At long last I am posting some of our pictures from Whiteface. A group of us traveled up to Whiteface for a long weekend and good times were had. :dancing:
Attendees: TreeSaw, Squirrel (non-monkey), Tweek, Crashby, Gee-Spot, Mtbkngrl, Bella (our fearful guard dog) Ghettorigged, Squid & Sorge (non-monkey).
The Details: Gee-Spot & Mtbkngrl were a bit excited and got there early (on Wednesday I think), but Squirrel, Squid & I went up early on Thursday morning to get some riding in. The trails were a little muddy, but good times were had (as well as lots of falling down). Unfortunately, I didn't bring the camera along on day 1 ('cause I knew how much I would be crashing), but Mtbkngrl got some sweet shots that she will hopefully post. I managed to hit a couple of rock drops (little ones) wrong and busted my seat, so it was an interesting run down the mountain. The nice fellows at the bike shop hooked me up with a loaner and more riding was had. After 3 runs, we were beat and decided to go cliff jumping to cool off at the Flumes. This place was awesome. There were several different sized cliffs to jump off of into the Ausable River. I didn't get any pics of people jumping, but Gee-Spot did and will hopefully post a few. After swimming, Ghettorigged found us and we returned to the house we rented to get some food (chicken vino bianca, salad & fettuccini mmmmmm
) Just as we were finishing dinner, Crashby & Tweek arrived and had some food too and the bike work began. Tweek managed to do a lot of bike maintenance for a lot of people while sipping away at his tastey potato vodka 
Day 2 (Friday): Rain!!!! :mumble: First order of business breakfast (egg sandwiches) then it's load up and hit the mountain!!! Despite the rainy conditions, Tweek, Squirrel & I hit the mountain whilst the rest of our comrades went to the flumes. We took 2 sketchy runs down and I had 2 big crashes in a row, so I decided to sit out the 3rd run to inventory my body and get some food. Good call for me 'cause it started pouring just as the guys were getting to the top of the mountain. Needless to say, it was a hurtful, muddy run that ended our day before we broke something. Off we went to the house to get cleaned up and eat speedies
Then it was a trip to the bike shop in Lake Placid to get some cliff bars for the next day of riding and some new brake pads too (they didn't have any Hayes disc brake pads 
). Later that night, while we were all drinking some tastey brews, and watching the TDF, Sorge surprised us all and walked in the back door. He's always fun to ride with so we were quite pleased
plus, we all got to see his sweet new ride (Preston).
Day 3: First order of business breakfast (egg sandwiches) then it's load up and hit the mountain!!! The entire crew hits the mountain for a beautiful day of riding. There were some good runs and some not-so-good runs (I crashed quite bad and took a while to make it down the mountain on our 3rd run but managed to suck it up and take a 4th run after some lunch). Then it was off to the flumes again where it was a bit too cold for swimming but not intimate moments for campers (how classy
), but some 
s did so anyway and group pics were taken (Gee-Spot
please post some). Then, back to our lovely house for some tastey dinner (chicken alfredo, salad, homemade garlic bread & wine), many tastey beverages and more TDF.
Sunday was pack it up and head home, but not before we watched Lance win his 6th TDF!!!!
Good friends and good riding always = good times!!!! Thanks again to Gee-Spot & Mtbkngrl for arranging our little vacation we can't wait to do it again!!!!1
