Another Mammoth MTB Weekend

Back up to Mammoth for another great weekend of Mountain Biking.

I finally rolled the log on "Shotgun."

Tati riding one of the ramps on "Velocity." TLD at Twin Lakes overlook.

Big Head Todd & The Monsters played a concert in the woods. They were awesome!
Mountain biking all day, a concert in the pines, quite normal really. I even got to play a little guitar at LuLu's in the Village.
Warm feet, warm souls, warm hearts.

Phil T & Kime-a-beer Mammoth Mountain Bike Party - Part 4

Now we're gettin' our groove on. From singing to Journey & Bon Jovi, to rippin' up the dance floor, we pretty much took over the place. Tough not to have fun with this group. Talk about lack of inhibitions.
Phil is a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Here, Kim trys to contain him.
Ok, now Doug take's it to a whole new level. Rock on my man, rock on.
Three of the best. Somehow Mike's broken ankle went away after a half dozen cocktails.
Whoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, it's party time. Dinner and cocktails at Hennesey's.

Phil T and Kim.

Dan, Mike, Phil, Doug, Wayne and Boris.
Is this a family portrait?
Lack-a-nookie's for more cocktails. Stay away from Doug R, as he will distribute Red-Bull and Jager like it's going out of style... actually, I think it IS out of style.

Kim and Tati take a break from ripping up the mountain. Both of them are getting really good!
Dale unwittingly rides on a 60 foot log. This is WAY harder than it may appear to be.

Junko's first time ever on a mountain bike, riding one of the bridges on "Seven Bridges" trail.

Phil T & Kime-a-beer Mammoth Mountain Bike Party - Part 1

Our friends Phil and Kim are both moving back east to pursue their MBA's. As a fitting send off a group of us met up at Mammoth, for some mountain biking and a little partying. We all wish the best of luck to them as they start their new journey.
Each day seemed to start at the bagel shop.Junko, Tati, and Kimi with their Woolly friend.
Good friends, good atmosphere, good times.
Phil, Kim, Dan, & Tati. We're sure gonna miss them. "Hold on to memories, but free the soul." - from the song "Let 'em fly" by D.Hallada/L.Dias circa '93
