Summer

 Even though we had a weak winter I still had trouble waiting for the snow to melt enough to get to the high country trails. Sean, Bobby and I had a blast on the super flowy downhills of CHS today.
 Oldpa was our hero last Monday when he met Bobby and I at Sandbar to shuttle us out. He had fun throwing bait in the water all morning while we pedaled from my house. 30+ miles 5000+ calories. I couldn't have made the climb out.
 Post crash. 
 Pre crash
 Sandbar is one of my favorite DH trails. You can see Grizz kid did a little improvement here on this rock drop. It used to be straight down off the rock Bobbies back tire is on. I had probably the worst ride on this trail so far. I smacked into everything. I flew off the trail. I had a blast!
I even watched some roadies take off from Sonora.

More pics

 We bought the professional photos from the Sea Otter. Zazoosh had photographers hidden all over the different courses. These two are of the XC course on Sunday.

 Here I am coming off the only log drop on the DH.
 Gage rolling one of the bigger jumps toward the top of the DH.
 He had good form he just needs more practice.
 I took Brandon out for a "ride" on Crandel Peak. I don't think he appreciated the rocky climb, but he had a blast on the down hill on the other side.
 Gage got clipless pedals and shoes for his birthday. Here he is learning to clip in and out without falling(hopefully).
 Just like regular bike shoes only smaller.
Random shot on the DH. I almost look like I'm going fast, good photographer.
