Mountain Biking at Cady Hill

This afternoon we had a mountain bike adventure on the rec path and at the Cady Hill Trail System! Campers had the choice to stay on the rec path or ride on the singletrack trails at Cady Hill, and almost all of the campers elected to try the singletrack.

Mountain Biking requires balance, agility, speed, and explosion, and along with discussion of how to incorporate these into our riding, counselors drew parallels to ski racing tactics in cornering. 

Florence, the perennial favorite flow downhill trail, was a big hit, and the campers were all smiles after their descents! Depending on how long campers rode in the woods, afterwards groups went for a swim in the river, went out for ice cream, or both!

After dinner, campers will learn about ski waxing technique from Jerry Murphy of Swix, and head to the Swimming Hole to hit the slide and use the diving board!
