Well that was okay because in typical Cupcake dysfunctional fashion, we rolled out, all in different directions of course, and then took off. Next thing I know, there is only about 10-15 and nobody knows what happened. I get back to the lot after doing the beginner loop, which I must say, was in incredible shape, and magically the parking lot is filled with people again.
A good group was gathering including the legendary Steve Nevada (could he be the next Shiny Colgan),...he wasn't intimidated. We managed to pick off a lot of riding. Thirteen miles of incredibly fast and cool beginner loop, Rocky Ridge, ?, Mackey, Rattle Dick, ?, and Sucker Punch until we, as a group, cried "Uncle". There would be no climbing of Stooges today.
Highlights of the day included but was not limited to;
- Watching The Philly boys (Harlan, Topher, and the other guy) do lines on Mackey I have never seen before and making it stick.
- Having Churtle drop me after riding from her house and doing everything listed above.
- Watching Todd do things on a SS I SHOULD be able to do,...but don't.
- Having Steve hold on until the end of RR. Did he know he was riding with the U.S. Rep for Marathon Worlds??
- As the Mule would say,..."It's Alllll Good."
- Riding home with Churtle. It's always good to share chamois in school stories.
- If you are still reading, the picture above is all I have to show for this ride,....so did it really happen?
- Time to go and make a difference again. But if your ever in Southy....

Great meeting and riding with you Travis. Thanks for the tour, it was awesome! I shot a couple pics and a short video. I would have taken more, but, I was busy chasing you all through the woods.

Let's do that again some time.
Too funny Travis... I may be a legend in my 6 year old daughter's mind, but that is about it. Great catching up and riding (seeing the back of your shirt occasionally). Sorry I had to bail and get home...or was that a blessing in disguise?!! Disappointed I did not get to see the masters at work on Mackey. Maybe next time!
We missed you all at the other south, with 550 others
