Mystery Weigh-In

Tuesday night's ride. originally billed as a mystery ride turned into just that a mystery. It was a mystery what ride we were going to do.

The ride turned into a magical mystery tour with some guys riding one route and others riding another route. All 8 of us rode up to the top of KC and enjoyed the view of Rossland on a hot August night(see pictures in album at right). Most of us rode down Pale Ale while a couple of rock and rollers tackled the ever rocky KC Ridge Trail. We met at the bottom of Pale Ale and continued down Old Farts Delight until we reached the up track of Green Door.

At this point there was nearly a call put in for a truck to pick us up in Warfield but wiser heads prevailed with the rationale that we should be able to climb this if we hope to be able to survive in Sun Valley, so up we went. There were a few buckets of sweat left on the trail, some of us looked like we had fallen in a creek. When questioned about why we looked so wet the response was that we had fallen in a creek, only problem was that there was no creek, must of been a mystery creek.

With the climb under our belts we headed off to Brett Ferguson's for a little refreshment. Brett and Nancy had put on a spread for us. We had smokies, popcorn, potato salad and of course, cold beers. What a great way to end a mystery ride. Thanks Nancy and Brett.

Just before our feast we decided to use Brett's scale to shed some light on the mystery of whose bike was the lightest or heaviest. After the weigh in I believe (correct me if I am wrong) the Prez won with a weight of 40lbs and the treasurer lost with a weight of 32lbs, everyone else was in between.

All in all a great hot August night.
