Past Events:
Trail ride at Racush creek all blacks run. Awesome day of wheeling! Kieth, Mike, Chris and I did all of the Red part of Cemetery today including the hill climb out. We had beautiful weather and nice sticky tires all day. After getting through the first part of the trail, i cut the inner side wall of my tire. We changed my tire and one by one we worked up to a stopping point for lunch. (Ps locker dan....none of us used lockers) After lunch we handed to do the hill climb out of the trail. I made it up then it was Chris's turn. I was up at my Jeep when I heard the horrific sound of an axle snap. We were able to get him a little further up the hill before winching the rest of the way out. Mike and keith came up next then we called it a day.
Bowling after Aprils meeting. About 7 of us went out to bowl after the meeting. We bowled one round then just hung out and chatted about good times.
