It's always a great ride. Had some awesome sunset views tonight with the dark clouds, I'm pretty sure it will show up in the video.

We only felt about 10 rain drops on the ride.

Here are my pics, kirk will have some pretty sweet shots, and I'll have the video soon - should be good. :2thumbs:

EDIT: Here's the video

I am only curious as to where Scott was? Didn't he post for this ride? :ne_nau: :naughty:

Seriously, it was a great ride and a ton of guys showed up as you can see from Beech's photos. No one was stung by killer bee's and the weather cooperated. Nice!

Looks like fun.

However, I must add that dude on the demo HAS to lose that fender. Seriously. :nono:

Nice pics and video as always. Great choice of music for the video. I promise to lose the fender. I have been too lazy and limited for time to remove it the past two weeks. I only put it on for state championship race which anticipated to be extremly muddy as a result of the rain we received on Memorial day. If I could give up the headband and glasses that would also help my image. :lol8:

Excellent video! Really good stuff. Hearing Sammy right now makes me bob my head too. Sweetness. :guitar:

No way man. Keep the headband and the glasses. Nothing wrong with going retro. :2thumbs:

Good stuff guys, looks like you got in a good one despite the threatening weather. I made it up there myself last night with similar conditions, some rain had just gone through but stopped by the time I was on trail. Big rainbow towards Emigration and a nice sunset over the lake. Bobsled was good as usual though that wheel sucking rain rut on the upper section is getting a little treacherous, especially at dusk when the visibility is a little iffy. Apparently it's a little too late in the year to start the loop at 7:00. The bottom was great with the extra moisture, nice and grippy.
