Man, we had a huge group today for our San Juan ride.
I believe I counted 19 of us!! And we had NO issues what so ever! None.
No angry, out of line, DHer's on the climb up. The two we saw while climbing stopped for us, and even turned down our offer to let them keep their flow. Very cool!
No rude hikers at all, up or down. The two we past on our way down we very cool, and even joked around with us about who they could mess with in our group!
And all the climbers we came across on our way down, were very cool. No attitudes at all, from anyone on this ride!
So, with no crazy SJ conflict stories to tell, and no mechanicals or flats, and only one crash that I know of (yes, that would be me) there's not much left, but showing the pictures!
Pat, Greg, and Lazano climbing.
Greg gave the tough switchback a couple of tries, with no clean, but he looked great trying!
Pat on the other hand, cleaned it like he'd been doing it this way forever!
I gave it a couple of shots too. No clean for me either. I may have to try Pat's style next time.
Denis....enjoying another day of "work".
Magna conquering some demons. He took the challenge, and got it done today! Nice job man!
Bloodhead riding rigid today. Rode my a$$ all the way down, and was just far enough behind to miss the "Crash" Maxwell moment of the day.
Frank showing his new Sultan some love on the DH!
This guy? Oh, he's just another freak'n fast guy, up & down, that drove two freak'n hours to ride with us, and I forgot to mention it was Eddie!!
Shoot Eddie, getting old and forgetfull really sucks! But it really was great riding with you again!
Bloodhead, riding like a downhiller, wearing the XC clothes!
Greg was hauling today on the descent!
Frank showing the switchbacks some love!
Magna, reaping his reward for the climb!
I think Mark enjoyed the descent more than the climb. I believe that's a normal way of thinking!
Willie was just flat out moving! Seat UP and all!
CPATTRYINGTOKEEPUPWITHWILLIE!
Way to ride Papi!
I believe this was Nolan's first San Juan ride. I think he'll be back!
Two of my favorite folks to ride with, John & Rachel!
Rachel's smile says it all!
This one has a little story......
I had just climbed up into the bushes, trying to get a cool looking down angle. It wasn't working, so I hopped down, just as Kay was riding by. I managed to get her picture before she passed.
Next thing I hear is "Maxwell, where are you?"
Kay got down to where I had laid my bike in the bushes, off the trail, and thought I'd crashed. I let her know I was in the brush getting pictures, and as she rode off she says, "don't scare me like that"!
I guess it's good to have a reputation that keeps your friend's watching out for you!![]()

It was a great ride today! I'm glad you all showed up!
