Just trying to get some mid week stuff together since my weekends are mostly spoken for.

As for this week, I'm down for any time, any day but monday if you guys want to shuttle. I want to get warmed up on blue for a bit cause I just got a new bike and the shocks arent dialed yet. Do I have 2 co-conspirators in the gallery???


Also, post here in the future for last minute spur of the moment work/school skippage.

some of us have been doing tuesday shuttles up there (this past weekend was no good because of weather). 2 weeks ago, we had 9 guys on a tuesday night

find us only on the steep side though.

 

[onetime]

I might be down for tuesday.

 

[urbaindk]

What time do you all get up there?

 

[skatetokil]

yeah, I still haven't ridden everything on that side due to bikesplosion issues last time I was up there. I'm feeling good on the new ride so far, but nothing I've hit with it yet can compare to the steeps out there so I'm trying to work my way up.

witnessed a riding concussion this weekend and i'd rather avoid that fate.

how is that going? everything OK?

I felt really bad! Everything was going great till that point!

 

[skatetokil]

Yeah, scared the crap outta me but she seemed ok this morning except for the lingering headache. About the first thing she remembers after the crash is getting directions back to the car from you guys up on the road, so I'd say there were 15 missing minutes in there, maybe more. She was in rough shape on the ride home, but by dinnertime she was herself again.

Anyway she says thanks for the fun ride up till the crash. She was already talking about going back and conquering the roller coaster by the time we were leaving Pittsburgh.

Wow! I was pretty shaken myself. I have had my bell rung from time to time, but I cringe when I see other people hurting! She was doing great. I watched her on the first "2 rollers" and she was hitting a perfect line! Specially the one with the sticky mud puddle! She was really riding strong as well! I am happy she is doing well, but I was scared there for a bit!

It was great to meet you folks N@ ! Any time you are up this way, give me a call! Next time we will grab some beers! Tell Emily I hope she is feeling well, and I am glad to hear she is looking forward to getting back on the bike!

a crew will be out there tomorrow night around 5:30ish (at least 5 of us), but we have limited space on shuttling unless someone else shows up with more rack/trunk space.

 

[onetime]

If anyone wants to start riding earlier, i'll be out. Let me know. I have shuttle space.

 

[skatetokil]

which side you wanna hit?

 

[VSBJake]

I'm off thurs.... kinda last minute but I really want to ride my DH bike! Anyone up for , or already gonna shuttle? Please!? I'll check back when I wake up.

 

[skatetokil]

what time you thinking? I've gotta see how much work I get done this morning before i can take off.

 

[VSBJake]

I'm open........ takes a good hour and a half to get there. I'd like to be on the road there by 2-3 to avoid traffic

 

[skatetokil]

we got a third who can drive?

 

[VSBJake]

I can only fit two bikes and people ..... not enough to shuttle but I got some $ on gas for whoever does!!!

 

[skatetokil]

my truck can shuttle, but we need a warm body that can operate a manual transmission

 

[VSBJake]

no problem here.... I'll PM my cell# meet around 3:30-4?

 

[skatetokil]

We need a third to ride anything but drop trails tho.

 

[VSBJake]

I thought you meant "we got a third!..... who can drive?" Haha ooops....

 

[skatetokil]

well sheeit. I guess the options are an hour + to the drop trails or 5 min to the jumps like yesterday.

 

[skatetokil]

plan b i guess. CC ahoy.

 

[VSBJake]

Yup Ijust went to our jumps too.... might go shed sun w/ an accomplice

 

[skatetokil]

I'll be riding dh sunday, but probably just out at my cabin in VA

 

[skatetokil]

anyone up for this evening?

 

[dan wask]

Anyone goin on sunday that can show me around ?

 

[VSBJake]

I went last sun.... good times. Can't go this week going to diablo this weekend; should be awesome!

 

[bballboy388]

Hey dan i can show you around do you know how to get there?

 

[dan wask]

Hey dan i can show you around do you know how to get there?

I have directions, I just haven't been there before.

 

[skatetokil]

Ok, do I have anyone for tomorrow? I have to go out to fredneck to pick up a window for my truck that some crackhead punched in. tried to steal my hardtail but couldn't get it out the door apparently. anyway, if one of yall is interested in riding tomorrow afternoon, I'll throw the dh bike in the car. I have a lunch thing in the city, and then i'll go get the parts and drive to the shed. could start anywhere from 2:30-5:30.

Lemme know.

 

[whale]

the tuesday night crew will be out again tomorrow night (06/05/07). we already have at least 4 committed with room for a few others. hit me up if you want to join in. i will be out all day tomorrow and won't have internet access so you'll have to call me or just show up and hope there is room. we'll try to get shuttles started at 5pm and lap it out until dark.

 

[yakuzafreerider]

Too bad you guy couldnt ride yesterday-the conditions were perfect. Weds weather looks better than todays though. Hope your ride goes well.
I usually do most of my riding during the week as well, but Im only good for the dh stuff so I stick to mostly short runs (slacks, white rock) I would ride more of torry to the blue loops more often but working 10hrs a day standing usually leaves my legs feeling like jelly enough ha ha. I wouldnt mind shuttling a little too as well. I have room to haul 4 bikes total. I could be out there at the Shed by 5pm anyday (with some notice-and depends on my schedule), how long would you guys want to stay out riding? around 8pm? maybe we can start arranging some stuff soon. Are there any downhill riders near the Waynesboro area besides myself?

 

[skatetokil]

****, 330 conference call might put me out of the ride today.

 

[whale]

Even with all the rain on Sunday, the trails were mostly dried out. Great day of shuttling. It ended up only being 4 of us, but we were able to get in some early sessions and then lapped it out until dark.

 

[whale]

Tuesday night ride is on for tomorrow (06/12/07). Same meet up spot as usual... around 5:30ish.

 

[yakuzafreerider]

What runs do you guys make/how many times? Im sure you guys are aware of the tree down on white rock gap that needs some love from a chainsaw...Im thinking of getting rid of it myself when I can talk myself into not riding when I head that direction lol....

 

[BAXTER]

They are talking about a place in Maryland not Sherando Lake area.

 

[mcanull]

What part of the world is the shed in? I am thinking i read somewhere near Harrisonburg?

 

[skatetokil]

spend some more time on here and you will probably get all the information you desire grasshopper.

 

[mcanull]

yes sir
