts and light, sidewise-blowing rain. Five minutes later it had stopped and much to, trust me, everyone's relief, the sun came out. And the rest was just great. Neil Hannum joined us again and took photos and video. Oh! And they found ant larvae under a rock! The group had ALL improved much, since the earlier time we had been at FLC. They did great on the "pump track", the singletrack and the loose sand little downhill. The usual couple tumbles, couple grumbles, and couple scratches - but all in all a real nice ride with them. They have really improved. That was fun to watch. mini-coach, Bryan
