Report & Pics by Candy Joubert

Thank you OEF (and Red Bull) for sponsoring our 2nd OEF Dusty Dames Skills Clinic! It was a great success, despite the cold and drizzly weather. We had 20 participants and with OEF's huge, fully enclosable tent and two propane heaters, we were mostly snug and completely dry for the instruction. The women were daring enough to try new skills on an obstacle course built by Randall Clayborn as a practice and warm up to the group ride. We had quite a bit of drizzle by mid morning, so our group ride offered some slick rock and wet leaves to compliment the tight turns of the Keystone trails, but the beginners did an excellent job, negotiating their skills fearlessly! I'd like to give special thanks to the following individuals for volunteering their time to make the clinic happen:

Jan Ashmore
Randall Clayborn
Rhonda Brittain
Melissa Ruby
Theresa Clark
Jason Ruby
Martin Joubert

It is my hope the Tulsa clinic will serve as spring board for an organized effort to get Tulsa women riding together, as it has successfully done here in Oklahoma City. If you haven't been to Keystone or Turkey, it's such a short drive for some great riding! The KORS crew is very helpful and I'm sure you can find someone to show you the ropes if you decide to head up that way.

Thanks again, OEF, for continuing to sponsor events like this!
