Bikers tear through off-road trails
By Jim Petterson
Kansan staff writer
The woods of the Adams Campus, near the south side of Clinton Lake, were enveloped in silence Saturday, punctuated by shouts and laughter that seemed to reverberate through the hills.
Twelve people, some wearing helmets, assembled at the beginning of a narrow strip of exposed dirt snatching through the trees. Perched on the seats of their mountain and the riders embarked on a short off-road adventure.
One by one, the 12 people sped down the trail over and around rocks and fallen trees.
Rick Cameron, assistant director of Recreation Services, stood nearby watching the participants in KU Recreation Services' first Mountain Bike Jamboree.
"There are a lot of people at KU who ride mountain bikes," Cameron said. "We just wanted to provide something for the mountain bikers to do."
Participants had the opportunity to explore the three trails Recreation Services employees had planned or pick up tips on repairing and maintaining their mountain bikes. Riders also could attend a clinic outlining the finer points of mountain bike riding.
Curt Bales, 1980 National Trials Champion, gave a trials demonstration and explained the techniques he used in trials competition.
Bales said trials riding was essentially obstacle course riding without putting your foot down. Riders must use balance and agility to negotiate their bikes over everything from large rocks to rock-strewn gullies.
Cameron said he was pleased with the turnout and hoped there would be other mountain bike jamborees in the future.
Cameron said the Adams Campus has 220 acres of land donated to the Kansas University Endowment Association in the late 1960s. KU Recreation Services leases portions of the land from the Endowment Association for outdoor education and recreation.
