First off i must say that its great to be riding again. Being outdoors and riding with others just makes a good day even better. I must say though that the 3-4 weeks i took off really took its toll and i was in pain today. After attempting the first B, i quit mid way and hiked up. Cleaned the 2nd and 3rd B's and when i was closing in on the pavement i bonked big time. I was light headed and felt like i was going to puke.

hmm, that hasn't happened before, i thought. I sat it out for a few minutes and decided to press on.
Me and my buddy hit the dirt jumps for a bit and then moved on to the infamous oaks drop. At the drop, there must have been a group of at least 8-9 riders. Adam (beantown) was there with some guys that he must have ran into in the parking lot. I managed a ridiculously fast launch off the drop and rode back to see if my bud was gonna go. Since he didn't feel like possibly embarrassing himself in front of a large group. Turns out that might have been a good decision since a guy that adam was riding with decided to hit it, but went off with way too little speed and his front wheel dropped down right after he went off the drop. He landed hard on his shoulder and couldn't ride out. Hope the guy is ok!

OK so whats a RR without some pics eh... not many pics of me since my friend had no idea how to work my camera.

Matching helmet & bike color scheme....I'm smelling roadie here!

If it walks like a duck.... It's a duck.

If it quacks like a duck.... it's a duck.

See where I'm going with this Nam?

Pretty good action shots!

Make sure it's baby blue, like your helmet. That would be sweet.
