Day 2

Here's most of the crew from our Condo, kicking it with the Texans, as they made us a killer dinner. The day was pretty casual with a course pre-ride the only thing that needed to be done. Rolling through town we spotted the coolest limo, ever.
Spotted Jacqui Phelan chillin' with Pooh Bear in the park.
Jeff Jones sexiness.
Our trusty one speed steeds.
Here's a view of the hogback. Raider's Ridge is that whole ridgeline and she is sweet. Nice and techie with full exposure to one side and totally rideable. It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.
We started the course at the midway point, so this is actually the second hike a bike, that which crushes souls.
Views of awesomeness.
Did the second half of the course, then dropped off the dog and a few riders who didn't want to do the BIG hike a bike and ridge. Toni, Craig, Jamie and myself headed out. Found some sweeetness that led to some steepness. Everyone bailed as I kept climbing. This is the view half way up,
looking forward
and here is the reward at the top. This is where the silliness began. Soooo much techie goodness but easy compared to techie riding in WV. I had one dab and one 10 foot push in the 3+ mile section. I was stoked! Came off the ridge to see Maddie and her adopted grandpa, I'm not sure whom adopted whom but they were new best friends.
Gave Marshall some head game info for the ridge and told everyone what was up with the ridge, pure bliss. Kicked it around town and watched the storms roll through. Another great day in paradise.
