Friday March 27th Dave O'brien Ranch Ride

Mr. Sandbag will be heading out with us from his pad at the Ranch at 6AM.  The ranch is on Clarke Canyon Rd. off of LOVR and we will hop into MDO for awhile and then climb out with the classically brutal Stand Up Challenge.  This is a great ride with a lot of elevation and I can only imagine how gorgeous those green valleys and hills will be tomorrow morning!!! Torque is riding there from SLO and will be on the corner of LOVR and Foothill at 530 sharp.  If you wanna carpool or need directions, post and we will figure something out.  Seeya out there!

Great Sat ride today

Question: How many guys does it take to put a cattle fence back up after passing through?
Kyle leading the charge! He let out a big "YES!!!! I did shooters!" He was rockin and fired up. Great job Kyle! Cant believe a 10 year old is doing these rides.....aweesome!
Cade feeling it.......Using that Enduro like it should be!

Misty Morning view back towards SLO at the base of Shooters. Beautiful....the hills are alive!



Great ride, great fellowship.......good times.
The rain overnight made it interesting at first with the mud cakes we had build on our tires, but once on shooters it was much better. Made it more interesting/fun.
Those of you who said you would try to make it, but didnt, we missed you out there!

Who's got the Monday morning ride call?
Rabbit....... You back?
Hobbit.......or should I say, crazy army roll crash guy........you in?
Riley.........step up!

New BLOG Header

A huge thanks to Garth for his contribution to the blog header. Really fired up on the addition. We'll work on getting it wider and narrower. I dig the "O" as the tire in the Title. Very creative! Thanks again Garth.

Welcome Garth Porterfield

I am fired up to welcome a new rider to the group. Garth Porterfield - a fellow entrepreneur and friend - has decided to step up. We rode together Friday morning, he rode yesterday, and he joined this morning. I am enjoying his passion and enthusiasm.

Here is a pic from our Friday ride.

Garth - we are looking forward to you riding with us more. Those legs are already starting to come.

Your "name" will come too...soon enough.

Have a great Lord's Day all....
