Vincent Hengstberger Memorial Ride 2012 (yes. already!!)
WE MADE IT! It worked out great. We are going to be in the same house as the CT crew! She asked a group that was staying one night there if they would trade with us. She is taking the $ hit for us, only charging us $30 a night each insted of $50, and we will all be in the same place. CT guys, we are trucking to Little Coal tomorrow to meet up with Jim and his son to ride. My enclosed trailer will be at the shack with our secret weopons inside. We will see you guys in the evening!
Yes, they really do let me drive the Train!

She said you had the other 3 rooms of the 4, which sleep 4,4, and 3. We should be good. The one Dustin and I are in only has two beds.

Now that's a familiar looking building! Nice accomodations for sure.
Kinda sucks I'll be on a different trail system this year, but I'm with y'all in spirit. I'll be raising my beer high from Ashland for Vince & the rest of you.

Thanks for sharing Jim. You're a talented singletrack rider! I hope you'll post more vids like these.
I had a crappy ride on Friday & a great ride on Saturday. (Long story.) I thought about you guys & Vince more than once when my crew was checking out the Pocahontas system. I raised a 16oz Miller Lite in salute on Saturday night.

Brandon and I had a ball riding with the whole crew!
Too bad we had to pull out Sunday AM but unavoidable, I was glad we started on Wednesday so we ended up with 4 days on the trails and plenty of riding . . . Brandon's meter picked up nearly 20 operating hours.
A special thanks to everyone for making Brandon feel welcome and comfortable, even though he's a youngster he enjoyed just being himself, the trails, and the company. Next year we're going to rent cabins because we both ended up wanting to hang with all of you after the rides even though it was nice staying with my parents. He really enjoyed riding with a big group and some fast riders (getting tired of waiting for ole Dad all the time).
Jim Blais did a terrific job being setting the pace and picking the trails, he managed to work in a great mix of easy and challenging stuff. Nice job herdin' us cats!!
Already can't wait until the next go around!
