Perfect weather for today's ride.

The Nam crew have been busy perfecting the half pipe and today they enjoyed the fruits of their labor.
Mike on his new Giant always makes it look easy.

Very nice!!

Wish I could've made today's ride.

I'm thinking about taking a personal day from work on Tuesday to ride.

Maybe 'Nam.....maybe back to Lynn. My brother wants to check out Lynn. He hasn't ridden since he injured his leg 2 months ago at Otis.

Crashing runs in the family.

[Rich]

oops, sorry Steve.
