    A friend of mine is a scout leader and asked me to spend a morning with them going over skills and taking them on a ride.

    This will happen this weekend at Scott County Park. Anna and I are the lead on this but could use some help. There will be about 15 scouts there ages 11-16. My expectations:

    8:30 to start assessing the bikes: do the tires hold air, do brakes work OK, and is the chain lubed.
    Could use some folks to help with this, bring a pump and chain lube.
    I assume someone will have a flat and plan to demonstrate the patching of a tube. Going to check with a bike shop about getting some discounted patch kits to give them each one

    At this same time a couple people could set up some cones for a braking skill set, a small log to ride over, slow speed maneuvering. If someone had a way to transport a piece of lumber to use as skinny that would be cool.

    By 10:30 want to get out and ride some trail. If we really have 15 scouts will want to divide into at least 2 groups or even three if we have enough volunteers.

    If you can help out that would be great. Even if just for part of the time. A great excuse to get to Scott County Park to volunteer and then ride.

    Thanks!
