Geddis Family

Dear Lilias,

Thank you so very much for guiding my family through Kingdom Trails. We all agreed that the ride you planned for us was the best out of any other ride we went on over the weekend. We all had such a blast…..I really can’t thank you enough. We will definitely recommend Ide Ride to everyone we know. I’m trying to book another trip in October with my husband, I would love it if I can get you and Ide Ride to guide us. Once I book it, I’ll email you.

Thank you for your time, we had so much fun on your ride.

Orion teaching basic bike maintenance and set-upThe Morning of August 8th ideRide coaches Lilias, Jen and Orion met four enthusiastic women riders at the Wildflower Inn for a weekend of great food and bike instruction on beautiful Kingdom Trails. The clinic kicked off with a breakfast and a bike maintenance course with Orion and then moved out onto the trails. Lilias gave participants basic skills to work on and then analysis on the trail.
Mother nature was agreeable for once and over the next two days these ladies’ riding skills improved greatly. At the end everyone left riding more comfortably and confidently.
