Golden Age Bike and Bird at Rio Bentsen Grand Park

There were about 300 riders from all the parks and many riders from Winter Ranch at the bike and bird event.  This event counts as participation points in the Golden Olympics so we were hoping for a medal.  Unfortunately, we didn't quite make it this season but we'll go for it again next season!                                                                                                              It turned out to be a wonderful day for the ride.  Everyone seemed to have a really good time.
