I am happy to report that Hurricane Gustav did not stop the riding this Thursday evening. He spit a bit at Highland Recreation Area but nothing to stop the fun. I am sorry to report that my record crowd from last week must have been reading their newspaper clippings a bit much because they were nowhere to be seen.
The ride itself was enjoyable with a bit of reality jumping out there. Attached are pictures of a memorial on the trail for a fella who died out there five years ago. It is a bummer but it makes you appreciate each moment that much more (can I be more sappy?).
