Saturday was a small gathering of people to officially dedicate the Parcel of Land That NEMBA bought Better known as Vietnam.
I was privledeged enough to be invited and was actually one of the ride leaders .
I took the first group in.
first we had to get to "our" parcel of land . it stared out with 100 Yards of fun loving MUD !!!

It was starting to rain, but not to bad , at least it held off .
my Son was having a blast doing this ride . He was by No means the slowest person there , and he even had to do a little showing off for every one .

and the My Wife was riding with us too

http://home.comcast.net/~maggoeller/bikes/apr30/IMG_5500.jpg

riding a spine

at this point the rain was getting a little worse and I need to get home so we veered off from the rest of the pack

But here is a last shot I got of the group riding away !

Cool thread... I think I may have to link this to our local MTB association... good work on raising the funds and keeping the land open for recreation.

Congrats to you guys. Great job. And the pics are awesome. Fun to see Watson on a 'normal' bike. Thats pretty rare in public (from what I have seen of him) :)

Yeah and it was also too small for him! they had to scramble to find him a Kona to use. he only flew in a couple of hours before.
