4 am wake up for an early morning run up Lake Mountain with Matt VH, Scott W, Jun and Faceless Ghost. The trail/road was a lot steeper than I thought it was going to be. I soon fell to the back of the pack and slowly trotted my way up.  Matt VH would have been far ahead of me if he didn't always need to stop and move product. I was thankful for the company.  The view on top was excellent and the run down wasn't too bad either.

It was fun having you along and you should join us more often. Great morning.

I move a superior product.

VH moves a lot of product.

You two are making me look bad - I didn't go because of the 'long drive', and then I see that your smiling faces showed up.

Glad you were able to get out, that is a good one.

Glad you could make it. You were solid on the way up, unlike MVH's product.

Now that is funny.
