BOOT DAYS COMES TO A CLOSE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Kona rep Willie Warren with the mad skills riding the front wheelie across the wood.
This years version of Boot Days in Eagle, which was hosted by John Shipp of the Dusty Boot along with his staff, came to a close yesterday after a weekend of bike demos, music, food and amazing weather. There were bike related clinics for kids and women along with group rides, one of which had over 30 kids participate, the future looks strong for mountain biking in Eagle! One of the killer highlights of the weekend was Willie Warren, our local Kona rep pullin some smokin trials riding maneuvers for the kids and adults alike, he's pictured above riding the front wheelie across the northshore style tetter-totter. Thanks to the Moyers for their help with the kids, and Charlie Brown for doing his maintanence clinics.

And, it's mom's 82nd birthday. She got a digital pic frame for her surprise this year to which she wondered "how did you get all those pictures in there", to which I simply rolled my eyes on the other side of the phone and wished her happy birthday. Anyone who could have survived AND thrived after raising me as a child and an adult should be put in the parenting hall of fame. You may find this hard to believe, but I was a bit of a pain in the ass growing up.

There was also a very LARGE posse of locals that apparently torched some people on the Burns loop yesterday, not sorry I missed that one, way more fun drinking a frosty one on a perf day in Eagle.

Elgee feels like this 24/7

The end to a perfect weekend, riding killer Eagle Singletrack at sunset in 65 degree weather.
