Second, very important message: There is a speed limit to drive through the Park. It is 10 mph.
Please, show your good Spirit and drive slow 🙏
Thank you for all you do for SPIRIT! 💓😃🙏

Sat lessons cancellation and regret :(
Good morning to everyone.
Another apology for missed lessons today.Who knew that forecast is going to change from almost midnight to this morning.
It is perfect weather for kids to ride today
Feeling so bad and miss you all, but can not control everything.
Any idea how to manage this kind of situation better?
Hoping for some kind of summer time soon.
Wish you a great rest of the weekend, and looking forward for next Sat without any weather drama.
