    truly an awsome site... now I really NEED a big bike :lol:

    I'm surprised at how well the photos came out while there was so much snow around. You guys need to show me how to take photos like a pro! :beer:

    uh...they are pros!

    But I agree...everyone needs a big bike. Forget trying to rationalize having multiple bikes. Big bikes are good for your soul.

    Thats right! well I need at least 3 bikes....

    Getting these mammoth riders together as teachers for a "riding basics" for newbies would be nice... I would definitely love to learn how to ride like these guys.

    Great pics from everyone. One of these days I'll get on a "BIG Bike" and join you guys. Just too bad that some of these rides happen on the same weekend. I need to be cloned so I can do multiple rides! Great job and way to represent STR.

    If you can get away with having only 3 bikes, good for you! :wave:

    Actually, that's the perfect number: singlespeed, trail bike, and DH bike.

    Road, CX, and BMX bikes are counted separately.

    You don't have to have a big bike, many of us enjoyed the mountain on XC Bikes. I even saw a couple of Single Speeders up there.

    Wow, amazing pics!! I sit here looking at all of them and my Haro is in tears because it never gets to go on stuff like that. I will have to get some testicle implants and start going on trips like this.:beer:

    Thanks everyone for a great ride and taking/posting all of those spectacular pictures. It was a pleasure meeting all of you.

    ahh man guys. The trip was frikin' awesome!!! It was a little too cold for me(need winter gloves) but it was way worth it to ride in the snow. I feel like I am noticably better with all the help, encouragement, and advice everyone gave me.
    Thanks Allison and Justin for putting up with me and making me feel welcomed.
    Also thanks Pato for bringing up the rear and making sure I kept up. Thanks Roger for the wheel smacking.
    And a special thanks to slowspokes for sticking with me, and encouraging me on the tougher trails.

    Now all I have to do is save up for a "real bike"
