Got my boxxer WC all set up. Got a chance to break it in and see how it feels. So far I'm pretty pumped. I guess its old news for you fellows that already have one but I'm still in the wide eyed "wow this feels great" phase of bikes. I'm pretty discerning as to what my bike parts are doing at any given time, what I like and dislike, but a new part as important as a fork is always exciting! So far I dig it, the extra inch of travel, the air matches my evolver better, so getting to run 2 air shocks loses even more weight. So far I dig it. I see why so many people like them.

I didn't have my film camera, just my sh1tty point and shoot so the pics could be better. Good times though

Anyway, on to pictures! It was pretty muddy. There was a little drizzle as we got there, and it'd been pouring for 2 days straight before hand, so it was a bit damp.

By the end of the day it was pretty nice


We finished up on the last run with the toughest run there, long, steep, rocky, and incredibly greasy. Wet screams would have been ideal. High rollers and clipless for the first time in months was not. Couldn't have had more fun :imstupid:

We didn't get any pictures, but the post ride beer.


Good times

Will

Now ya got me thinking about which run this is. Hmm...
Haha, none of the sekrit trails. I was speaking of stagecoach of course!

But yah, good times! My bike weighed 2.23 lbs more then it normally does, my roomates 2.67.

Don't worry, the days are getting longer, its the end of january, and in a month or two you'll start getting to ride again. This will tide you over till then!

Ah yes, when I think of stagecoach I too think of long steep and rocky! And of course it wouldn't be a sekrit trail, there's none of those in Auburn! :biggrin:

Looks like you guys had a good time, I miss Auburn, might be able to hit it over President day weekend though, we'll see.

I'll probably be doing the same thing, hit me up if you want in on shuttling, I'm hoping to have a decent 6-7 person crew going.
