A few guys invaded Afton (wow, that was easy) for the week. Sledding, biking..., and golf. Sorry, no golf pictures.

Here's some from the biking:

Curtis' timed run. He won $20 earlier today in a hillclimb. Add it to the list...

So Sahen says 'that line will pop your tire every time.' Burandt realizes why...

Keith is on a stock 2011 RMK Assault proto. He's just a phenomenal rider. Burandt's RMK is basically stock as well. And it's a 163!

I don't have a link to all the pics. This will be a feature in SledHeads magazine this fall, so we're saving some for that. But I'll try to get a lot more posted here.
