Poker Ride

Palos poker ride was early this year.. The weather was actually worse than in previous years.. We all collected swag for slaving out on the Palos trail system.. Ha Ha- Awesome job by Sram to hook up all of us. There were others but I would prefer to just mention the super hookup... Well okay Richards is cool too. They always take care of us too. Thanks to all the sponsors who help out CAMBr every year. All of us have spent hundreds of hours helping maintain trails in the Palos area and its great that CAMBr can figure a way to "repay" their workers with awesome bike parts... The ride was wet but we were able to ride and have some fun. Derby and bike toss and then Bike Fire! I love Bike Fire.

Blue Mounds

Burak, Stan, Tim, Tony and Bruce headed to Blue Mounds and it was fantastic. We all met at Woodfield Mall and traveled together. Grabbed some grub at Subway in Madison and went for a ride.. Blue Mound is a technical riders dream. Rocks and roots everywhere. With a cool grown over downhill course. The new side of Blue Mound (overload) was not so much fun-lots of climbs with not much fun downhills. Its a work still in progress. I guess maybe going the other direction would have been a little more fun. The traffic getting back was awful but what are you going to do.
