    More fun than a barrel of monkeys! Biggest non-organized ride I've ever been on. Tour de Loop.
    I've got 76 pics to sort through.
    Here's a start:

    Hard to imagine that's what happened to a bike while riding Fully Loop! Good times were had for sure. I had a blast, and I can't wait 'til I get to the next one! Good to see familiar faces.

    I was trying to get a head count. I got to 40 and that was just the people in front of me as we were standing in the parking lot. People were moving around to much so I gave up. My guess is closer to 55.

    Neil pissed off the mtb'ing gods when he elected to do 3 laps on the loop. Some times you just have to know when to let go of the bulls horns. Dood, you can't temp fate like that!

    I did two laps, one with the Turner and the next with the SS. The Turner still has mechnical issues, but the ss is easier to climb with. The first lap group is growing too.

    Neil is just a giant mashing animal and the titanium gods need to step up in the welders that they hire. Soldiers need tanks for a reason!

    I was on the first lap to, it was going at a pretty good pace, but we had to cut of the the RR tracks to get back to the cars in time before the next lap started.

    The chica's were out in force too. I think there were 5 or 6 dirty girls out there last night. Hopefully next week we'll have Lety and Christine out too.

    Great job ladies!

    Great meeting Dirt Diva and Rhonda, come back next week. Ann always a pleasure.

    And Willy great comparing bruises with you[​IMG]

    Yes, yes! I'll be out next week, hopefully I can convince Christine to get out too! No bouts in August so I can stay out and play. Plus the new bike coming in!!!! I can hardly contain myself. :lol: Many thanks Jordan to for always coming out early so I can get at least one lap in before skating.

    Lotta fun last night. Great to finally meet a lot of you. I had to bail out at the railroad tracks on the second loop; made it home just in time to tuck my daughter in for the night. I'll definitely be in for post-ride action next time, though. Will be sure to bring some special "sports drink" too. :beer:

    Neil, WTF happened to that ti beauty? Did you take it off the Hillcrest huck or something? :)

    It was fun seeing all the peeps out last night. We took off @ 6:45 due to the fact that we needed to get back b4 dark and feed Adam. The parking lot was full, the most that I have seen at the loop. I did however see some fool riding down the stairs at the courthouse. I hope that he wasn't an STR homie. The Loop is a fun ride and I wouldn't want the city to step in due to MTBrs.

    It is already on its way back to Lynskey...fortunately it is covered as is the paint job:clap:, that had me worried the most!
    So it looks like a new frame, that I can handle so for now the PUSS is back in action:bang:

    Thanks Andy for the ride back to the lot and big thanks to Jared & Megan for walking with me, good to see you 2 again.
    Good times last night.
    If there is a loop ride to be at, I would suggest being there next thursday....it will be like nothing you have experienced before, maybe:lol:
