Riding bikes in moscow.

Nice work. It is pretty crazy seeing someone ride on places so familiar. I actually pinched my fist tube on that set of stairs near the Commons last weekend. I wish I had half of the talent that you do, I can't get up into a manual to save my life let alone ride it out. Nice work, and if I see you around campus I'll shout out to you. I'll be one riding a grey Kona Hoss Deluxe not doing any cool stunts.

thanks, definatly come ride. my wrist is pretty banged up right now. (along with my bike) I had a good crash filming for that video, but It should be good in a few days. I rode beacon today with a little discomfort, but a hardtail on concrete is a little less forgiving. definatly say hi if you see me. or even call me and lets go ride. Group rides are way more fun than a few people.

kyle you need some helmet cam of your trail!
i need to come ride it again now that its worked in better, kinda rough last spring
yeah, it was pretty rough last year. it is looking nice right now though. I've hiked up a few times already (the gate's still closed) and dug a bit. as soon as the gate is open, I plan on getting another big section done, along with some filming of course :D

Pretty sick Kyle, who's behind the lens?

My friend Jack. He rides a green P.2 definatly a cool kid, and is not to shabby behind the lens. I think I am making him my official camera man for the season so I can be even more vain :D

I need to check out that trail on the Moscow mtn one of these days Kyle.
You need to come ride campus with us again. I really want to have a big group ride one of these days. possibly with a BBQ when we're all done. I think it would be purdy fun, possibly a club function???

Kyle,
 
Well I will be around all summer. If any of you guys will be we will have to hit up Moscow Mountain and maybe some on campus riding. We were able to get up to Headwaters on Friday and it was in great shape. Everything is pretty well dry up on that side right now. There were a couple of damp spots but nothing wet.

I actually slipped off of my flats on Friday morning and put a pretty good gash into my shin while riding to class. Ended up stopping at student health since it wouldn't stop bleeding 4 hours later. I still mustered up enough energy to get up to Headwaters that afternoon.

we went up headwaters saturday. pedaled the big bikes to the top and had a good rip to the bottom. I forgot how fun flowy singletrack can be. I might have to do that ride again. I have clips on the DH bike now. thinking beacon.....

Kyle,
 
I had tried all winter to really get my lungs in good shape for hill climbing this spring, but after riding on friday I realized that I need a lot more work. I'm sure after a few weeks I will be fine, but until then I want to die. I am trying to get a few people together this Friday if the weather will hold to ride Headwaters again.

me+44 lb DH bike+ uphill + 40 tooth chainring does NOT = fast of any sorts. I'll get to the top, but it will definatly take a bit. I will just call it good training :D

Kyle,
 
Well I don't get done with class until 3:30, so sometime around 4 ish would work for me. After looking at the weather for the week, we might have to hope and pray that it drys out by friday. I need to try to round up some people for a ride and what not.

Holy crap, a moscow/pullman thread with more than 4 posts. Uncanny.
Anyway, we should do a group ride on Moscow mtn Friday, for sure.

It looks like it snowed up on the top of the mountain, but headwaters should be fine. and that is definatly a fun trail to rip down. It's not steep or anything, but it is really flowy and there are a few long straight fast sections.

Mike and I rode headwaters today. definatly a fun rip, a little hard on the big bikes but it was nice. if the weather holds friday should be fun. I think I am going to beacon on sunday as well to do some DH runs.

Kyle,
