as we were riding we came up to a rair of riders and the one had a flat and they did not have a spare tube. So I gave them Mine, you know good Karma and all.

we then went back , dropped off teh Boy , and picked up SloMoJo and Ben-O, I put mylight on , filled with water , and got a new tube to replace the one I gave away .

So off we go, Well No Good deed Goes unpunished , Sure enough I get a Flat :(

well We fixed it and on our way we went.
And found some rocks to play on . here is sloMoJo wheelie dropping a rock , tooo much wheelie he went over and landed on his ass.

as we rode around hada couple of interesting things

1) we could see Gillette styadium in the distance with all sorts of lights and fireworks for the Patriots game, and we were flying down this trail down hill about to go into a steep technical section when I saw a Skunk going down that same trail!!!! We locked the brakes in a hurry , and choose a differnt trail.

any way Back to the pictures

It was a good ride, and almost no daylight this time....

On the trail, I'd occasionally hear Berkshire_Rder yell out in pain...I hope his ribs aren't too soar this morning :o
