It was a perfect day for a ride at Blankets Creek. The weather was sunny and warm. After introductions and AOC red tape, we all did one loop on the Mosquito Flats trail for warm-up. Jacquie got a rude introduction into the world of mountain biking when she crashed and flipped over the handlebars (a.k.a an endo). Her hands were pretty scraped up, but she showed a lot of toughness by getting back on the bike right after getting patched up. After the initial loop, Pete, Todd, Hilke, and AJ left for the advanced loop. Charlie, Jacquie and I did a couple more laps on the easy trail. My camera has a feature where it takes several pictures in rapid succession and I made good use of it to get some nice action shots. After the ride, it was time for the food. Pete brought his grill and did a great job as chef. We cooked burgers, hot dogs, marinated veggie skewers, scallops, asparagus, and some vegetarian brats. We also had all of the traditional cookout sides. It was quite a spread! For dessert Kim provided some home-made brownies. MMMmmmmm! We were all very full and tired by the end.
