This Summer I've been 'working' at Camp Grier as the Director of the Mountain-Bike Program. With the help of Zach Miller I've been spending my weekdays teaching the next generation of riders!!!

 Zach and I got these bad-ass kids to race FIVE xc-eliminator heats today. They will sleep well tonight.

 Campers Will, AJ, Rishi, Damien, William, and John. (plus Zach!)
