Fun team cross ride, well, they are always fun. We climbed to the top of the gunks and then picked up a teammate who lives at the top (he actually lives at the Mountain House), who's very fit right now so we get a fresh guy tearing our legs off right after we've done a tough climb.
The highlight was when a teammate got his new lobster gloves stuck under his brake levers on a fast technical descent, screamed like (exactly like) somebody faking ecstasy, and shot off the side of the trail like a comet. I was sure we were going to have to figure out how to get an ambulance down the trail. We found him about 15 feet off the trail, curled in a ball whimpering, tucked between a big log and a boulder, magically unhurt except for a smashed banana in his pocket, which he was trying to eat. It was completely hilarious.
