[I Are Baboon]

I was just thinking back on a great 2007 MTB season. I counted something like 50 days that I rode. To me, riding with friends is much more enjoyable than riding alone. MBC and I have met so many great people through the monkey and got to add to that list in 2007.

These pics have probably all been posted before, but what the hell. It's Friday and I'm killing time.

Riding partner Numero Uno: MBC

The usual suspects:

Lest we forget BEER with BV and Antomony, along with psycle_on and tammy.

Apologies to any monkeys that I may have missed or that I didn't get any pics of (e.g. Jacksonpt).

OK, time for ski season.

I approve!

Man it has been ages since I've been on a real long solid mtb ride.

'07 was by far the worst riding year ever for me...2 DH weekends, a few xc rides, and a bunch of solo road rides.

suxor.

I started out strong - but faded big time over the course of the summer.

 

[BadDNA]

My wife often asks me now if I'll be home after work, not if I'm going riding. It's been a busy summer for me and my bikes.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I approve!

So where's my approval, beeotch?

 

[splat]

I'll have to do mine , closer to the end of the year, since there is still lots of riding left in the year! or at least after Sunday when i will snap a few more of you

 

[MMcG]

hahaha!

 

[Quo Fan]

"You must spread rep around..."

Because I'm the first usual suspect, and I love that pic of me.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

[splat]

I love that pic of me.

You were on a roll that day. And I think it might even be the same Bike!!! ( imagine that !! )

 

[loco-gringo]

Nice. You guys should hit Texas on your next tour.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Great report! Be glad DRB is fast - that way you probably couldn't smell his Camelback.

 

[Jozz]

[McGRP01]

Wow, we didn't ride together in '07?!?! I'm sad.

 

[TreeSaw]

I approve of riding with monkeys!!!

edit: D'oh I have to spread the rep.

 

[DRB]

Awesome year for y'all.

 

[kidwoo]

Awesome year for y'all.

That's the first pic I've ever seen of you.


So.......um........normal.


What gives?

 

[stevew]

DRB is 40?

I think it is a lie.

 

[narlus]

That's the first pic I've ever seen of you.

What gives?

he's actually wearing BV's cousin as a skin suit.

 

[PatBranch]

That's what I was thinking...that's definitely not him.

I can't wait for the Kendafest next year!!!

and we need to convince MMcG he needs to come too. he would be a kid in a candy store demoing all the bikes.

If the price is affordable I'd like to go.

Just start saving your credits now, and by the time Kendafest rolls around you should have enough to get in.

I must spread some more rep around before I can give you more.

 

[bluebug32]

I didn't get many monkey rides in this year.

But I saw Babs and Co. on the trail! That must count for something

 

[laura]

I approve!

Oh do I feel you. These pictures made me miss it really bad too.

 

[manimal]

ah yes, 'twas a great year for meeting new people.

and MBC has a cool "i'm gonna launch this next table" face
