Galbraith is in that issue twice, if no one else noticed that. At the start of the bike review section, there is a photo of someone riding the rock on Cedar Dust.

For those of you who DO NOT have a subscription or HAVE NOT had a chance to purchase the latest issue of bike mag. Here's a short clip that I took the time to cut out and scan for your viewing pleasure. If you're super hard core, go buy the mag because there's another photo of Cedar Dust and I do not feel like tearing pages out of my new mag for you unobservant readers.

The tall boy ride is a fun institution, but it may be dying.  The original crew has a harder time making it out these days... kids, work, adult crap.  The next generation needs to help pick things up. 

Also, a little gender balancing would be nice.  Diversity is a good thing.  As the picture shows, Angi is more than carrying her weight (two big beers in the bottle cages!).

Ha....that's funny.  Who's got tickets to the gun show?  Courtney calls that shirt "crouching tiger, hidden ugly".   WTF? 

Darkgoo, I hear ya.  I'll be out tomorrow night.  My wife's gotta get her Trans Am built up so she can rep the SS action on these....can't leave Angi on her own all the time!

Nah, that' looks super fun you guys, I'm hoping to have my TransAm built up this season so I can hit these all mountainers.

I think it has more to do with Vernon Felton moving here.

Edit:  just me and my pups last night....sitting there drinking beers all by ourselves.  It did give me an opportunity to walk down Grasshopper though.  Conditions were stellar on the hill.
