RAMHADAB Volume 4

So, it was another successful RAMHADAB. We had a record number of riders at 14. It was beautiful weather, but a bit warm (actually it was HOT). Most of us drank about six liters of water on the six hour ride. Besides a couple flats and a broken spoke, there were no mechanical issues.

The lake at the end was enjoyed by many. I don't remember that many people going swimming or spending so much time in the water. We don't know if was the heat or the lack of a long weekend, but I'm sorry to say, we were unable to kick the keg. Although delicious, the Cottrell was tough in the heat and humidity. I tried my best by starting at 9:30 Sunday morning while helping Sleepy Gonzalez cook breakfast, which came out wonderfully.

After the ride, we went swimming, then went back to home base. Once there, we cooked, made a fire and watched some UFC. We kept the fireworks in the closet because of the lack of rain for the past month.

Some disc golf and croquet was played on Sunday. We also tried our best to cool off in the stream.

Make sure to join us for Volume 5 next year. It'll be a big year for the core riders due to it being 1/2 a decade of rides. Hope to see everyone return to join us next year.
