 | Comments: |
Fast hard packed trial car to car. I bare booted up the north while Franco used Hillsounds. He felt that if he did it over he probably would have bare booted. On the way down we both used Hillsounds and it felt like the right choice. Lots of folks out today on this frosty start morning. 2 pairs of over nighters in -5 weather. Turned out to be a beautiful day with lots of great folks. |
