Spoke By Spoke

Dominique Laroque is offering a new biking program called Spoke to Spoke at Creative Wheel Centre in Vals-des-mont. Dom joined us this year for a bike orientation and lesson this year and hosted a Bike Rodeo a few years ago.

We love what Dom and Creative Wheel stand for..."The Creative Wheel Centre is founded on the belief that connecting with nature through physical, contemplative and artistic pursuits is the most potent medicine available to us all." As you can tell, her centre is about a lot more than just biking.

This year Dom is launching Spoke by Spoke. Please forward this info to girls that might be interested.

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.
