First off thanks riders!! This past Saturday almost all of the El Grupo team came together to put on a bicycle obstacle course in downtown to allow other kids to hone their bicycles skills and to just have fun. The event was put on by the Public Libraries and it was called the Get Fit Festival. So there were a bunch of tables and booths talking about health, fitness, and active lifestyles. There was a climbing wall, free apples, nutrition information and the bicycle obstacle course that El Grupo helped the Pima County DOT Safe routes to school project put on. We had at least 50 kids stop by and ride and all riders recieved a free helmet. As each new rider would come up they would get paired with an El Grupo rider and they would show them around and teach them a few skills. It was super fun to have young adults teaching kids. We had a great time, and I look forward to do doing more outreach like this in the future.
Thanks Team
Ignacio
