After several ‘classroom’ sessions of talking about goals and healthy lifestyle the teens and I were able to get out and enjoy some Mountain Biking.

Thanks to Trips for Kids and the City of Lakes Nordic Ski Foundation for providing the bikes and the experience. Tomorrow we are going mountain biking again and everyone is fired up.
