Mountain Biking With the Crew
Posted by admin under: Outings .
The Venture Crew went biking in the Santa Monica mountains yesterday. The ride was approximately 22 miles and included great ocean views, wild parrots, quail families, and even a roadrunner. I’m not in shape to make a trip that was definitely more than 30 minutes from emergency medical care, but I used the time to work on my bike so I can eventually get there. Here’s a picture of some of the participants after they got back. The fun fact about this trip is it was led by a 70 year old mountain biker that apparently biked the socks off my well-experienced crew.

I remember being the adult leader on a Troop biking trip and being a tad underprepared for the strain it was going to be. (I hadn’t rode in a while.) I was doing good but when we stopped for lunch I knew the second half of the day was going to be painful. Luckily a Scout had problems with their bike so I volunteered to stay behind and got picked up later. Worked out for everyone!
