Man the weather was NICE today. Slider, ravedjg and myself hit Case in CT. It was a great ride. While I tried to impart the difficulty of this place on Rave, I'm not sure I did a very good job of that, though he seemed to catch on pretty well by the 4th or 5th mile. : He was a real trooper and hung on right up until the last 1/2 mile or so, just in time for the long downhill out. There seems to be some kind of pattern of me killing people at this place. I'll take some of the blame, but there's only so much I can do with this many hills and rocks.

I also got to witness Slider's "Bee Dance", you know that five second freak out when you realize you're standing on a bee nest, usually it happens somewhere between the second and third sting. Slider's is awesome! ;D He got three stings, I got one.

Couple of bad pics:
