Mountain Bike enthusiasts from around the Capital Region braved Saturday’s rain and storms to help make the first “Grafton Rocks” event, sponsored by the Saratoga Mountain Bike Association a success. [private]
Riders from advanced to beginners rode the trails at Grafton Lakes State Park, enjoyed the many vendors and displays, the music and the chance to ride with friends old and new. This is one of several events hosted by the SMBA to promote the sport of mountain biking, its obvious physical benefits and the chance to spend quality time outdoors. Trail Director Chris Cavanaugh was very encouraged by the turnout and hopes to use the Grafton event as a stepping stone to more such festivals around the tri county area. The State Park will also be the site of an Off-Road Triathlon on Saturday July 16. More information on the triathlon for both adults and children is available at info@skyhighadventures.com [/private]
