Weekend Booyah!

Friday afterwork it was time to get the Trail Slayer out for some chop-chop time, then the chainsaw for a few downed trees, remove a bridge and then throw some rocks around.....caveman style:) We had the Prive Vandelune Memorial Ride going on Saturday and I wanted the trail to be great.....all was looking good til the damn rain hit around 5:30pm it was only a 5 minute storm, with around an .5 inches of rain:)


way back in Denmans by thee service road

Teri is training for the Dirty Duatholon, we're tag teaming it this year...Bianchi was loving the run

just have too love a well groomed trail:)

removed the fucked up little bridge, replaced with rocks....still need to fill that hole all the way up so when heavy rains come the water won't wash all away....just silt the area in....at least in theory:)


Saturday was up at the crack of dawn to go mow a little at the Center for the Squirrels Nest TT on Sunday. After that it was time too eat then load up the BOB, 2 cases of Miller Lite was heading to the old fire pit for a mid ride break for those of us attending thee Price Vanderlune ride and braving thee some what puddly trails....all was good......most of us got muddy for a great cause and many of us went down at least once:) Some road straight to thee beer stop....gotta love Westy, Chad, Marko and Rob Verstegh:)

I love the connection within your cycling culture

somehow that just does not happen in the city...

well... maybe the messengers have their thing

but for us old folks with straight jobs and parental responsibilities
well... we just do not get to assemble the masses like you all do

when I read your blog or fatmarc's blog I am always amazed at the comaraderie

frickin awesome
