As some of you may recall, I wanted to do it all on
my birthday. I wanted to ride with the yahoos,
spend time with Cat and share the ambience of Thorpe
with my mom, sister and step-father.  Well, I can
honetly say that it worked!!:)

We stopped at Cat's sister's house, were Cathy got to
spend some time tormenting her nephew. When Cat's
sister saw the inside of my truck (filled with clothes, papers
drills, shoes, helmets, cameras, etc.) she said, " God, we're
sending Cathy in a time capsule." Whatever that means.
 

We started the trip with a stop at the bonfire with a bunch of my mountain-biking friends.

The annual ride starts from the base of the Jim Thorpe Campgroud.

Lunch is always a good time during a ride in the Strippin's.

Sometimes it's nice just to stop and enjoy the view.
