Sep 1, 2012: Skeggs at gate CM08

Riders: Gene, Jun, Chito, Tim, Benny
Foggy & chilly start of the ride at 46 deg F. A bit of mud on the trail but not too bad.
9.1 miles 1-1/2 hrs riding time
A bit of mechanical issues: Tim's seat post on his leftie cannondale bike. Gene's rear brake disc pads worn out eating into the rotor.

Overall a nice good not-so-tiring ride.
