Six Peak Challenge 2007

Did I do a post on this last year? I think I did. You can look through my archives and find out for yourself.

For those of you not familiar, the Six Peak Challenge is simply this: Travel via mountain bike to the top of six of the tallest peaks in the McDonald-Dunn forest. It takes most of a day to complete, during which we travel over 30 miles and thousands of vertical feet.

Last year, there were some who didn't believe we actually made it to the top of each peak! This year I have photographic proof of each summit to squash the naysayers. In each picture, you can see that we are trying to indicate which peak we are on. For example, if we were on Lookout Peak, we attempt to display an "L".

There is a certain stump in the forest that has long been known to house a stash of beer. It is unknown who put the beer there, or how old the beer is. Sometimes a bottle of wine has been known to show up there. On this day, it was proposed that I drink some of this beer. I obliged. This first can was consumed on the way up to Price Peak.

On our way back down Price Peak, I treated myself to 12 fluid ounces of the Champagne of Beers.

At the end of ride, we all indicated that six peaks were conquered.
