HC-IH-48 here, with a late first challenge entry, and an on time second challenge entry.

First:

Second:
A trip to enjoy beer… er,um nature at the Nature Friends Tourist club on top of Mt. Tamalpais in Mill Valley: http://touristclubsf.org/about/

Enjoying the 688 stairs that mark the beginning of the trail. 25 ounce denim in 85F weather was not fun…

A break near the top for some Tennessee hydration with friends.

Continuing on the trail.

Entering the closest thing to Valhalla I've ever experienced.

About to enjoy the fruits of labor.

Bonus shot with the camera girl and girlfriend of 10.5 years

Saved my first post for this!

My MBB's were just delivered. Waiting for UPS today felt like an eternity, literally perking up with the slightest hint of turbo diesel noise off in the distance. Cell phone pics for now, fit and higher quality pictures later, and now time for some appreciation. Thank you Mega, Beatle, Giles, Paula, Haraki-San and everyone at IH and IHUK for making this possible, it is going to be an amazing two years.



I'm off to endure some pain…
