RR: Fully Loop 3 Year Anniversary Ride

SO its my 3rd year into Mountain Biking. A few riders joined me to celebrate 3 years of fitness, comradory, and friendship while enjoying a great time riding on the dirt!
​

Started with our early group which later was joined by the STR/FB Newbie Ride peeps and made our groupbigger!







With so many familiar faces, it was like a mini reunion for me.



Yes, they all had to wait for me since i was the one outta shape. It's ok...that is what Newbie rides are for.



Always love it when the HAB crew joins us..with Paolo!



2 years ago, Mark didn't make it past the area before the single track. 60 lbs lighter, he is telling me to hurry up!



Eric and his daughter Lana. She did the WHOLE 11 mile loop no problem. This week she is doing her first 5K marathon.


More of the STR crew out there.



Ready for the LOOOONG Asphalt climb.





No wonder Paolo never slowed down..he is an Xmen.




Now for some FUN! The Fully Loop's 1st Reward!


Johnny's 1st time on the Fully Loop on a BRAND NEW Demo Bike built just for him.



This is Devin's FARTHEST accomplishment so far on the Fully Loop. She eventually finished it and was proud of her success.


JSD Waiting for the rest of us to finish.




Johnny Survived Heart Attack Hill!!!


Angie Feeding the Ducks.


WHat a great team!~




ALmost at the end.





I still can't believe it has been 3 years since i first rode on the dirt. It was so hard i walked every climb and thought i was gonna die each time. I cramped up that night and cried like a baby. Eventually i got stronger and lost 50lbs just from riding! It surely has been a blessing meeting so many awesome people on the trails. Special thanx to DIno and Mike from Fullerton Bicycles for their continued support through my journey. Looking forward to MANY MANY more years of riding! Happy Trails!!!
