I will post the pics tonight, forgot my camera at home. Below is the route we did (marked with yellow). It sure felt like we did a lot more in the heat, but we did complete the most technical part of the whole system(with some pushing  ). Next time we'll do some other trails. It was fun and challenging. I was beat when I got home. We missed you BigBoy.  |

definitely had a great time yesterday. hot, humid, but the ride was excellent. i think the most techy trail so far that we have done. the only thing is you have to be careful of 6ft snakes that can unknowingly attack you at anytime. just ask Jon ;D ;D ;D.

your right SSG it was the most technical terrain that we've been to so far, and the temp just made it harder. definitely had fun and can't wait to go back there to try the other sections. Just make sure you bring your pads next time.
ps thank you boys for treating me for lunch - definitely enjoyed my deluxe CB and strawberry milk shake.....
yiihhhaaa!!!!

Thanks for the ebay help. It looks good. Hopefully the price will stay low. anyway nice riding with the crew yesterday. It was hell but funny. Got home very sore. I didn't realized how sore my left ankle was until I got home. Will rest fot a few days and check ebay for a replacement part. I only broke the lever. my shifter is separate from the brake. hopefully I can find one cheaper.

It was a big turn out this morning and the weather end up really nice today. It was cold in the beginning but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I only did the first half of the group ride but I think it was way more mileage than the previous race we did in Blue. I had a blast on my single speed today. It was nice riding with you Viking, BigBoy and AkaGC today. I wish there were more tribesmen showed up. Blue Mountain trails are really awesome and Rocks! The new re-routed monster trail was very nice and The "El Capitan" trail is one of my fav too. Anyway, I saw some of the rider taking pictures this morning and here are few photos I found online.  Of all action photo, I see me pushing my bike behind this guy!  Viking rolling on one of many boulders that we hit.   There should be some more photos, I saw Bean taking pictures too. |

Thanks for posting the pics jontotman. Once the 25-rider-train got started the cold wasn't bad at all, beautiful sunny day at blue mountain.
We ended up putting 22-23 miles behind us which doesn't sound like much but all the rocky, rooty, leafy climbs really made it tough towards the end. We decided to skip that really technical trail we did in the summer, it was impossible to see the trail due to all the leaves. Besides that, we pretty much did every single track in the system.
Good job jontotman, bigbboy and akagc!
we'll go back for more in the spring time.
