Quite a ride today and I am pooped so herewith a couple of pics, I'm sure the other guys have some stories to tell and pics to share.

Ox's KatieM was there in all it's orange glory, what a kickass bike.

These pics were all taken after entering the riverbed, the first part is pretty wide and building up speed is not a problem once you get going. Problaly the easiest part of the ride ?

A Husky and a Zook.

RR navigating some technical stuff, notice how the side river gets narrower and more brush appears ready to give you a good klap when you stray off course.

One tough little climb out of the small riverbed, it became more rutted as each bike spun it's way to the top.
