Great ride Saturday and Sunday. I was little (lot) cold on Saturday with the rain, but it knocked the dust down and made for some good mud riding. Oh, and the stinging feeling of the rain hitting my face between my helmet and goggles when we were zipping down the road in the rain was such fun. I guess we could have taken a break until the rain stopped, but what fun would that has been. Nothing like riding the single track rocks in the rain, makes it interesting not be able to see.

Phil, sorry for losing you on the hill climb Sunday. When I stopped on the hill due to all the bikes/bodies blocking the way, I was considering go back down and that was when I signaled to you about turning around. But then I was like this is going to be a pain getting this bike turned around on this rocky hill. I looked up at the guy at the top of the hill with his bike pinned bouncing around going nowhere and I got :censored: . I was like screw this, I going up and I don’t care who is in my way. I little road rage moment :rant: . Up I went :whoop:, by time I settled down, I was way into the ATV Park and realized, how the hell am I going to find Phil now. I hung out for while on the trail, but thought you may had gone around and then I waited at the gas stop for little while. It makes sense why we never met up now.

Any way great riding with everyone.

As I was sitting on the side of the trail waiting for the sweep riders, I was hoping you and Sam didn't wait too long for me and kept going.

Phil,

Did you notice any difference in the bike after getting your sag adjusted?

Also, did you get to do the water crossings?

I think there is still room for improvement, but "yes" it feels much better.
Didn't think the water crossing was too bed.
