Teri's riding now

Teri took and passed the MSF beginner's course weekend before last. It was really exciting for me to see her take the class, because when I took it I had such a great feeling of accomplishment afterward.

From her report, the students were being rushed through the class by a training manager overseeing this particular session. It's too bad, because there is a lot of uncertainty and nervousness in these classes; a teacher willing to spend time with the students can make the difference.

Teri passed though. I'm really proud of her.

We went on a nice ride last last weekend. I took her up highway 95, into Potlatch, and up to White Pine Drive - part of the White Pine Scenic Byway and one of my favorite roads around here. She did real well! The wind was blowing pretty hard and I think that shook her confidence a little. On the way back from the ride, we saw a turtle crossing the road :)
