Maybe the tues night ride should come down to brewvies, buy a couple tix to the show and help support trail building in the wasatch. WAFTA is putting on the movie 3 minute gaps. It shall be awesome!

[accadacca]

Whoah! I just looked outside and its raining cats and dogs in Lehi! We'll give it a go I guess. I just washed my bike this morning from last weeks ride! :angryfire:

[greyhair biker]

:angryfire:the bike is on the truck and I am in Sandy at my folks' and I can't ride until tomorrow morning(bloody hell). Anyone wanna ride Glenwild Loop area wed morning?

[PunchKing]

Weak greyhair, very weak! The ride was awesome I had maybe 150 raindrops hit me which was perfect. I even found some motivation while on the trail, attractive girls + spandex = :stud:.

[greyhair biker]

seriously NOT fair! I missed attractive girls in spandex?!

[accadacca]

Great ride! :2thumbs:

[tallsteve]

I thought conditions were perfect. It rained right after I pulled in, but not enough to make mud and it cooled things off. Good seeing you guys on the trail. I did 2 race course laps for a total of just over 12 miles. Crashed once when I tried taking the 'path less traveled' on a double-track downhill section, hit a soft berm when I tried getting back on the better line and went over. No blood, just embarrassing!

[PunchKing]

You know what they say Steve, "If your not first you're last." Glad the course was all set for you.

Good times, good times. A few photos from the evening. I sent the photos of the ladies in spandex to PunchKind.
