Massive Fallout

Left Royal Oak at 8 with Jim, rode up Rochester Rd for 15 miles right towards Starbucks. Pretty funny, almost felt like riding in Moab - the closer we got to Main Street, the more cars with bikes on them we saw. Quick coffee and snack, and off we rode with 149 other bikers.

Hung out in the back to take some pics, and lost all my fast friends. Got stuck in bike traffic at Bloomer, and finally caught up to a group again on top of the "big hill" at Stony. Joe, Pete, Trails-Edge, the MSU gang and so on.

Quick lap at Addison, including some unintended detours, longer break to chat and get cold after the sweet 7 miles singletrail ride. Then straight back to the Rochester Brewery for some meat. Good times there with friends, followed by another 1.5 hour sunset ride back to the Dolppinator loft.

150 people on a brisk fall day on MTB's. Nice work, MMBA. Thanks.
