Great story. I would only expect a little “enhancement” to make the story it a little more interesting. However, I did confirm from other sources who were riding with you guys that your story of Ms Wrongway was dead on. Of course they said she really rang her bell and had to be excorted back to the campground. Going there this week…god willing.

Most of the stories are indeed true with exception to Paul’s comment about it being like a Bible retreat; and Jeep got caught behind Mr. Shortman, albeit I got hung up behind him longer but did enjoy seeing him melt before the ride ended; and finally Denise wasn’t really lost…I think she might have considered it a good idea when Mike finally rode into the finish area after searching for her for nearly an hour. Good thing Mike is a mellow guy.

Great time, superb trails and wonderful friends.

Now to clarify, I did not get lost once the entire trip. Shiggy was only 90% sure that I was with him…I don’t think he knew I was a woman. I am not sure if he is a man either. He didn’t even know what bike I was riding for gods sake.

Ryan – I’m not talented enough to vwrite fiction. I’m all about truth or, as Stephen Colbert noted during the Bush years, “truthiness” – a general gut feeling about what is real.

Fortunately, I have colorful friends and a gift for being able to determine what they are thinking without having them verbalize it.

All I have to do is write it down.

Great song choice too Jason! I can’t count how many times I’ve been kept up all night at college to a mosh of neighbors stomping on the ceiling above my apt. because this song possessed their drunken souls!

Very entertaining story Jeep! I have to give a lot of credit to the characters for playing their parts, but you know how to turn even the most minor situations into an epic memory, regardless whether the actor wished it to be immortalized! I’m glad you guys had fun!
