Thanks Gene for an awsome Saturday! I'm glad I rode over there. Its great to have you in the Warriors Society!

Rockinthecasbah · 08-05-2007, 10:31 AM

It was an awsome ride I'll definitly be out for the next one, and thanks to everybody who helped put it together.

OTHRIDER · 08-05-2007, 11:32 AM

I found some pix after the blackout........

............in no particular order

I had a Six Degrees of Separation moment during the ride. I came up on Cowboy (Winston) and _______(Allison) talking & heard the Loop mentioned. One thing led to another and realized that Winston's daughters (triplets) were best friends with my youngest sister. I happily rode to the top with Winston and we talked to whole way ... except for that last steep (gasp)

Cowboy and Sweetpea (Lois)

SARBoats (Chris) and Laci

Brewmaster had his front tire wash out right in front of me. It was a HARD landing. Everyone slowed at the corner. Glad you're allright!

I'm not sure if Hanzo or ?? took the photo of me and my son, but thanks so much.

Neccros · 08-05-2007, 11:34 AM

Cool pix... just wish I made it up faster to hang out with everyone!

Glad you were there to cover me Duke. Hard landing indeed....

I think the conversation after I crashed went somthing like this:

OTHRider: You ok? You ok?

Me: Yeah, just got the wind knocked out of me. *touches shoulder* Oooo..blood...cool.

OTHRider: Good you're ok. Can I get a picture?

Sit back and relax, grab a cold one, etc. -- this is a 27 minute film!

Enjoy!

The only thing missing is an "I'm fine- is my bike OK???"
Thanks again to Gene for organizing this-Thanks to the Warrior's society for the refreshments and for all you do in your maintenance/advocacy. When can we do it again??? I have to admit that it's been a few years since Patrick and I have ridden here. It's a lot more fun with the group!!! Traci- We are very proud of you- You and Brian are STUDS. Thanks to the sweepers- your encouragement is so important to our sport and making sure it grows!! It was great meeting more of you. Oh- and thanks for all the help lifting the BIG RIG and Burley over the gates.

what the huck?!?

**please note this is a spoof, chris was actually buffing out the existing graffiti up at beeks.

BrewMaster · 08-05-2007, 03:39 PM

nice photochop.

emejay · 08-05-2007, 09:13 PM

A big thanks to all who went to the trouble to set this up. This was my first STR ride and it was great to meet so many nice people.
The scariest part was not the rattlesnake but the dude wearing the yellow speedo.

Look forward to doing another ride!

carbonman · 08-05-2007, 09:24 PM

Wanted to say a big thank you to Gene for putting together such a good ride

, also Chris and the Warriors for all the drinks and support

. It was cool meeting some of the STR peeps whom I couldn't even begin to remember all the names. Thanks to the bros that helped to get the Rig over the gate. Most of all I want to thank ShugaMama for helping to get my rear up the hill. Oh, I want to thank Adam for being such a good boy and jammin' the Elmo guitar alllllll the way up

. I think there might have been a couple of times that he got out and pushed. Traci & Brian and the sweepers

that is what a newbie group ride is about, you rock, congrats on making it to the top. Anybody that I forgot Thanks that ride was a blast. Thanks for all of the good photos.

John, awesome video man! Glad you had the helmet cam.

Just curious, what was your max speed on the downhill? You and the other Warriors were flying!

).
