Recently we donated a melon slice to raise money for the Rider Down Fundraiser BBQ & Raffle sponsored by bikecommuters.com and mtnbikeriders.com for teammate Wes Castro who shattered his hip during a practice DH run on one of the segments of the 2010 Winter Series. In conjunction with The Path Bike Shop (located in Tustin, CA) a BBQ & raffle was held at their retail store.

Earlier in the morning they had a big group ride… 40+ riders.

This was a combination of members and friends of MtnBikeRiders.com, The Path and STR (SocalTrailRiders.org) – one BIG family within the biking community. They did a couple of loops within Santiago Oaks Park and Irvine Regional Park. The ride was a total blast and the BBQ was a huge success.

Everyone was psyched for the prize drawing and everyone wanted to win the slice! Just goes to show that our folding bicycles appeal to lots of folks and it didn't hurt to have mountain bike technology for this crowd!
