I had an interesting Cino. I managed to hurt my hand on the Monday before and by the time I got to Kalispell I decided that it was best that I not ride so I talked to Dave (the organizer) and volunteered to do support. I helped to fix a number of flats on the road as well as some other problems.

My Day 1 highlight was handing out 3 beers at around 0930.....that was before the top of the hill and the bacon stop. Day 2 was pretty easy, I mixed martinis at the top of the hill for several people and the only flats I had to deal with were 2 people (northbend, who is a member here being one) who both had double flats about 1000 feet apart.

On to the pics. Friday night there was a small concours...





David Kirk built this bike many moons ago and brought it to show....but he rode one of his own frames.
