A few pics from this year's Pedro's fest. Didn't take a lot as we were busy riding and drinking. Maybe Splat can add some of his.

Thanks again to Camp Evil. Hope you guys got in another ride Sunday AM.

Nope, no A.M. ride Steve, me thinks the other kids enjoyed to much of the Nectar of the Gods after you left ::).

Home safe though, and that's what counts.

Much thanks to you for playing tour guide and brining us on a Fantastic Ride ;D. Stumpies still worn in to the dirt, but it was good for him, even if we didn't hit epic times on the ride.

Once again THANKS!

Nice pics BTW, did you have any from my biffs on PIG rock?

Peace.

SF (Kona Dude dressed like roadie ((and I'll continue to dress that way too, dammit)))

What a turn around from last year.Weather was great the trails @ pedro's were a bit better . Thanks to Fs Steve for the tour of Kennedy park.Best mountain single track I ever rode. If _Rider made us look like sissys again by climbing like a billy Goat.
Saw Splat and his family .To bad we didn't see anyone else . We had plenty - o - beer and food. Just need mike and the guys to post the pic's of one of the 7, 2-4 pound lobsters we ate Friday night.
Rock On!

http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/trip02.jpg

So friday Morning , get up , eat , etc , etc
I start talking to the guy in the camp across from us , and he has this brand new Intense 5.5 , looks really nice , he then tells me its a free demo. and you can demo it free for the day ! ,

why Abuse my Bike when I can Break some one else! ;D for free!
So I went and got me one of them. it was full XT with Rapid rise.
I did not like , shifting ! every time I grabbed my front break , I also down shifted the front deraiuler. it was also equiped with tubeless tires and Just at the end of the ride I got a rear flat Not my Bike ,not my Worry , I just rolled it back to the intese booth and turned it in. but over all it was a very nice Bike!
here I am on it

http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/pic02.jpg
and here isthe picture she took
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/pic03.jpg
the ride started out as huge , and split into about 4 different rides. I was with the faster group , so I didn't get manny chances to take pics. but here we are taking a small break while the leaders decide where to go.
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/ride03.jpg

and here we are a little farther along.
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/ride04.jpg

and shortly after I got back , the Evil:bota crew showed up , so I went out for another ride with them. Unfortunalty I did not get any pics on that ride.

But am I satisfifed with just doing 2 ride in a day ? Hell No! I Night ride time ! and instead of using my own light, Lights and Motion was demoing HID systems , woo hoo brights lights.

we were a group of about 20
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/night103.jpg
then it sarted to rain!!!!
and the ride leaders really did not know the course and ran us around in circles.
we fianally brought it back , soaking wet and very muddy!
it is raining quite hard in this pic , but it is hard to tell.
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/night102.jpg

the wife only did a small ride on friday , while I rode and she watched the kids , so on saturday , she went out and id an epic womans ride , while I hung out with the kids at the expo.

here are the kids in the trike race.
http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/trike.jpg

http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/ride201.jpg

http://home.comcast.net/~jgoeller/pedros/ride202.jpg
