Jesterrider was suppose to meet up with us on the trail. We were sure a killer banana slug, like this one, got him

lswing insisted I shoot a portrait of his new bike

and I had to shoot the tire I was testing. Is there tread on that thing?

(Almost) all the work is done. Two small trees came down in the last week or so. The rest is clear. Tire Mountain is in the best shape I have ever seen it and I have been riding there since about 1987.

We (the DOD and friends) have spent many hours over many years clearing this and other trails in the area, but you know that.

Family duties kept me off the trails this weekend.Shiggy, thank you for the beautiful photographs.I must completely agree with you about Tire Mt. That trail is a great example of the herculean efforts and diligence by the DOD and the X-MEN.Thank you all... now... what about 2006 Creampuff results... please.m-25
