I am off to Nevada on the 30th, so you'll have to ride in the spirit of your fat ancestors for me.

I already organized a XC trip for the 1st so I can't back out. Had I known this was going to happen before I would have been in. While I prefer to climb, I also enjoy the company of the RM homies and wanted to meet several of you. A day with the fellow monkies is a day well spent :cool:

Rich you are just an xc pha-king pu-cee! :rolleyes: I hope you have fun in your tight shorts and get in all the climbing you can handle.

Maybe next time you will decide to be a real man and go riding with the big boys!

Anyone have some sort of packing blankets or junk blankets or something? I don't want to tear up the bikes in the trailer like the last time. :)

If Im not mistaken the road to the top is paved all the way. shouldnt be as hard on the bikes as last time. My brand new derailer looks about a year old after it got its ass kicked by your trailer.

Take some zinc and vitamin-c, preferably emergen-c's if you haven't been already. It will help alot.

Yea Ralphie, the road to the top is super smooth so the bikes will not slam into each other like the last time. hahahaha as a matter of fact, when you see how smooth the road is that we will take, you will be asking yourself why in the world we dealt with the flagpole trail at all. Granted, we did not know about the Reddish Knob trail at that time..... but who cares :D

i found someone's vitamin c supplements in my car emergen-c or something. My friends thought i was trying to get high off of it. (i guess they know that you can get a buzz off taking a lot of vitamin c) my friends are crazy. i have no clue what my mom thought...

I've heard loggers alley is just a fireroad with lots of ruts. But that's just hearsay. I can only imagine if it's really 7 miles long that it'd get old after a while if it's just a fire road. Personally, I'd like to try out wintergreen at least once this summer.......





I'm putting on my flame resistant jacket now.....

The 7th is the day my show opens, and my life starts again. It was nice today, I had a break from 7-10. I'm on my way back to the theatre in 20 minutes :rolleyes:

And Loggers alley is a fireroad, but its a fun fireroad. It is very long, but it does not get too boring. There are a few peddly parts, and plenty of chances to catch up with faster/slower riders.

And to tell you the truth, I plan on riding WG this summer as well. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Snowshoe, but you can't beat the hour and fifteen minute drive to WG. Day trips are easy up there, not so much at Snowshoe. Let me know when you want to go up there, i'm game.


And before all of you fools post, just remember, all we are here to do is ride our bicycles, and anywhere I can do that, i'm all for!

I'm in for Reddish Knob.
Loggers' Alley is just a fireroad. When I did it in '98 you got to the bottom and called the shop to get a ride to the top. Do it once so you, too, can sound off with a snore.

Loggers alley is fun, not the greatest but still fun. It is super fast and rocky, rutted. I have done it once or twice a year in the early spring for the last couple years. It is a really good way to knock the cobwebs off of the bike and see what you need to take care of before the season starts.

The biggest bitch about it is getting the shuttle to pick you up. It is the same shuttle they use for the golf people. They will make you wait for the next shuttle if there are alot of golfers waiting to ride the shuttle.
