2008-06-29 Ride For Sight
So it's about 6:30am and I get woken up by a boot to my tent. "Kelsow, get out here and bring your freakin camera".
Um, ah, OK. WOW, what a view. Dave, you are a very lucky man to have such a nice place. If it wasn't so far away, I'd be there every weekend. Is there a place to park an RV?
Jim took some great shots (while I was getting my beauty rest. I need more) After a fantastic breakfast cooked by Dave's better half,
we headed out to what looked like a wet day. I donned my "blue" rain suit even though I knew I was going to be the centre of
ridicule and mocking, but someone has to.
We met a few people on their way to the pit and we all met at 11:00 or so. Brenton was there with his new wheels, the KTM supermoto.
Doesn't look like it can wheelie very good though so he decided to borrow a bike and do some 180° arched wheelies in the side of the hill. Crazy!
So after the group photo, eventually, we hit the road and the trails. It was some of the best riding I have ever done up in the Valley.
It would have been a little tough on some, I know I was having some trouble with my behemoth, but I didn't fall.
I don't know where we went, but I would like to get back for more someday. Not too many pix as we didn't stop too often.
So here I must say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who put some time and effort into this years event.
Dave, Bruce, Luke and all of our club members. You lads are great!
The totals are still coming in but I think we'll have more than 1000 bux in donations.
