Above are some selected photos from the Gentleman's Ride last Saturday. The route was long and hilly. As far as I know everyone made it back alive. I think I was the second to last or third to last person to make it back. The event did not transpire as I had imagined for a lot of reasons.

About half the people who started the route finished the entire ride. It was a long haul!

No one was around afterwards to pick up the prizes so they are being returned back to Cranky Jeff and BH Bikes except for a few T shirts!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the ride; that route is pretty sweet.

With the conclusion of the TDF the mood is now changing from long road/mtb rides to short efforts in anticipation of Cyclocross. Although, I'm not sure if the Black Hills will see any CX action this year aside from Miss Chippie Cross. Haven't seen any flyers in the shops or heard anything or seen anything on web/fb/twitter. I'll keep hoping!
