The 2009 Black Dog!

Vernon, those are some great pictures! Your captions are even better... It was good seeing you and Andy again, and it always makes my day to see Amy! Did you used to be really good looking, to get such a babe?

Lee, everyone missed you! I know it must have been (Bin) a big reason for you not to have been (Bin) here this year! I hope you are at the next one. I'm not sure you would have enjoyed the course this year as much as all the other years, though... There weren't many places to get lost, and as good as you are, I don't even think you could have got lost.

Hey Dan! Great to see you again too! Thanks for the whiskey(my ass is sore!) and thanks for taking care of Amy Sunday- I was just too darn tired!

somewhere in here we were bewildered and missed "Vernon's Clutch Trail", the site of an earlier debacle. We ended up on a very tight, deteriorated two track. At one point I clipped a stump with the sidecar wheel and it punted me into the manzanita!



We eventually realized our error and backtracked...











...to the designated trail

up another two track





through a quarry

Tawm sent us to Timberline Lodge for lunch. It was socked in with freezing mist

Man, I was thinking of you guys all last week. Sure wish I could have joined in the fun, but was not to be this year. Thanks Vernon for all the pics and descripts. I hope Dale and Spidy Man hoisted a couple for me. Cheers.

0014 two track off of the 44 road. I clipped these photos from some of our video.

On the final leg of Sundays ride we stopped at the bottom of FS17/Pinemont Road

The final checkpoint at the Fairgrounds Sunday was followed by the awards ceremony.



Trophies were handed out( DAve I'd really appreciate a copy of the photo of you getting the sidecar trophy! I'd like to put it up on the Adventure Sidecar website)



Ties were broken using the time honored tradition of "rock, scissors, paper"



And the $300 cash prize was awarded

next year be sure to purchase your genuine BlackDog SunscreenTM



At the end of the day Danno was still lookin'sharp!



and Mr.Cob was caught in the act of washing his Ural!
