Jim starts down the stairs on the novel section, henceforth to be known as "Fred's Wrong-Way Trail" because of all the hike-a-bike we did, mostly pushing our bikes up the steep, rocky trail.
|
|
|
Jim is most of the way down the steps...
|
|
|
He made it to the bottom with no dabs, but normally he waves at the camera when he rides by.

Susan rides through some daisies
|
|
|
Lisa and Richard aren't far behind
|
|
|
Susan demonstrates what how to ride when going the wrong way on Fred's Wrong-Way Trail.
|
|
|
Richard decides he's going to give it his all...
|
|
|
He made it around the bend, but what happened after that I didn't see. The section in this photo is about 1/3 of the way to the top of this rocky climb.

More clue-seekers coming down the hill towards the flower patch

See the rider on the overlook in the middle of the photo?
|
|
|
Now everyone's on the overlook and has their clues.

Another hiding place for clues

Graham glides up past the poppies

"What do you suppose THAT means?"
|
|
|
Riders arrive as Jim finds the clue behind the bush. He's not bashful about announcing it to the world!

|
|
Counting off the slips of paper so that everyone gets one
|
|
|
More riders arrive...
|
|
|
Brad dismounts (I guess?)
|
|
|
A more organized group of riders you'll never find!
|
|
|
Brad and Lea plan a course of action

a double stream crossing early on in the hunt
|
|
|
Jim decides not to ride the concrete
|
|
|

|
|
|
