Mimmi and Linnea on the Middle Ridge Trail...

Rode Galbraith this afternoon and ran into a couple women on the Ridge Trail who knew Susan Beeson, the woman who emailed me about the absence of "Babes on Bikes" on GalbraithMt.com. They essentially said "we know who you are and we want you to take our photos." The one of Mimi Prince may be the ultimate "Babes on Bikes" shot. I already had a shot of the other woman, Linnea Johnson, but she asked me to use the new one and replace her real name with the pseudonym, Mountain Girl.

Approximately 1300 verts.

This is an excerpt from Vert Quest, which chronicles The Man Known As Mongo's pursuit of the World Record for climbing on a mountain bike, 404,000 vertical feet, or the vertical equivalent of 13 sea-level-to-summit ascents of Mt. Everest during a 12 month period.
