Your group has some fantastic pictures, I especially like the ones of
the bikes and riders hanging out at Cannell Station.
BTW, you're a much better man than I. I can't imagine escorting such a
large group of riders with such varying skills down Cannell.
We only had a group of 4, and between my out of shapeness, Porter's
respiratory problems in the first half of the ride, and some small
mechanicals it was definitely a long day. Of the four of us only Bill
O'Neil was fresh enough to go back and do it again if he had had the time.
