A group of young mountain bikers learned safety and skills on the trails at Alameda Park on Saturday, July 15, and walked away with knowledge as well as a community.
Despite the blazing heat, the experienced group of eight participated in a three-hour ride along some of the park’s toughest trails.
According to Julie Säler, a certified biking instructor, this was the first time a training of this kind had taken place.
