For the second year in a row GROC will be participating in the Penfield 4th of July parade. Last year was a great success and we want to build on that this year. This is open to all members, not just Penfield residents. Wear your GROC jersey or just come in your riding gear. Of course, don't forget your bike and your helmet. The parade starts at the high school, runs a loop through the 4 corners in penfield, and back around to the community center.

- Where: Penfield High School - middle of the parking lot to the right of the bus loop while looking at the front of the school
- Who: families are welcome

New Slalom Run at Dryer Road Park |
|
Written by Louis Eichel

The course was built in early May and has been a huge success. About 15 volunteers took part in construction. The purpose of the slalom run is to develop bike handling skills including transitioning through turns from wheel edge to wheel edge, riding smoothly at speed with confidence, riding berms and (if desired) jumping.
The course begins at the top of the skills field and the object is to ride the berms smoothly to the bottom. There is a table top jump in the center of the course that has an easy ride around for riders who wish to skip it. Riders who choose to jump are encouraged to start at low speed landing on top of the table and gradually increase speed, height, and distance as skills increase.
Special thanks to John Frame for his design skills and ongoing dedication to the course. He has been nurturing the dirt almost daily since the course was created and is responsible for it's flowy goodness.
Special thanks to Jim Mansfield (Town of Victor equipment operator) for working closely with the volunteers to create a fantastic new ride feature.
Special thanks to Brian Emelson and the Town of Victor for their ongoing support for this amazing new project. The new course has attracted 100s of new riders looking for some more challenging ride features.
Here are the pics. Check our Michelle Wiler with the baby Bjorn strapped to the front working on the berms! That little dude is gonna know how to build trail and ride!
