Mayhay encouraging a bonking Rob (ntntasfmb20)
Wow what a pretty awesome and tiring weekend. Saturday it was too wet to mtb so a nice group of us headed out and rode the
Queen B loop, minus the queen b crowd. Buddy (the leg breaker), Spot Paul and I all on Fixies. We had a nice 2 hour ride. The rest of the group was: Jan, Chuck (FIL), Amy (FFA), Rob (NTNTAMFMB20), E-town, Diane (monkey) and Wes the conqueror. Ride was great, my legs were kinda beat down after 2 hours, but it was fun, I only almost threw myself over the bars once.
Saturday night we had few friends over to share some good food and good beverages. It was a really fun. I appreciated so many folks coming out to toast last season, and to share each other’s company.
Sunday we had a mighty fine group head over to Fairhill for a spell. We had a late start to allow for some extra hang over time, but still got out before 10:00. Once in the heart for the park we split into 2 smaller groups, but all ended up together again at the end of the ride. That was really cool.
I got to lead one group and had Todd (el presidente) breathing down my neck the entire ride. I’ll admit I pushed a little harder than I like to this time of year. Wes the conqueror said to me later, “yeah I was surprised you went as fast as you did.” To which I responded, “yeah, me too.”
the group today was:
Todd (el presidente), Mayhay, Wes the conqueror, Jan, Rob (ntntamfmb20), Bob, Green Trek John, E-town, Spot Paul, Amy (FFA), Kurtee, Jaime (world foremost expert on rip currents), Dan, Fort James, Diane (monkey), Fitzy, Alan the cleaner , Joe ,Fitzy, and yours truly Fatmarc.
Diane and Amy drank nothing but water Saturday Night.
We finished up and enjoyed some of the copious amounts of left over food and beer. It was pretty awesome. Mayhay brought h
Joe brought an amazing buffalo chicken dip.
is espresso machine from Pittsburgh and we all enjoyed express shots before and after the ride. That was super sweet. All in All 
a pretty great day. I’ll admit my legs hurt a lot right now. I’m bummed we didn’t make Elk Neck this weekend, but the riding was supreme.

Marc - thanks for the ride leads and the couch and party venue.
Mayhew - thanks for the espresso and for pimping me while I was down. I'm glad the camera caught it because I was clueless.
Way to end the season!
Great party, great rides. A special thanks goes out to the hikers at Fair Hill that commented on my river crossing with the words: You must be the slow German.
Thanks guys.
I gained a lot of respect for the long-haired, pot-smoking, mountain-biking hippie crowd. My legs hurt. Badly.
And to make matters worse, I caught myself looking at the MTB category on weightweenies last night. That can't be a good sign.

PS. Is it just me, or does Mayhew look evil?
