Results for NEDA's Spring Fling

First Place:  Dave Cootware

Second Place: ET Thomas

Third Place:  Alisanne Steele

 I joined Steven Thompson and NEDA for their Annual Spring Fling endurance ride in Sliver Springs, Nevada this past Sunday, and as always, had a blast!  This was my fourth Spring Fling to photograph, and I swear they just keep getting better every year.  Twenty-eight riders and drivers turned out for the event, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous.  Trail included a loop through the park, and I was able to capture some great shots, with both mountain views and some with the lake in the background.  Heidi Siegel celebrated her 79th birthday by coming in 5th place!  Hiking back out, I had the added bonus of photographing an owl.  I'm glad she was occupied with the baby in her nest and not eating Gizmo!

 Thanks to everyone for their support!

NEDA's Spring Tune Up turned out to be a fun day, with 38 riders enjoying beautiful scenery and great weather.  It started out to be an endurance event for the photographer!  It was the perfect example of anything that can go wrong will go wrong for ME. Thanks to Brandon Mandoki for being such a pro and for keeping me together, and a very special thank you to Larry Green's father for letting me print from his home.  Larry & Mary, you saved the day!

Ride Results - NEDA Valentine Ride

First Place:  Dave Cootware on Lia

Second Place: Red Black driving Beats Walkin'

 

 Third Place: Steven Thompson driving Ebony

NEDA hosted its Valentine Ride in Silver Springs this past Sunday.  The weather forecast called for wind, but it turned out to be a beautiful day.  Thirty-eight riders turned out for the event, split fairly evenly between 10 Mile Fun Riders and 20 Milers.  Great trail included a jaunt through Lahontan State Park.  As always, the potluck provided an opportunity for participants to visit after the ride.  NEDA provided the main dish of Lasanga, and there were tons of Valentine Sweets for dessert.  It was exciting to see so many new faces as guests at the ride and to welcome a few new members to NEDA. 

Congratulations to the Valentine Ride Winners:

First Place - Dave Cootware riding Lia

Second Place to Red Black driving Beats Walkin'

Third Place - Steven Thompson driving Ebony
