It's great to finally hear from our group mountain biking in Arizona! A diary from the Winterim leader, Mr. Smith, says, "Great first day of riding yesterday. Ten miles of saguaros, rocks, cholla, and rolling single track. Patted a Gila monster and chased a black-tailed jack rabbit. Squeezed through Fat Man’s Pass (nine inches wide) to Hidden Valley. Keaton made s’more quesadillas – rival the dining hall’s." Yum, I do like the s'more quesadillas from the dining hall...
It sounds like they had a great time biking. Talking with a few group members, all of them have fallen quite a few times, but no major casualties so far! I just thought you should all know what a "Gila Monster" is...I will admit, I had to google it.
(faqinfosite.com)How adorable.
Along with the diary entry, attached was a picture of an exhausted group of bikers that I will share. It looks like they have all had quite the work out, and I can tell a few people (no names) need to start upping the dosage of their suntan lotion. Just saying.

Readers, what is the longest bike ride you've ever taken? Have you ever been on an overnight trip dedicated solely to biking?
