Excellent ride yesterday, good to see so many oranges there, the best part of the ride for me was to see Bryan at CP getting cut up doing the pace making for the fast group, if was funny cause I was following the very fast guys them out of nowhere I saw Chute and Bryan at the front he was so nervous.

yup, good job Bryan!!!! I remember you said, that you are soooo TIRED already - it was not really!!!!! Oh....it was not ME who took over the pace making.....it's Stephane, actually I asked HIM to go & stepped on the gas!!!! Oh my....and HE did!!!!! that hill was so flat for him..jeez!

ALL 3 trails was a BLAST for me!!!! RP was da best ever - riding at the back of Tien was really awesome - that guy is an animal!, CP also best - especially riding with the pace making of Bryan!!! GR....hahahaha, no brakes @ 1st quarter - scary FUN!

Good Job boys seems that I missed a really suffer-fest fun group ride. I was really planning on making this year's Triple Crown but could not get myself up from my bed that early morning because of these shots the night before. I guess there will be always next year. ;D

[CincoDos]

The pictures are being developed. (I left my camera in the car).

Stay tuned.

It was great to see everyone. Again, the oranges were mentioned at the Mill House post ride libation. Good representing the colors boys and gals.

I agree with Cinco dos, we should contribute next year + attend the post ride festivities.

i'm already looking forward for 2012 triple crown. We should encourage others to take part of this great event. my chain just keeps on skipping.. but still manage to finish the ride.

And i almost lost my garmin in cathedral pines. lesson learned- never buy the cheapo garmin handlebar holder like i did. Danny helped me looked for it while walking back the trail. Good thing somebody found it! Tony, Jackie and Merlin's group found it. I was so relieved..

And yes, next time we should chip in something.. anything that we can share.
