I still don't have a derailleur so, I'll most likely be trying out 495 on the singlespeed for the first time. What time are you guys heading down there?
Anyone riding shed this weekend? (new bike!)
- Thread starter Transfer
- Start date
Hey Judd,
Do they guys over where you are whine about the sercrecy of trails like they did/do over here? I stopped paying attention to the local boards so I don't hear about it anymore, but it probably continues when new riders find out about new or previously unknown trails. Is there the concern for liability there too like there is here, or is it worse because you're in such close proximity to so many hungry lawyers?
And what is with the brand name dropping on the East Coast?

I would ride in the rain.
But sadly those f*ckheads at Performance didn't get my bike shipped to the store this week despite ordering it early last Saturday and telling me it was in stock in a regional warehouse. So no Shed for me this weekend, I might as well take the time to work on my kitchen.
I'm going to burn that motherf*cking shop to the ground.

HBT, and others,
I like to think of our little "banter" in the same terms of two basketball players talking smack to each other on the court. Just part of a little freindly competition. If you're getting all worked up over some trash-talking, may I suggest a nice bubble bath, a glass of wine, and maybe some soothing music?? (Sting works really well)
As for my "Pro Racer X wanna be Travis Pastrana look"...I have turned wrenches in bike shops for over 7 years now, true I have made some industry contacts...I've helped out at DH races. I can also write a good resume. I suggest that you (and anyone else for that matter) do the same. Besides the obvious discounts on really pimp sh#t, you can get an inside view of how this whole cycling thing really works. Hell you might even learn something. The Racers Edge crew is always looking for people to help promote the sport, MORE wants help, and every bike shop I know of is hiring. doing any of all of that would be a great experience. Just a thought...

I ordered a nice new Radio Flyer red lacquored wagon. The other guys I ride with figure if they tow me behind them I'll be more likely to keep up and not get dropped off the back of the pack. Look for a 6'7" asian guy being pulled behind a silver ASX.
Say hello, maybe I'll let you ride shotgun in the front basket, but not behind me because that would just be too Brokeback Mountainbiking.

No Shed for me this weekend obviously....probably not gonna have time until May the way things are looking for this month.

Isn't travel amount directly improportional (sp?) to wang size?
It's nice out. I'm going to 495. I'll be the one crashing a lot or staring at the jumps nervously. Please don't make fun of me. haha
I wish I could be out crashing a lot and looking timidly at the 495's. Unfortunately I am stuck here at work.... have fun!Transfer said:

Yeah, you under went some serious wenis reduction suurgery.
My new radio flyer rigid wagon I'll be riding....yeah, that's right ladies, just like a Shetland Pony.
During the week the wagon is actually how I get it around town.

Oh it's on now motherf*ckers!!!
I'm taking delivery of my new Radio Flyer wagon tonight and will be hitting up the Shed this weekend for sure. Who's game for some shuttling and hikin' Saturday and/or Sunday?
Weather is supposed to be blue bird on Saturday, chance of rain Sunday (that won't stop me).
P.S. Hah-hah, I win Brunettes....unless your wheels come before tonight when I pick up my new ride.

Only steers and queers ride hardtails at the Shed.*

I havent seen any horns up at the shed so what does that tell you? JK guys.
HBT you know we are going to talk you into a yard sale right. Just one of those high speed cartwheels over the bars and then to the nut buster on a rock.
Rain or shine tomorrow right? The shuttle truck will be good to go. Come one come all.

Yes. It's way too short for my gangley ass. If I wanted a DJ bike it would be perfect but I really need a trail / all around bike. Dang it.
I plan on 10:00 AM
I can hang til about 2:30-3:00 at the latest, so the more runs the better. Less yammering and hardcore free-chatting this time perhaps. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that I don't like any of you and would prefer not to make conversation.
I'll be there as close to 10 as possible. But it seems like every time I try to get out the door by 9am I have to stop and get gas or inflate my slowly leaking tire or pull the bloody pulp of an unlucky elderly man out of my wheel well. Such a hassle.
In honor of the momentus ocassion I may even wash my car today and clean some of the petrified chicken mcnuggets out of the upholstry.

our crew of dirtbags will be there at 10am. look for the weirdo driving the MILF van with a "I love soccer moms" bumper sticker.
I'll be up there around 10am but I'll probably be pedaling uphill (gotta get race ready if possible). I'll be on the poop brown ASX.
Btw when I say 10:00 I mean a period of time between 10:00 and 10:29. Hehe.
