The gang – atop Old Glory.
Roughly 120 riders enjoyed a magnificent clear and cool day of riding on the Seven Summits trail yesterday. I rode with a group of friends, stopping for beers and snacks along the way, making the detour to the summit of Old Glory for a wild card, testing our skills and picking up cards for our poker hands, grinding up the climbs and ripping the downhills. Nearly 7 hours, 6 flats (Miles had 4) and 7800′ of vertical later we were treated to beers, a shuttle to the Lions campground for more beers, burgers, prizes, and socializing with a great bunch of keen riders. Brent won a bike frame with five eights. Thanks to everyone involved – I’ll see you all next year.
