Today’s ride on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2009! Once the drop-off points for the various trails was established…the ride would start at Raspberry Ridge in Gingercake Acres. We had TEN people on the ride!!! What a great group to ride with….one of the good ole good-ones for sure!!! The riders were John Spencer (brother Jeff would join at Greentown Plunge with Callie)…Byron McKenzie (basher), Phillip Fracaro, Peter Henderson, Justin Studt, Barry Brittain, Jeff Moore, Stanley Moore, Tim Kenan (i think that was you last name???), and myself. The “group” at the sinkhole saddle….getting ready to climb up to sinkhole….great group! This was a ride that was definitely NOT to-be-missed!!!!
First of all, the trails were in fantastic shape….very few trees down on Raspberry Ridge, or Greentown….well, the one that would make a nice option???? Everyone was pumped at the prospect of gaining much air, smoothing out some nice singletrack, and hold on! Raspberry was pretty dry, but also a little damp from the early morning dew….we started around 9:30 a.m. The trail was fast and tacky! Perfect conditons! We had several new riders on this group of rides. Props! to Peter Henderson, Barry Brittain, and Tim Kenan. New to Sinkhole and Goat trails were Justin Studt, and Tim Kenan, and Barry Brittain. It was a very fun group…
Here are the photos….
This ride ended none-to-soon! We were all pooped. Thanks everyone for helping shuttle, providing food, water, rides for all! That’s exactly what a weekend-at-Wilson’s should be and more! Everyone helping everyone ride better, and feel good about cleaned jumps, tech sections, drops, roots, rocks, flying objects from other bikes or riders!!! The post-ride dinner at Pancho Villa proved GREAT as usual. Can you say Shrimp or Fish tacos? Pelusa Texana? Cane Asada??? All good, man those beers really hit the spot. I hope that each person had the same amount of “good-times” as myself!!! Thanks All!!!
