Independence Weekend

Not much going on,  still trying to sort out computer issues. I'm also trying to figure out why the hell my iPhone won't sync with my Mac computer....  It did when i purchased it.... It was cause of all of my computer woes,  now they wont connect...

Thursday was a after work Swamp Rabbit ride with the wife.

Friday evening was trail work with Jerret, Josh and Cecil

we're making some good progress on the Downhill Course.  News about the race coming this week!

Sunday left Greenville and it was 97*F ;  got up to DuPont  and it was an unbearable 74*F .  there had been just enough rain to keep the dust down.  Man it was a nice break from the sweltering heat here in the South.   Pulled into the lot at Cascade Lake got dressed, unloaded the bike, talked to Valerie who had just finished a ride... then i'm looking around  "ah Shit, where is my helmet?"  oh it was in the basement after our Swamp Rabbit ride with Sonya  "dammit!"  Valerie offered me her helmet, but there was no way my melon would fit... So  i decided to hit a easier set of trails and enjoy an easy ride...  This was a test ride using the new iPhone and MyTracks Ap.   for some reason  it plotted the ride on two maps...  hmmm i'm still trying to figure this technology out.
