Last weekend we had the pleasure of having Santa Barbara’s Eyal
Aharoni visit us in San Antonio for some riding and socializing. I had
ridden with Eyal at several California Muni weekends, and once in
Austin, but was anxious to get him on my home trails. We got a small
group together for a fast pace cross-country/muni ride on Sunday
morning (Eyal, Phil Veale, Eric Lancaster, and me), then after a lunch
break we were joined by Dave Stockton, and a fairly new but
fast-progressing rider named Joseph, plus a few spectators on foot and
bike. We headed off to an area with lots of fun descents and rock
obstacles for some technical sessions.
Trapper wasn’t riding that day and was nice enough to take photos
of the afternoon session. They are posted on his SA Muni site at:
'SAMuni gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/rhhgv)
It was great to watch Eyal with his smooth, controlled style cleaning
sections on the second try when we had struggled with them for months.
Everyone has their weakness and Eyal’s is that he just
doesn’t provide his audience with any spectacular bone crunching,
flesh abrading crashes. Fortunately Phil and I were ready and able to
fill that need.
My wife and I also got to spend some time with Eyal’s parents
which is always a pleasure.
And thanks to Phil and his wife for providing an impromptu barbeque and
beer party for a few of us after the ride.
We look forward to Eyal coming back sometime and hopefully bringing
some of the other California guys with him.
