Nice pictures as always Dustin. That album is huge , was this the day you hurt your ankle, or had you hurt it before?
I hurt it an hour into the first day's ride. And Im really starting to hate this cam I just cant get anything too perfect with it, I can only take pics just to capture what happened, nothing artistic about them. Thanks though. Ah yeah, Will Ernst from Austin had an AWESOME Canon digital SLR out there and should turn out some nice pics later on from the second day's ride. Be sure to check those out. :sonic:
Nice pics, how thick is that disc on that guys echo? I'm thinking of trying it, whered he get it from?
The aluminum disc protecting Kelly's rear chainrings is only 3-4mm wide, definitely no more than 5mm. He machined it himself. Ya missed out Kamil, go down next weekend and ride with Patrick, that'll be awesome.
