We were blessed with some extremely nice weather this past week here in Eastern Massachusetts. Sunny and snowfree - which isn't usually the case at the end of January. Anytime you can ride 3 times in a week during the winter here, is a good one. Splat couldn't make it to Borderland to join us, (rumor has it he was to tired from riding TWICE on Saturday :p ), so I played photographer for the day.

The group.



First Play area.







Short boardwalk.





This is a bitch of a small tech climb. It's really short, but has babyheads in the approach, and there's a gap between the rocks on the way up where it's almost impossible to clean.





Next area.










Spine.





Boardwalk.

Lots of climbing at Pisgah. Figured it would be tough for you to get "clearence from the tower" after 2 rides on Saturday. Never did see Chris. I hear he might have went to the Cape? :confused:

I've been hearing that from you since Diablo - in '04!!!! :blah:
What RU talking about! Look at my Avatar, It's your front wheel!

I have no idea where the rest of those pictures went to.

Almost at 1 per year! ....and now I have an edit too!

The Tour of Freetown(insert dueling banjos here) could probably take the place of an Otis day sometime, but everyone would need to dedicate the day to the ride because it's a pretty long ride.

Well as I remember - you were having some 'computer problems', which sounds like the same excuse you're using this time...:blah:

Actually I think it was more becasue of the redsox winning the world series... some sort of weird vortex/cosmic disturbance.

:oink:
