Knickerbikers have traditionally manned (OMG. Can I say that anymore. Blame it on my age. Blame it on my ignorance. Blame it on my antipathy to political correctness.) the 25/75 mile support stop for the Stage Coach Century. In times past Knickerbikers have camped out at Aqua Caliente County Park, about 2 1/2 miles away. This year everyone but two drove out for the day. |

| Last year we rode from Canebrake and arrived at the site a but late to receive the goods for the site. This year we camped at the site to insure we would not be late again. | ||
 |
||
| We were up before sun up. | ||
 |
||
| The sun came up to warm the desert ... | ||
 |
||
... and shortly the goods were delivered. |

| Larry Gitman, on the right, one of the ride organizers, was on hand to see everything was set up correctly. | ||
 |
||
| At about the right time the first rider approached the site. It was clear this rider wasn't part of the Stage Coach Century, not riding nearly fast enough. | ||
 |
||
| This is the first solo rider. He is riding for time and has no need to make a stop after only 25 miles. He didn't stop on the way back after 75 miles either. | ||
