A few photos from Troy

May 21st, 2009 · No Comments

Some pics from Troy. I wish I would have taken some but I was wearing my ass as a hat most of the day and sucking up my own lung. Wicked tracks and great fun, boy I’m glad I’m not dead now. Note to self: Be in better shape before riding with fast friends.
