Guests and friends of Gideon Ridge enjoy a weekly ride leaving from Bistro Roca restaurant each Monday evening at 5:30. The ride is 2 levels: a 15 mile "intermediate level ride" and a 30 mile "more advanced" ride. Of course there are hills to climb. But there is also great conversation and encouragement among the participants. Rides will continue through the end of October. We can also arrange privately guided rides or give cue sheets for self guided rides.

Gideon Ridge Inn welcomes Ms. Felt's second grade class for tea at the Inn. Gideon Ridge Inn serves tea at 4 PM daily for inn guests and the public. For the past 12 years, once a year the second graders from Blowing Rock School dress up and enjoy a proper tea. Today, we served Earl Gray tea, scones, chocolate covered strawberries, and other cookies and confections.

We invite parents and relatives of these fine students to share this blog and other photos with friends and relatives.
