BoyScouts of Brady Sanders Camp need your help!

Hi all,

I'm looking to recrute several riders that would be interested in sharing some of their time and expertice with some Boy Scoots out on the trails on Sept 20th. These are kids that are looking for advanced riding skills, but there are some basic riding needs as well.

Here's the official request below - if interested please contact me via pm or email ASAP. I can't attend as I'm out of town but still would like to help. How's about some of you, Thanks!!
email is cycle ed @ earthlink . net.

One of our troop goals is to create some higher adventure activities for the older scouts whenever possible - and for this trip the boys were interested in seeing if they could get some guidance on advanced trail riding skills. We haven't determined yet what exactly that means, so any suggestions you have would be welcome....

Most have basic to intermediate mountain biking skills - so I believe they would be happy to have any instruction or tips that someone could provide to help them with more advanced skills and a guided ride or on-course type instruction would be ideal if something could be arranged.

Again any suggestions are welcome and we appreciate any involvement your group could provide. (Although our initial thought is the higher adventure focus - if there are individuals willing and available to do more basic instruction for the younger boys, they would be very welcome as well.)

We don't have final counts yet - but I can give some guesses;

For the advanced/venture type stuff - approx 5 - 8 (and maybe a few leaders)
For the younger ones, if that's an option - approx 12 - 20 - which can we easily break into smaller groups as needed.

For timeframes - we are completely flexible to work around whatever schedules you/your folks can provide (weather may also come into play, but of course we probably won't have line of sight to that until last minute).....And FYI - we are happy to provide meals if that helps with scheduling/planning, just let us know....

Thanks
Greg M
