The roads and weather were fantastic all day. No pics from me as I didn’t carry my camera. Click on the links below for splendid photos of the day from others. My goal was to limit idle time today and cameras encourage idle time. We rode through many picture worthy views today. The lighting was amazing with sun rays shooting through gaps between the clouds lighting up mesas and cliffs. We were in big country today.
I nailed my goal finishing the route on my 32×18 with 107 miles, 9577 ft total ascent in 8:35 with only 21 mins idle time. That’s really good as I had 2 minor mechanicals counted in that time.
Finisher list so far:

Jeff Kerkove
Chris Plesko

Kurt Refsnider
Chris, Dan and Kurt did one of the loops backwards, which is harder so they get extra Camp credit for that…
If you finished there was a 40% chance your name was Dave ;-)

Awesome loop, Lynda. Thanks for a fantastic weekend!
Gotcha
Congrats! Two of our group from So Cal cut it short due to some doubt as to the correct route but still hit 90 miles each. I flipped around at Desperation and then rode back to the Racetrack and sent some time there, mud free this time. We all had a great time! Thanks so much.

That was a whopper! Really great to ride with Lynda (until she dropped us like bad habit), Jeff, Chris, Kurt, and Dan. Woohoo, hangin with the youngins.
Thanks Lynda! I had a fantastic time and you BET I’ll be back next year. :) See you guys at 24OP!
I had a great time. Wish I coulda hung around and tackled the hundie. Next time! Thanks for organizing us once again. I’m already looking forward to ’10.
Awesome times!
Congrats you guys. Looks like a fun time and glad to see the weather cooperated.
I am ready to come back to St. George. :)
Well done everyone and especially D&L for organizing the event and keeping the attitude positive. You guys are awesome!

Hey D&L,
Thanks so much for putting this on. What a pleasure of getting out of25 degree inversions. No complaints about the warm rain. Sunday was fantastic! I started early and got to watch the sun rise at Starvation point. It was bonus points watching Ya’ll blast by throughout the day. I finished in the rain that night, just before the real monsoons hit.
Thanks again for showing us your backyard playground,
Dave K
DaveK, Great job! We’ve been wondering about you. Sunday was a fantastic day. Glad you liked it.
DaveK, it was great to see you out on the big loop grinning as usual. I’m glad you made it through the whole thing, but too bad the rain got you. Until next time…
Big news! Cathleen and I are having a baby! She’s due in August. Looks like you two have been having bike abusing fun. Laterz -Sparky
