Ride Report STR Invasion of Marshall Canyon

We call our selves the B+ group :clap:

 

Awesome ride today glad I got my bike back together! Heres to the B+ crew, we went down then back up Burbank and meet up with the rest of the B'ers :bang:

 

Good times today. Linda and I enjoyed riding with everyone, especially Mark (not Matt!), Tara, Llloyd, Randall and the rest of the gang.

This was definitely the best newbie ride we've ever done. The singletrack return with all of the water crossings was an awesome way to end the ride. I hope the handle bar cam that Pakiha mounted on my bars caught some of that action.

We will definitely be back for another ride at Marshall Canyon, probably with a smaller group.

It was really awsome to see some people i already knew and meet new ones, i had a great time out there today, i got a few bumps an bruises to show for it, i definetly look forward to the next group ride,

again thanks to those of you who planned this get together and a big thanks to everyone who showed up and made this happen.

 

A lot of fun today, it was really cool putting faces with names. Thanks Gene for planning a really fun ride.

 

I started the Video, and at the exact same time "Something So Right" by
Annie Lennox started playing, of which the first few lines are
"Cool Water"! Took me a minute to realize you didn't dub it in..

Thanks for the Vid....

 

Thanks for the Pics. Sam!!!!

 

Im living Vicariously right now:lol:

 

Sam and Me Supporting those that don't support us!! Somethings wrong here. Nice Jersey Brewmaster!!!8-[

 

Thanks everyone for coming all the way to Marshall Cyn. I hope you enjoyed the trails. Whatever way you went today, there is a lot more out there to ride, so be sure to come back ya'll!

I took some pix and will post them up later.

 

Team Trek/VW representing...'cept neither of us has a Trek or a VW. I never turn down a free shirt, that's for sure. :bang:

The locals were excellent hosts, guides, and sweepers. Thank you to everyone who made this happen today and kept us all pointed in (mostly) the right direction. It takes a lot of effort to steer 125 of us monkeys in the right direction. You all did an admirable job!

Roger, Nancy, Gene, Cathy, Chris, Lloyd, and so many others made this a great day! THANK YOU!

 

Thanks for a great ride everyone! Here are some of my pics.

Without a doubt, free is best!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm waiting to see the video or pictures of Justin branding Andy's ass with his hot Rotor.

Glad to see so many peeps out there. Fun ride with the A-group and good good times at T-Philips after!

Can't believe it, I'm already hungry again.

 

Didnt make it to T. felipes but took a small group of newbies to Pick up Stix. They were so excited! Tina stated that she had been wanting to do this mountain biking thing for some time now. So, looks like we got a lifer on our hands. Walter (dude without helmet) dug the hell our of it, and Craig, dude I thought Mike (painfreak) talked alot! Just kidding!! Great time out there and thanks to Gene for setting this thang up. Very nice day out there and thank you all for being so f'n cool!

 

All I have to say is awesome ride!!! Riding with the A group was definitely worthwhile. Thanks to Gene, Incycle, the locals, and anyone else who helped us out with this ride. So who's got pictures of the A group ride? OH and the group of guys scoping out the Hot Roders from the inside of T. Phillips? :lol: P.S. The beers at T. Phillips are huge.

 

Billy Idol needs a new song, mouth without a face!:?:

 

Uh, what happened up there? A little Brokeback Potato Mountain??
