Trail Report...8/9/09 - Big River "Middle" from West

- Place: West Greenwich, RI
- Riders: Alex, Greg, Patrick, Sara, Spencer, T, OMMB
- Distance: 6.8 mi
- Weather: overcast, but nice
- Temp: 70
- Humidity: nil
- Pollen Level: niller
- Trail Conditions: good but a few mud holes (good thing, otherwise Greg would be sad)
- Technical Level: intermediate
- Hills: 15%
- Bug Report: nillest
- Wildlife: just 4 motocross dudes stalking us
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: 1 yikes by Greg (I'm sure mud was involved somehow), 1 yikes by Sara (sorry I missed it), rumor of 1 whoops by Alex, 1 oh holy sheet by Teri (the up side of the ramp was great, but her front wheel "slipped' off the down side ending in a gnarly endo...yeah, ass over "T" kettle!!!)
- Notes: we followed a track from the OMMB archive that was well handled by all...even the rookier rookie! Another stellar group ride! All had a blast (or the smiles hid the grimaces)

Tidbits:
1) today marks one month until a 4th anniversary for T and OMMB!
2) a welcome back to Alex...still got it (and he even rivaled Greg in the mud lovers category)
3) tough ride for our newest, but she got through the whole ride with a great attitude!
4) we used T's Nuvi 205 to log this trail, it tracked great from inside the Camelback.
5) today's rewards...trail head brews from S & S and a clam boil at the home base.
