It's a baby shower
well, that happened a little later in the afternoon. prior to that, a snow shower (hurray!) trail ride was in order.
conditions were soupy at the put-in, but coverage improved and underlying mud quickly turned to frozen earth at higher elevations.
needless to say, we didn’t run into many other trail users. later in the afternoon we caught up with lots of friends happy to celebrate Shawn and Tennile’s new adventure in parenting.
backpacking, enduro mtb rides, and 24 hour bike races are great cross training for becoming brand new parents!






Nice pics…we’ll see you guys in a few weeks…Still planning on all us hnging out in the same spot…so stay in touch!
Congrats to the O’Mearas! It will be great to have another lil bacon stripper on the earth!
I’m bummed I didn’t make the ride, though I thought you were nuts for trying. Brew haha kept me up late…

Congrats Shawn and Tennile!
Many congratulations to the O’Meara family–best of luck.
