And on to the BIKES!

The camp hit the rec path this afternoon on our bikes for a little adventure.  The cross training element is so important in all sports, but a strong connection exists between mountain biking and skiing.  Both sports rely heavily on balance, leg and core strength, identification of line (path), and instant evaluation of course conditions.  Perhaps most important, both sports enforce the quickest decision making at speeds.

A lot of our campers made their way into the woods, including some from our youngest team FRANCE, and some campers for their first time ever!  The Cady Hill Trail system offers a wide variation of challenges and allows our campers to progress to the next level no matter their skill level.

Some campers decided the 10 mile bike ride on the path was a solid challenge in itself and were rewarded with an ice cream at Stowe Ice Cream at the end of the path, and of course a quick swim on the journey back up the path to the Round Hearth.
