Great weather and riding down on the CT shore this last Saturday. My 10 year old son was the photographer, and got a few nice shots of the fun.

I don't have any more photos, now. I am at work...these are the best of the photos, though.

I look at these photos and just wish I was back there (get me outta this cubicle!!!!!)...it was a perfect day. Really great group of guys. Very challenging riding...PERFECT.

If you look on the horizon in the last photo, you can see Long Island.

Yup, for 10yrs old, your son took some great pics!!

Thanks for all the praise on the photos. I'll definitely tell my son. He had a great time shooting pictures and hanging out with all the riders.

I'm on break for a week now and riding everyday, you should come down man...bring your son. I think he'll like the city and the riding is pretty tight as well..




the weather looks good for this weekend as well..

Where exactly on the shore is that. I might be able to go there some time.

I really liked the pics.

Here's a link to the State Park's web site: http://dep.state.ct.us/stateparks/parks/hammonasset.htm

The rocks are at Meig's Point (just follow the signs once inside the park...very easy to find).

It's in Madison, CT.

I've got to work this weekend.

I took my son to Boston a few years ago (2nd Bike Battle in Boston). He was kind of young, and hated the subway! I could probably change his mind, though. He really liked the fun at Hammo. He also liked your nickname, DMAN!!!

I think it is an Echo (but I could be wrong). Anyway, it is repainted/stickered for sponsorship, I believe. Maybe someone else can identify it.

None of these pictures are of me, because I was riding on pebbles, and had at least one foot down all the time! Old dog trying to learn new tricks!

what kind of camera do you use?
john trials

Camera: nothing special...It's just a Nikon Coolpix. I bought it about 1.5 years ago. I think it is only 2.4 Megapixels (Coolpix 2400, I think).

It was just a really sunny day, so pretty good lighting. Used 'sport' mode so the motion wasn't blurry.
