The ride on Sept 10-11^th was the best I’ve ever been on, in terms of weather and trail conditions.  Saturday it was sunny and high 20’s - Sunday was cloudy, cooler and just a bit of rain.  Some of the trail on Sunday was unrideable for most of us though, as we had to push our bikes through a couple steep ravines.  Someone called it `hikling’.  Another rider spotted a cougar.  I only spotted the back ends of riders passing me.  All our team did complete the whole tour, and in better time than last year with all that mud.  Almost $400,000 in total was raised to help end MS.
