Great friends

If you can't be great, it's nice to be surrounded by greatness. Ellsie ran down the South Kaibab Trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and back up the Bright Angel Trail - 16 miles and a gajillion feet of elevation change - in 4 hours. Trust me....that's damn fast. Local bud Wilkens has found the holy grail of life where he works a bit, takes care of his kids a bit, rides a lot, and still finds a way to pay the Man. Wisco homie Kedisha OWNED the top spot on the podium in a singlespeed race, and Big Steve shows up with little training and hits the top 10 in his Clydesdale category. Then, my pal Sheck singlehandedly finds a secret beach on the Verde River during a potentially life threatening float trip. All the while sipping cold Ska Modus Hoperandi and listening to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones during the covert op. Good on ya, Sheck.
