This was a real challenge pushing the tandem up the hills

I bailed out Mathis from top of the world.

Hopefully everyone had fun and some folks who have never seen these trails were shown a good time !!

Mark - I saw you cruising up near top-of-the-world on the tandem this morning. I was trying to mutter your name; however, I was still sucking wind from the Canyon Acres climb! You guys look bad@$$! riding that thing!

I'm guessing you were the one with cleats?? Oh well, bummer I missed you! Anyhow, yeah, it was a lot of people...but with a large beginner ride, these are things you just have to understand are going to happen.

The group DID stay together just fine, with Pato always at the end of the 2-3 smaller groups we eventually split into. Mikey did a great job shuffling back and forth making sure all the sub-groups were making the right turn-offs too. We had one mechanical (2 flats in a row, same bike!) that split the last couple of riders off from the rest, but they were communicating on FRS and Paco brought up the rear, and we all ended up together again at Cholla by the cars.

Had fun riding with you guys...hope you did too! Starting at Cholla sure wakes up the legs fast! I didn't feel "warm" until we were on the way back to the cars though.

Nice seeing you all on top of Cholla. I intended to ride w/ the group to top-of-the-world; however, my legs were absolutely toast after climbing Canyon Acres.
