100K OF GRAVEL

PAUL, BRIAN, JOHN AND ROBERT MEETING AT
JOE'S
FOR A LONG BASE RIDE

GOT TO TREAR AND RAN INTO A BARRIER ON THE OLD BRIDGE

KATHLEEN MADE IT OVER THE ICE FALL
WITHOUT THE USE OF ROPES

HAD TOO MANY PORK PRODUCTS AT THE LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE

RAN INTO A LOT MORE SNOW ON THE WAY HOME

WE ENDED UP WITH 100K OF GRAVEL
WITH LIGHT SNOW FOR THE ENTIRE RIDE
STINGING EYES
SEEING THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE THE ONLY PROBLEMS
A GREAT DAY WITH FRIENDS

RICHARD'S SAD STORY

FROM RICHARD GILMORE'S
SPRING TRAINING CAMP IN EUROPE

Hey this is the first day without drugs.I have a cracked helmet, scratched frame and a hole in my jersey.
We hope to get many more details of this adventure/misadventure

Who is that masked man?

Could it be Levi, Chris, Lance? No but they have great cold weather gear. 2 hours 20 mins of gravel in 20 degrees weather this weekend and still comfortable. I heard we've had a record number days of snow cover this winter. No wonder I was getting cabin fever. Come on spring!

FROSTY GRAVEL RIDING - MONDAY

- THE CREW -

MEETING AT OUR FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP
KNOWING THAT IT WAS FOGGY

BUT NO IDEA OF JUST HOW FOGGY
SOME OF THE SNOW DRIFTS WERE ABOVE OUR HEADS

I can't think of a better way to celebrate one of the most important days of the year.
The life of the Martin Luther King.
A day of no cards, no feasts, no gifts, no shopping, no traveling
A day of celebrating peace and freedom.
Thanks MLK

FOGGY AND FROSTY

WITH A STOP IN NEW HARTFORD
TENDERLOINS AND FRIES WERE JUST THE THING TO THAW THINGS OUT

GOT ANOTHER 40 MILES IN THE LEGS
