Thanks for the report and pics, almost like being there--yeah right! Looks like you guys had a great time, filled with great people!

Sorry I missed it; hope to make the next one (next year I'm volunteering for the VQ, so I won't have to be as strict with training--heeheeh)

How can you say no to this smiling, missing tooth grin?

Hijacking done!
So now can we go to San Juan for some SS fun or maybe you are ready for SART???
I will never fault you or any family guy/gal for doing things w/ the family over riding so it's all good brotha.

As for the next lovefest...I'm thinking.

BTW, I'm really liking this 29'er thing I dont know if it's a mental thing or what but i'm doing things I didnt on the 26'er especially on the climbs hmmm

SSFest - Round 2?

Have to agree with everyone, this was a damn fun ride. It was great to finally put a face to so many STR names that I've seen for so long. John was an absolutely phenomenal guide; seemed like he knew the place inside & out.

So glad we joined the "wet" group as we headed back to the cars. Those last couple of miles with the stream crossings were the best part of the entire ride--and that's saying a lot.

However, I have to admit that it wasn't so much a SS lovefest as it was a "bring the gearie and watch the 6-7 SSers go up the hills". Either way, was a blast and cannot wait to do it again with 1x1Clyde in March.

I attached the few pics I snapped when I wasn't getting in people's way on the downhills. I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone that was unlucky enough to be behind me on any of the descents. Like I told Justin, "You don't want to be behind me going downhill any more than I want to be behind you going uphill."
