We got down to Blackrock around five o'clock on Saturday to meet up with Hack, Joe Rykowski, Chip and Ryan. We did some set up of the Stereo equipment and then some trimming back of the trees along the route of the shuttle trucks....it sucks to get slapped on the face with a tree branch in a speeding truck.
Saturday evening we did the usual unusual night ride. some of us had nice lights and some of us had a blinking led on their forehead to light their way. There was not real huge carnage during the night ride...just chip trying to chip off the rest of his teeth on Bonzai Downhill. He also broke his visor and was feeling a bit sore.
When we got back from the two night time runs, we started doing most everybodys favorite past time...drinking lots of beer. I made sure not to give Hack my keys.
On the second run, joe took my camera and filmed us coming down the hill. My camera isn't that great, so it looked a bit strange.
We got up nice and early to ready the area for the onslaught of shuttle riders that were coming from everywhere to enjoy our local riding. You can tell it was about seven in the morning from the look on Greg's face. He slept in the rocks by basic training, jim in the back of his truck, raul in his car, me in the back of the maing bus, joe some place in a field and carlisle in the back of his truck. jake was in the plastic bag in front of his stereo equipment.
at the end of the day, it started to rain a bit. some people had their bikes just laying down on the dirt when it started, then the picked up their bikes...leaving these weird dry spots on the ground. i do like the black rock sign that somebody had a plasma cutter and some free time.
the shuttle day went great and hopefully we made a few dollars for the cause.
