Stoney Run -- July 5th
 
Well a small band of us got together and went to GWNF outside of Stuarts Draft on a trail called Stoney Run. This is a fun trail that made all of us get up on 3 wheels a number of times. there's plenty of rocks and flex points. we didn't stop as much as i'd hope for action shots, but maybe next time.

Keith up front in the blue blazer found out once we got off the trail that he had torn up his front wheel bearing and had to leave it parked at a local gas station over night. he only lives a few miles from me so i gave him a ride home, and the next day he went back and got it fixed there in the parking lot. he said he finally got home last night around 11ish.

i tore my front drive shaft boot and am now wondering what i should do about that. can i leave it alone? or does it have to be replaced?


but anyway, here are some pictures from the day.

interestingly... only the tread on the tire is in focus... gives it a neat effect i think
