Upper Midwest Trials Association

The annual club banquet was held last night at Joseph’s Grill in downtown St. Paul. See the album or this slideshow of 80+ photos. Let me know if you have photos you’d like to add to the pile.

Ben’s going to have a little write-up in the District 23/ARMCA magazine for being the 2007 National Sportsman Champion (blogged here). So yesterday, club member Chris Eddy took some photos for the article of Ben riding at Redman Ranch. See the album here or this slideshow.
