Day 2 Late AM

Having conquered the first alt, we are really feeling our Wheaties! One of the fun things about the weekend, was it was sprinkled with knowledge. Last night, Jimmy Lewis was giving out one line advice, in an effort to curb undue enthusiasm. Basically, Jimmy was saying that the difference between great riders and ordinary riders is differential. He furthered to say that fast riders are not substantially faster, but their total range is. Meaning, they can ride slow stuff slower and fast stuff faster. So don't aim to be the fastest out there.

As we drop onto tarmac, Blaster is focused. He has this little monster inside that just.has.to.win.


God only knows what we are racing, but it wants the win. We gallop down options 2 and 3 with no issues. Congrats, we have won! We are only 90 mins early for lunch, and the third/fourth riders to arrive here.

The same folks that have been catering dinners are ferrying lunch out the half way point on the trek. Yes, more yummy food in the middle of BFE! Smoked salmon and chicken sandwiches.

Plenty of time to take happy snaps of later riders

















Big Bear Pavilion has a nice pavilion, outhouse and the sound of falling water. Time to go investigate!





This poor KTM got tired in the parking area..
