WC2 Thurs… peaks and valleys
Morning run feels like it’s coming sooner and sooner for our campers who are now starting to tire… finally. It’s always amusing to watch them walk over to the main building at 6:55am, still half asleep, hair askew, talking about the dreams they had or who was snoring. Group by …
WC2 Wed… Mtn Biking

Muddy Mountain Biking
It was mountain biking day so that means it would rain, and rain it did.Never have I seen a muddier crew with such big smiles. On the first coupleof mud puddles (as big as lakes) the riders went around and made every effort not to get wet. But after about …
