    I ventured West instead. Didn't want to get stuck in that nasty I-5 weekend gridlock.

    Hope you guys had a great ride. I'm looking for the RR...

    Great time out there as always. I saw a few guys, but didn't get a chance to say Hi or chat it up. Got do the usual "whats up Jay" leaving Caspers. I don't know how I missed the IMTB canopy!

    Anyway, great weather and great event. Looking forward to next year.

    PR #6 for me this year. As always an awesome event and experience! My wife and girls were the Finish Line to support me. We also won a couple of the prizes - 360fly camera and an AppleTV! It was great meeting Mikie at the imtbtrails tent!

    Thanks, all! These girls are pretty special! My youngest will probably be the only one to do any mtb riding with me. By far the most fearless of the 3. Plus she always tells me she just wants to spend time with me and "see a mtn lion". LOL!

    Sounds like someone needs a bike!

    It didn't last, but my younger one really enjoyed doing O'Neill and Bell View with me when he was younger. Great memories!

    The start is a minute on the road and then a 1/2 mile path to get to O’Neill. It’s also the finish... We were about two minutes in at this point.

    I was so dropped on this stretch. I could not spin my legs fast enough to keep any kind of good pace.
