great photos, looks like you guys had a good time. wish i could have gone, but it was better that i didnt. did you guys hit any of the harder lines?
 
I'm currently in mammoth, so I'll post pics and video in a couple of days. Fly fished the Owen's for the first time and actually caught some fish!

This 'con run was awesome (epic and legendary too). Felt like we had the place to ourselves. Ask rockclimber about getting a flat during the hail storm.
 
Great pic's guys, Yes that trail is Epic.. We will see you all in Moab in 2013!!
 
Part of the appeal of running the Rubicon for me is the awe inspiring scenery, so here's some landscape pics mixed with wheelin' pics.
In chronological order:

A new boulder strategically placed at Soup Bowl convinced me to take the bypass. That huge boulder on the left wasn't there last year.
