Road trip to Otis air force base on Cape Cod. Ocean Air , keeps the trails basiclly snow free.

we had a fun group of 9 riders and would go at a good clip then find something to play on.

and the silver turtle was riding a XC bike insteadof his heavy Hucking bike . and he was just nutz fast.


we shall start with Berkshire rider coming down a ladder.



Silver turlte, rolling a rock on the XC demo bike.



IF_rider finding a rock to Launch



BadDNA launching



and here I did a Pretty poor job of linking the pictures , but it was my first try so what the hell

And just before He did this , it was herd

"Steve , just think your visa check card has just been stolen"




top of a long climb , its break time.



DR trying to get some oxygen



Another attempt at Piecing picts togher , this one came out better.



DR, though the rocks



Donny hitting the rock in his path.



Gary taking a much different line.



Berkshire rider , thinking he is about to visit the ER, he did not come off of this rock cleanly at all. he did n't fall, but it wasn't pretty.



And finally here is the GPS track of what we did. on topo this time.

Great ride! My wife is going to kill me when I tell her I want more bike parts and I blame it all on you guys...stickier tires, bash guard, platform pedals. Splat beat me to the pictures this time so here are a few of my own favorites:

Splat shot this of me on the teeter:


Steve on a huck, sorry for chopping your head off, we need to work on that "Pictures you almost got" thread:


Landing the drop:


Mike on a roller:

Man, I wish I could ride! Everything is flooded here and too wet to ride. I love to ride mud, but the conditions this year would mean way too much work in the spring.

Great pics of you bastards though :D

Cool. The Kawasaki Green Specialized Stumpjumper. He must work at a shop...or be a rep. Sweeet pictures.
It's a demo bike from a local shop. He has an SX Trail with a Rohloff, but had to send the hub in for a rebuild and they gave him this to use. It's almost 20 pounds lighter than the SX trail. :blah:
