I just woke from my turkey induced coma....nice pics from Dobbins Overlook!
It was a great time to be out with Saguaro and his riding buddies (one with a lovely DeRosa) and hundreds of other riders at 6:30am! Quite a sight as a sea of LED-lit bikes take over downtown Phoenix. We got a couple of admiring views and comments from CF and aluminum riders for our C&V steel. It was nippy out, but warmed up by the end.
I deposited my customary Rock at the Summit....Saguaro forgot again this year to drop his rocks and now has two to his credit! That's three next year!
Thanks goes out to Saguaro for his patience as I slugged it out with my C&V gearing up the mountain. Downhill was as exciting as I remembered it back in January. Unfortunately, my camera broke and no gratuitous high speed photos of us this time.
Happy Turkey Day Jeff!
