The Bike Rodeo was great!

Dominique Larocque of LaRocca XC Biking School took our Tween girls for a great ride. Danielle Cardinal of fitfleet fitness and our unicycler Eric came along with Dom to help get the girls going. Our 22 bikers were given a little orientation to their bikes, some safety tips, and taught some mountain biking skills. We also played some games and were inspired by Dominique's love of the outdoors, leadership and zest for biking. I especially enjoyed how she spoke of enjoying the outdoors and taking safe risks on our bikes. Risk taking isn't something we often inspire in our children especial when it comes to the outdoors and our girls.

Dominque offers a variety of mountain biking classes through LaRocca (www.mountainbikingschool.ca). We are hoping to arrange a 1/2day on her land in Vals-des-mont in the fall. This would be a mother and daughter event outside of the Tween Club regular schedule. More on that later in the summer.
