Hilton outride 28 July '07

About 25 Mavericks met at the Crossways Hotel for the outride. We split into 2 groups with Kim leading the faster bunch. Kim has not been on his bike for a couple of weeks and was in a "woes" mood so he took us waaaaayyyyy into Cedara. Of the 14 that started the ride with him, only 9 finished together. But man we had an interesting ride. We rode some of the new singletrack that has been cut for the Cowan House Classic and it is sweeeeetttt. Maverick Hilton has taken responsibility for a certain section of the trail for Cowan House and if you go past the shop you will start to get an idea what Gordon has install for you. Part of our ride on Saturday was through a section of the forest where Kim said there were a trail, but .... This photo of him is exiting his "trail" ... not bad for a ballie.
On our way back, we crossed a dam wall. Some of us rode it, some attempted to ride it an fell into the dam (Andrew) and had a very, very cold and wet ride to his car, and them China, got such a big skrik when Andrew fell into the dam, he stepped of the wall on the high side and slid all the way to the bottom with his bike in his hand ... he managed to get back to the top without to much damage ... a very shaken China ... with some scratches. Here is China before he tried to surf the dam wall:
