A cluster of North Ranchers and South Bayers listen

|
 |
in the shade at the Thunder Mountain parking lot - it's already toasty at 8:00 am!
|
|
 |
after a quick single track we break out onto Dry Creek Road
|
|
 |
we turn onto a trail on the right here
|
|
 |
there goes Jennifer as Bryon fixes his chain suck
|
|
 |
Jim comes up the unsanctioned single track
|
|
 |
time for a break in the shade!

Gail leads the charge down this slightly rocky section of the trail near the beginning of the ride
|

|
|
|
 |
Brad can't resist a little wheelie
|
|
|
|
|
 |
uh-oh, someone has a flat!
|
|
 |
our guide Gail remembers this routine from the previous day!
|
|
 |
time to take in a few sights while we wait
|
|
 |
a lot of flats resulted from a brush with these!
|
|
 |
if you're unlucky enough to fall, one of these might be waiting for you!
|
|
 |
the desert is not a place for those scared of needles!
