Ok, I decided to make a new thread for this ride. So, who's gonna be there for sure? I think that 10:30 AM meeting at the Whatcom Falls Park parking lot would be the best. A new trail has been completed near towers, I will include it into the route because I want to ride it, I helped build it, its a good trail.

Hahaha - sounds like it's going to be fun if the first part of this thread is any indication. I'm still on the fence. I may be meeting an old buddy down at our local joint, but if he backs out of it then I think I'll be into it.
It's only Monday - I'll know for certain by Friday.:think:

You should be. Maybe I could be your master and you be my apprentice, we can start where you dropped out.
no as i've aged i've learned that being a wimp has it's benefits. Running away is alot better than getting a kick in the junk. :nuts:

Prob around 15 or so miles, with some forest road elevation climbing mostly. The singletrack we'll be hittin is on the technical side but it's still XC. Most of the advanced stuff on Bobs have go arounds and heck if nothing else, no better way to work on your technical ability than to jump onto some technical trails. :)

Weather forecast is looking real good, so what's up peeps...
i'm most likely driving up, and i've got 3 people possibly riding with me. But then again maybe not haha. so Andy and Pat whatcha thinkin?
Pat if i get more people who ride up with me, i will definately stop by your pad and/or we can meet you and Kevin/Amy up north somewhere easy to find. And i may be able to move one more bike to my rear rack.
Oly who's your ride?

Time to get things dialed in.

Pat-Sweet! i'm thinking around ninish because right now i'm having a serious brain fart.... i can't remember how long it takes to drive up there 1.5 hrs or 2 hrs. We gotta be up there at 10:30 so 2 hrs before that would be the time.....

Man i overdosed on spaghettin and garlic bread after a Lake Saywer ride today. i feel comfortably dumb.....

Mmmmmmm, spaghetti...... Oh yeah, directions, lets see. Well, I know how to get there, but sorry, I dont know the freeway exit number. Anyone else know? But I do know that there will be a Fred Meyer store to your right when you are heading north. Take Lakeway past fred meyer, and past cost cutter - keep going til you get to whatcom falls park. That's the best I can do. Sorry.

On a different note, I rode up to towers today and took part of the route that I have planned... other than two downed trees on one trail and a heck of a lot of mud it was fine. I had a good time. Be prepared to get muddy.
Well, see all of you on Sunday. I'll probably have one friend with me.
