ALAFIA STATE PARK. BRANDON, FLORIDA

13 hours of Santos 2007 1st Place Co-Ed
Jim, Beth(support), Belinda, Julianne, and Humberto






Our first stop was Alafia State Park to meet up with friends and do a bit of moutain biking and socializing. Art and Julianne North camped with us for several days with pups Buck and Ellie. Julianne set it up for us to do trail work in lieu of paying for a RV site. Julianne, John and I got all of the river loop trimmed back and Johnny and Art worked on the roots in Rock Garden. It's only May but pretty hot and humid. Humberto Diaz and Belinda Williams met up with us to ride on Sunday. Belinda and I had a little trouble staying on our bikes and we have the bruises to prove it! I'm out of practice...not sure what Belinda's excuse is......The park is in really good shape considering how dry it has been. A few sandy spots but not bad. We got another surprise. Rich and Julie drove up from Sarasota for a short visit. Haven't seen them since our last race? Great to see you guys? All in all an awesome stop. Great friends and great riding!
