    Kelly Porter
    Chad Lillibridge
    Scott Roland
    Mandy Griesenbeck
    Kyle Kuehl
    Elizabeth Kuehl

    Other riders for the day included:

    Tom Ogihara - SAG driver and rode most the trails
    Alex Crotinger
    Ben Herman
    Elvin Mendez
    Les Milner
    Scott Kirkpatrick

    Special thanks to Tom Ogihara for driving the SAG all day, picking up lunch and keeping everyone hydrated and full of snacks.

    More thanks to all the trail stewards and maintenance guys keeping the awesome QC trails in great shape and marking the trails to help find our way. Dave Deke, Brad Merrick, Danny Hanker, Kings, Micheal Riley, Bill Specht, Drew Hanson and anyone I else I missed.

    I know I had a lot of fun and maybe a little pain. Hope everyone enjoyed the day too.
