Glad I wasn't sweep for that group.
Fort Rock "Scortcher" Ride 1
It was HOT.
But is was fun....Eight of us braved the heat and rode our a$$es off.
1. The group shot
2. Toddski ruling one of many wheelie drop ins.
3. Put Away Wet gets his redemption. For all who don't know this is the infamous "Pogo" section.
4. Sushi running the swamp bridge on the 29er.
5. Severum hurt ribs and all runs the swamp bridge front to back. Good ride bro!

I took on sweep duties yesterday Mink, actually it was more like anchor duty to be honest. 
The terrain was challenging but rideable (I had to hop off and walk or ride around a few obstacles) but the weather really knocked me back a few paces. I drank a quart of Gatorade on the ride there, Emptied a 100 oz bladder of H2O during the ride, back at the car it was another quart of Gatorade and a beer (thanks Greg) and I was still thirsty. It's been such a cool Summer that it's easy to forget what it's like to ride in a real scortcher.
Todd, Mike and Greg rode down a nearly verticle 30 or 40 foot wall, as always, it's a pleasure to ride with all of you guys.

Sure I can say it bud, just not sure I can ride it.yogreg said:
So when are we going?
That was a great! Today only my left pinky is purple and sore, not bad for all the crashes I took…that’s funny..”purple pinky”..say that fast three times!
It was fun riding with you all; we’ll do it again sometime!

You are like rubber bro, you just bounce right back up after a crash. The one you took at the end of the ride in front of me was brutal. I can't believe nothing was broken on your rig or person.Toddski said:That was a great!

Good ride, everyone! Dave, I drank that much too, and still felt dehydrated. It was frikkin HOT! Nice pics Greg. My pogo rock looks mighty tiny in that picture Sorry I had to jet so quickly after the ride - but I did make it to Concord in time for my girlfriend's little cousins' birthday party, complete with swingset, screaming little kids throwing balls at my face, and ice cold Juicy Juice. I'll be out of town for the next 3 weekends (cabin building, vacation, wedding - not mine!) but anyone who wants to ride during the week, lemme know!
