Phil McLoud and Steve Jahn visited the kick-off meeting of the Anacortes Mountain Bike Team- They are 55-60 Bboys and girls in grades 7-12, who are being taught how to mountain bike, race, and enjoy the outdoors. The training and 4 races run from now through June 3. They are seeking adult "Ride Leaders" , especially for the junior grades, who will ride with up to 6 students and a Trainer. There are 3 , 1 Hr late afternoon training rides per week. You don't need to commit to all days every week. Women Ride Leaders MUCH desired.
Kevin Foss ( 360-420-4563

julieschrodergold@gmail.com ) Riding is in the Anacortes Forrest Lands.
The kids are great and parental support excellent. There will be an article in the SBC Saddle Post Intelligencer soon.
Hope you consider combining your mountain bike riding with some VERY fun and deserving voluntarism.
Steve Jahn
