hypo-thermia on the the 4th of july????

ya thats right i froze my ass off with about 30 other bikers at 2pm at 10,000 feet. it was so cold and wet i almost died. i bet someone did die up there today. lightening, wind, rain, mud, hail. holy shit it was bad.

if you were in the valley all day you saw some light rain and some wind but up in the mtns is was full on epic. i have never been so cold since january. we had the heater in the van turned up full blast, we had numb hands and other body parts. we barely made it down millcreek.

i decided to ride back in the rain and mud just to get back. i passed and left behind over 30 bikers with abandoned bikes on the trails, they were off the trail hiding under bushes and shit. crazy is all i can say. i almost got killed 5 times from lightening just feet from me. i dont know how im alive. its really serious up there today.

check out these pics. from 1 pm. then a few hours later me and spencer were hiding under this tree trying not to get pelted with hail.























this is chans fat cat da-lyla.
