Ian and Elefteria visit and Keith remembers to take pictures for exactly one morning.

Soooo... Ian and Elefteria came up last weekend as can be read in detail on Ian's blog.  We met them at IBC on Thursday night and had a great dinner and conversation.  While they were in NYC, we went out and rode the horses and got some housework done.  When they came back on Saturday night we had a very nice fire, but the pièce de résistance (IMO) was grilling brats and eating dilly beans on Sunday.  It was a great dinner and, again, the meal really brought us together for communion.  We had a great time.  Monday morning I had to fix a toilet at one of my friend's rental houses, and then Ian and I took on Shindagin, atop our trusty iron steeds.  That's pretty much the only time I slowed down enough to remember to shoot some pictures, so that;'s what you get.  See Ian's blog for more.
 Ian's preride tire inspection.  Lookin like he should be getting on a custom single speed to ride in NYC...

 But gettin on a GT mountain bike to bomb the Shinny, instead!


The trails were acceptably muddy and the riding was fast!

Ian's post ride recovery nap!  We had a great time and hope to see Ian and Elefteria again soon.  Maybe next time I'll remember to pop the camera out once in a while.
