Happy Thanksgiving

Wooooo! it's cold outside. 32 degrees when we got to the trailhead, 28 when we left. It was great seeing everyone out this morning. Martin, T-bone, Josh S, One Eye and Josh C got a head start with the 7:30 lap. Little Nicky, GG and MIB (all pictured) rolled out with Pancakes and I for the 7:45 lap. Then R & R, Skinny D and Brian headed out for the eight o'clocker. Randell, Munson and Walters even swung by on their road bikes.

I gotta give it to GG, he pulled off a lap on his VP Free, single chainring 32T. He was working it! And I don't know how T-bone can ride a 32-18 around Jewell, but he did it, and got 2 laps in as well. The trail is getting faster and faster every day. It's so much easier to ride when you don't already have 4 hours of trail work under your belt. Anyway, at least I can feel good about stuffing my face with hideous amounts of pie now.

Which sets us up for tomorrow. The plan looks to be L&C, ride at 8am, Butch and I will have to take off early to open the shops so don't be late, our lively hood depends on it. If I can get a lap and a half in I'll be happy. Hope everyone has a great afternoon and we'll see ya tomorrow.

No doubt. Good times, good people, great trails. Happy thanksgiving!

Tomorrow, depending on how the evening goes I may ride from my house up to L&C to meet you guys at 8pm. Or I'll just drive up there. Either way, I'll be there. Lotsa fun.
