Cedarville Kids Ride
This will be a easy ride on the orange trail about 7 miles we can do more if the kids are up to it. We will do single track and fire roads. This is the 2nd of a continuing series of rides targeted for the children in our lives. The only caveat is that this ride should be about the kid\'s having a great experience not just a MORE ride where we are going to allow kids to come along. If you missed the 1st one we had 7 kid\'s and about 8 adults and everyone had a great time. There will be places that you will be able to bail just in case the ride becomes to much for your child. Please call Jim ahead of time so he can make sure we have enough \"helpers\" for the ride. Also each child should be accompany by an adult 18 or older.
Date: 9/15/2002
Pace: casual
Terrain: easy
Location: Meet 9:45 @ the ranger station P/L. $2 fee for parking.
