Kim, a padded downhiller we don't know, and Matt
Matt has drawn first blood. On himself.
Lunch Break
John has discovered greater cycling efficiency if he doesn't use his toe clips.
Matt, looking for the next dangerous obstacle where he can draw more blood.
Success! Matt has added to his collection of cuts.
Kim at the end of the ride.
John, with the biggest smile of the ride. Butt feels better, doesn't it John?
Matt's final cut collection. Since the last shot he has added a second coating of dirt. Nice touch Matt!
Steve delicately explaining the 30 minute rule to us: After a hard ride you must eat within 30 minutes for the quickest recovery.

That would be Doug and Trish in the background, our fantastic hosts while we were in Salida.
