For the afternoon, we will break up into groups to explore HoliMont’s fantastic bike terrain. HoliMont is a private resort that is providing free tickets to ride on Sunday afternoon, and the Eastern Division is grateful that their Patrol has opened their training and is generously hosting this year’s Bike Patroller School.
