Ali wanted to ride today and when she told me she also bought Sarah's MTB I knew we had to ride dirt. Then the forecast called for rain. It said it was going to stop by noon but it really poured in the morning. I didn't expect it to dry. I figured it would be gray and soggy all day. Miraculously the sun came out at lunch and the roads were even dry by early afternoon. Also miraculously, Ali had brought her bike! So our canceled ride got uncanceled. I was already in a good mood that we'd get to ride at all. Ali started the day off in a bad mood and it was my hope that a fun ride would turn it around for her and it did! I'd say today was mostly Dropper Post 101. I can say partway through the ride, Ali passed and will be taking advanced classes in the near future. :)
