Yeah…..think you’re tough? Let’s get ready to RUMMMMMMBBLLLLLE!

The annual May long weekend dirtbag invasion is upon us. This year with more babies.  And also a cute fuzzy spider.

I thought I’d start things off with a bit of an XC adventure, just to be different.  Unlike the coast, the XC here is actually pleasant.  Especially with the Balsamroot in full flower.

“You know, madness is a lot like gravity… sometimes all you need is a little push.”

**Bonus points if you know where the above quote comes from.

The payoff for the little climb comes pretty quick.  Unless you don’t like carving a banked slalom down a a gully with little jumps everywhere.

With something like 25 people in attendance, it was a shuttlefest free-for-all this afternoon up Powers.

Multiple laps went down.  Here’s Colin shreddin’ Crazy Train for the 15th time today.

Welcome to ground zero.

OK, random pics of Powers Creek.  Thanks to Seth for the rad pics.  I want a Nikon….
