TNSS

We'd just started up a new internet forum for the regular Tuesday Night riders, and had to meet in the lot a little early to discuss forum details. Gotta love wifi at the trailhead.

Then Brad had to change his (chain-dropping) cog. Twice.

The regulars begin to arrive. Davis adjusts MaryAnn's bike.

Cope assists with light setup.

Post-ride, Ben (Rev) and Mark (Flatline) discuss the finer points of something or other.

And Grumbles breaks out the didgeridoo!

The nice warm night brought out the regulars, and then some.

Doh! Another failed attempt to capture Brad's tramp stamp.

This pic is a link to a (very dark) movie, in which you can hear the didgeridoo behind the babbling of the crowd.

Chris deadpans.

Now that's how you ice it down.

Ben is impressed.

Toobs gives it a shot...

but comes up short.

Ben pours the coldest one ever.

Jay, our resident hand model for very small things, shows off this small bottle.

Noone shall vacate their bladder unharassed!

Straight out of a Bond movie...

Brad's got the Dizzy cheeks, but not the technique.

Hey, Nanna Hill is from down under... maybe he'll show us how?

But first, Britt gives it a go.

Go, Britt, go! Hahahaha!

This is as close as we got to forcing Nanna to play the didgeridoo for us. He was having none of it.

The dog spies the jerky...

Then gets blocked by Britt's butt!

But eventually prevails,

and carries his prize away from those who would steal it back.

The Grumbles stash.

So we're sitting there in the parking lot, and this guy (not this guy, but another guy) rides by on a tiny folding bike with tiny wheels (this bike). We look at each other like "No way!", and get up to go check him out by his car. Turns out he's travelling here from Belgium (I think), and read up on this trail enough to come ride it on his folding bike, at night! We were impressed, and Brad got to do a hotlap on the bike, even.

Go, Brad, go!

This is not a hard mountain bike trail, but seriously! That had to be a challenge, especially at night!

Jay and Ryan (Flee) imagine the feat while Gabor loads his bike back into his rental car....

and then joined us for a refreshment.

Jaws, and his dog "Oh-oh!"
