So today myself and eren and dan89 loaded up the car and headed for Galbraith Mt. in Bellingham Wa. The plan was to find a denny's, devour food, meet up with our Brad, the owner of our sponsor Spectrum Techwear (www.spectrumtechwear.com), and then shred the hill. This would be eren's first ride in five months (broke his arm in October) so we were planning to take it easy and chill. Of course things didn't go quite as planned, the Denny's has apparently been replaced with an IHOP 
(who's bicuits and gravy are inferior according to dan). Then brad had some brake trouble and wouldn't be able to hook up for an hour or so. disgruntled but not beat, we headed up the hill. the three mile hike went pretty quickly with good friends and some good jokes. Eren was a little slow as he's put on some weight 
but that didn't stop us. Somehow brad and his buddy mike caught up to us (could have something to do with having to push our big heavy dh rigs instead of pedaling up). We decided to play around a bit on some fun little jumps up top and then we ran through a whole slew of trails. the conditions on the dh trails were prime, nice and tacky but on the flat connector trails there were massive mud puddles 
lthumbsdown: . after hitting a few more trails and hiking up some very, very steep fire road lthumbsdown: lthumbsdown: we got back in the car and headed to the nearest shell station for post ride refreshments.
me about to give a nice 1foot table on a hip at the top, you get a glimpse of the awesome view in the background
random rider(#1) throwing a sweet whip on the hip
random rider(#2) getting jiggy with it
mike about to launch (dan was a little quick with his shutter finger today)
eren with his first jump after 5 months of being off the bike
me scoping out a sweet chute over the rise
the aftermath
