I needed to be in the office at 10 am , and on an email thread yesterday we were discussing rides for today and I mentioned I could ride at 7 abd be back at 9 , well CP , said it would work for him , and it just went from there ,. we had Me , CP , IF_rider , The silver turtle and Donny. But the silver turtle's Bike is still in the shop, and the Shop Bike he had been using has a Blown Shock. so He borrowed , IF_riders Cove Hartail.

any way here is CP navigating through some rocks




IF rider with the hump back look to keep his camel back from freezing.



CP, If_rider and Donny ripping through the Berm.



And around this time , Both IF_reider and I were leaking oil from our forks . and Both us have gotten those froks from one MMcG ! Hmmmm coicidence ? or the fact that is was 12 degress andthe seals probaly just froze.


any ay final photo, because CP and I had to take off at this ppoint leaving the other 3 to keep on riding. is the Silver turtle going through the trees on ahard tail.

Dude, I see you guys are rocking full faces for the XC ride. Awesome! It's so damn cold here that I do the same. Everyone else is wearing a beanie, a mask, and bandana with ventalicious XC lids, and my head is fine and comfy with the full face. I'm gonna tape a few vents over for the next ride and see if it's anywarmer. Seriously, why do people insist on vents for helmet? My head freezes way more than it boils.

actually , they wear full face all year long. But as far as ventilation goes I agree with you , thats why on colder days I wear a BMX style helmet htat has practacly no vents. and as far as the fullface goes I'm thinking about getting/wearing one, after having just put $11000 into dental work, I want to protect the choppers.
