A bunch of us went up to Duluth yesterday to see how riding is done in Duluth... huge thanks to Kurt for putting together this ride and for being such a great host! You guys have some very technical and very cool trails. It was a pleasure to get this chance to ride with our northern friends.

I think Adam Nordell takes the win for the best fall (and the best tuck & roll) - hope someone posts some pics of that here soon!

I got a couple of photos of a few people riding before my camera battery died. I'll post em' up soon.

Thanks again Kurth & Company!

Yup, thanks for everything Kurt, except for maybe a couple of the big uphills. Huge thanks for the use of the shower so we didn't have to ride the whole way home with the windows down. Cousin J, thanks for washing my shoes.

Looks like a good ride. Too bad I didn't know about the ride earlier, I was staying right next to Hartley the entire weekend. Did a nice hike Saturday but didn't see anyone riding. I saw some of you at Fitgers that night though. Hope some of you enjoyed some double-hopped IPA!!:banana: I took a growler of the Oatmeal Stout home and fell asleep with it in my arms.

Oh, I remember doing this trick myself a while back. My sternum has never been the same...

thanks for the video, I've never seen a video of me crashing before, maybe because that was my first...

thanks for letting Shad use the shower :crazy:
