Surf 'n' Trail Rat

More photos...
For most of the ride, I was too focused on the trail to stop and take photos (and during the re-groups, I rested
 ). During the last half of the ride, I did get a few shots:1) After the HAB, before the 'rolling' section to the next ridge. 2) LaddJasper & CalEpic 3) Looking back at Strawberry Pk. 4) View of Colby Cyn... our "Happy Ending"

All the Way Flannel
Thanks Guero for inspiring the Steppie ride. All but Jose made it to the meeting area and surprise Dean with some of his old and new riding bubbs. The day started out with what seems like was going to be a very cool/cold ride, but after the first climb we were able to shed a layer and keep rolling. The weather was perfect all day and the trail was in great shape. Typical of the narrow San Gabs there we a few spots on the trail that were washed out, but most were passable. Luckily there were only a few slip outs and no one going down.
I was ecstatic that almost everyone made it and all showing their colors...cuz that's how we roll! Here are a few pix, hopefully not to many duplicates The STR Fannel gang *Cal Epic one of the original leaders flaring out IMG_3545.jpg The Man of the Hour and IMG_3547.jpg Dell, Scott, Lynn and Ann IMG_3546.jpg Andy and the secrete STR sign IMG_3548.jpg Gougeeeeeee "The Godfather IMG_3543.jpg Tim *JasonMason, Grandpa in the background, Spokes IMG_3550.jpg The Mayor * Dino, Nam, Dell IMG_3551.jpg Pinic at the Top IMG_3552.jpg  more to come....

What should I put here?

Looks like a fun one.... I don't own any flannel so I couldn't go (j/K). We had a short ride up to Lukens (RR coming) along with a long drive up to Mammoth in the afternoon.

Ruining It For The 95%
|
ok first off, great ride and one of my favorite groups of people to ride with... We finally were able to honor Steppie with his own ride on one of the many trails that he really loves and in Steppie flannel fashion attire.
The birth of the Flannel Ride came about last year when Bret and I were thinking of a way to honor Steppie the Lady Slayer .. there really was no other way besides rounding up the troops and hittin the San Gabes for some awesome singletrack and views. I have to give mucho props to Bret for going through Dean's black book and contacting them. Matt, good heads up move on setting the time and meeting location as well as taking the time to take a ton of pics..as others have said, we had a total head count of 17 people. Normally with a group this large and the type of ride we were doing we were expecting at least a few mechanicals... however we lucked out and the only problem was Tim's spoke that was broken before the ride. We kept a very good pace and spirits were high throughout the entire ride. George was having PAK flashbacks while i just laughed and continued to keep pushing up the hill... Craig the animal cleaned a lot of the HAB section on his 5 spot Colby Canyon Trail, first time ever doing this and will definitely not be the last... it was freakin awesome! a few of the switchbacks were pretty sketchy but i cleaned them all except for 2 or 3. After doing the reverse route, i don't think i would really want to climb up josephine fireroad since climbing up redbox and switzer was not bad at all. Thank you to everyone that attended and a big thank you to the father i never had, Dean Tim working on his back wheel while the bike repair train oversees  CC under the trees  Noel is always willing to give a helping hand to the ladies  Bret made the ride despite having a cold relapse  shesmileswhensherides  newframespokes  beautiful sky, clouds and some peaks  CC checks out Georges tan line  Dean JRA  lynn on some more buff singletrack  bret trying to find Patrick  flannel train  my dell rockin n rollin  one of the high risk exposure areas
