My friend Todd and I go ride on the weekdays a lot, but alas, didn't see your post till too late
Up for a ride tomorrow, Fri?
Definitely XC/DH...no shuttling. Burning legs, FS bikes, small air, lots of miles.

Yes, those are the kids I went with. Fat-Mat loafed out and just quit with his crap Specialized. Matt was sporting the V-10 with 5th Ele. and Sam had his 05 Big Hit. it was a fun ride. let's see, I can't remember the name of the first run, but it involved a 30' gap that no one had ever done along with some sort of weird wooden fortress with a 15' drop? The second one was Magic Carpet Ride. dude, that trail was sweet, except for getting to the top and finding out sam's chain guide had come off, along with his chain. We fixed it, and I said that it would come off 3 more times. We hit the muddy jumps and found his chain off..yea, I was right. But let's see, that was a great trail, burms were smooth and jumps were fun. I'm going out this tuesday with Paulbug. I think we're meeting at either Safeway or Groc. Outlet at 9. let me know if you want to go..I hope sam and matt can roll too.

ya that first trail was dead campers. sam told me he took of his chain guide, and i am shure that he didnt put it on right because, well, he doesnt really know anything about bikes (sorry sam, but it is true).

i crashed saturday and broke off the pod of my break with my hand, and my hand still hurts. my bike is in the bike shop and they said that they will have the part by wednesday. if they do have it by tuesday i would want to go with you and your friend. i will PM you if they do

Which ever one of these is cheaper: e-13,mrp,mr.dirt. I need a bashgaurd with the guide cuz my chainring got bent because i didnt have a bashgaurd
well, if your chainring got bent, then you most probably need a new one. how many teeth are you looking for? 38? 36? 34? take a look on ebay and tell me what kind look good/cheap. we can do something.

sam i think you should get a mrp. i think it would work good on your bike. i really think you should get a blackspire (i think that is how it is spelt) but it is a little more expensive. but if your godmother is going to pay for it get that one.

i personley like being to only person i know with a gismo
