Karl and Carol...

The Compound.

You know the six degrees of separation rule. Well this weekend it befitted us really well. And as such we got to met and joke with some of our sports icon/ dignitaries. Which sounds weird to say because they were so cool, and so down to earth. Just folks who like to ride their bikes in the woods. But I digress, LWebb, who rides for IF, had a teammate Carol, who is tight with Karl. Karl is a cool writer/ mountain bike Icon masters racer who was on the Bontrager Wheelworks Masters Team, who of course was headed up by Keith Bontrager. Yeah, that Bontrager. And you know having one Mountain Bike Hall of Famer at your camp site isn't enough so Elaine Tierney, one of the founders of Dirt Rag, and most recently the feminine frames calendar was there for support too. So you get the picture, Rock Star IF team, Hall of Fame Masters Team, and us- Some Dudes from Delaware. It was pretty damn cool. I would be remiss if I didn't mention all the really cool guys from Dirty Harry's bike shop in Pittsburgh that were there helping us out. TJ, Charlie and Justin wrenched for everyone, and helped to make sure everyone's ride was ready to go. All three teams came together to form a super conglomerate. Which was really cool. Between us I think we had more stuff than anyone, and if one group forgot something, the other group definitely had them covered. It was a beautiful thing.
