They have a band tonight and its a BYOB thing on the lawn at the BW.

The only color Yellow that Duplicolor offers in the brake caliper paint is a pretty close match, so no mixing. Its a little too "yellow" but not noticable enough in my book. I also used the Duplicolor white on the bezel.

Regarding the speed of the pics, I always dump my camera card as soon as I get back just so that I have an empty card for the next round. It helps me keep my pics organized. I have over 15k pics on my desktop so I have been forced to develop a system. I dump the good ones on my iPhone and show off at the gathering also.

I'm also lucky that I have a decent WiFi connection in my room. I'm staying in the Mains St. B&B and there are only 3 or 4 rooms, not too much traffic. Its been pretty easy to dump them onto my Photobucket page. And, travelling with my family, we are not into staying too late once the alcohol begins to have too much impact on the grown ups.

And, I have to share, its been great and the pics must be shown as we all know the saying..."If there are no pics, it didn't happen"...
Thanks buddy.

I know I've seen a kit at walmart, I might check it out.

I'da pee'd my pants in the pic with the sun fusion with the tire off the ground.

How'd that happen, anyway? Was the trail really off camber or was the front passenger tire up on a rock? Just curious.

Sean
Yeah, my wife was watching with me and about sh!t when she saw that. She has a "thing" for edges. He was the only one who experienced that in the group I watched. I think he had a bit different line, I didn't get the same when I want through it.

But, it was a tricky section, had a bit of a dug out section and if you dropped a wheel in it, it threw the truck toward the edge. Definitely the most technical section of the whole trail...

k9crazy Up and Over Imogene/Ophir on Friday the 13th

After arriving in Ouray on Thursday, I was asked to lead a group up and over Imogene and Ophir passes on Friday morning. It was quite an honor to show up without a truck and be asked to lead a group. Thanks so much to the organizers of the Summit and to the Trail Team for trusting me to lead a ride.

We had a fantastic group of folks on the 9:00 AM ride on Friday morning. We took a zillion pictures of everyone and I'll post up what I can here. Many thanks to the folks with me that day, y'all did a great job and we came through it with no problems at all...even with it being Friday the 13th!

Enjoy the pics!
