COC - Mountain Biking - Nose Hill Explorer (All skill levels)

It was great day for the first COC ride of the season. After riding and exploring for about 2 hours we headed over to the Kilkenny to enjoy some fine food and cold beverages.
For the beginners "Welcome to the world of mountain biking". Yes, mountain biking involves mud sometimes and today we got our fill...except for Anthony who somehow managed to stay relatively mud free.

Thanks for coming out and see you on the trails soon, Marty

CCC - India Day Festival (Multicultural Dance Show)

India Day Multicultural show - Participating groups are Irish, Ukranian, Polish, Italian, African and various Indian groups. See Last Year's Event for more info - it's an amazing show!

This event is FREE but we must get our tickets ahead of time.

This show was very very good, although I don't think it was as good as last year. Last year the Kathak dancers were more mature, more skilled, more polished and absolutely spellbinding to watch. This year they were younger and less skilled, and (sorry to whoever made the decision) the sucky English love song that they danced to for part of their show should have been completely scrapped for some quality Indian music. Other Anglicized faux-pas (in my opinion) included the Chinese orchestra doing a simple North American western folk song rather than a Chinese selection which would have really shown what their instruments and musicians can do, and would have given us a better taste of Chinese culture. The Blacktip Feathers Drum & Dance Troupe were very good, as were the INCA Youth Group dancers and the Bhangra "Gabroo Jawan" dancers.

Thanks to all who came out, and thanks to everyone for pitching in $5 to help me recover the funds from my mess up (of assuming the show was free again this year).
