Marc & Laura are linked!


Dirt Dad Marc & Laura were married on May 30th at Central Wesleyan Church in Holland. The reception was at the Grand Haven Community Center Mackinaw Room. Dirt Dad (and Marc's brother-in-law) Rusty was the Master of Ceremonies. Other Dirt Dads present were Brian, Tim, Bob, Harv, & JP. Congratulations to a great couple! We hope you have an awesome honeymoon. Laura, the Dirt Dads look forward to getting to know you better.

Marc, please tell us how you and Laura liked the wedding gift. Our wives think we're all crazy. You may tell Laura it can be used as a bud vase holder, too.

Regarding road bike riding, Brian pedaled 70 miles and Bob cranked out 100 miles on the day of the wedding. Inspired, JP, Harv, & Tim pedaled 50 miles the next day, a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

North Caroliney 2009!!!!!!!!!!

JP, Brian, Bob, Mark, Eric and Tim embarked on the NC2009 trip. Eric drove up from gatorland… After Arriving at Pisgah NF, NC and setting up camp we blasted down many trails, and crawled up many more. Some trails offered more pain, blood, and bruises than others!

The traditional Claw Hammer climb of death, then Avery Creek with a flowing but rocky downhill. The classic Caney Bottoms and Pink Beds. Daniel Ridge with breathtaking waterfalls at the bottom.

While in Dupont State Forest we explored some new territory and a little old. The Ridgeline trail was da bomb by far!!! None of us could get enough of the Ridgeline with a super fast flowy singletrack downhill.

Squirrel Gap was a crazy technical uphill grind along the ridge all the way up (which never ended). The downhill bought Brian a trip to ER for stitches and bought JP a new helmet. We did not miss Black Mountain either!!

Lots of food, and lots of food…
