Milford-Kensington-Proud Lake Connector Loop - New Rider

A new rider joined the bike tour this month. Fresh off of a meniscus tear in her knee, welcome to the riding tour J.B.! Hey, that rhymes. Yep, never mountain biked but she wanted to stay active so goodbye running shoes and hello clip-on bike shoes. For someone who just started riding three months ago, she holds her own. Twenty miles in 90 degree heat tonight was nothing but a thing. A silver lining to the heat was we had the Kensington loop pretty much to ourselves. 
The clip-on pedals are a work in progress but my guess is she'll be showing others how to do it this time next year.
Pedal on.
