Back at the PEPY Ride School

PEPY has been conducting a Rural Appraisal - a community assessment report to find the needs of the communities PEPY is helping. So Tolors, the English teacher has been helping out and various PEPY people have been conscripted to take the English classes in his absence, including ME!
It was great to be back in the classroom. The kids are amazing! So enthusiastic and willing to try and learn. It was astounding to see just how quickly these kids grasp new ideas and are willing to use it.
The PEPY Ride school is where I fell in love with PEPY the first time on my trip and I always love going back there and experiencing firsthand everything that PEPY has been working towards.

... in the Cardamons

Spent the weekend way out in the Cardamon Mountains riding some trails for possible future PEPY mountain biking tours. Awesome single-track through forest so dense you can't see five metres in front of you. Dodging hanging branches and having arms and legs stripped of flesh by creeping hooks of stem and bark. In other words, pretty frickin' sweet!















And just in case you wondered what the PEPY posse looked like these days.
