We'll be out in Santa Cruz.

Probably only one loop, although we may be inclined to hike back up for a second one (ie. we'll only be riding up once). So if you want to ride, bring your big bike. I'll have about 4 guys with me who are comfortable on a bike, but by no means fast nor in shape.

I think we'll plan to meet out there at 9:30am at Rincon.

Also, this is pending the weather situation. I heard it might rain on Friday. :clapping:

Oh yeah! I remember someone mentioning women with birthdays on All Hallows Eve being a little crazy. ;)

But seriously, tell Em that Jehn and I say happy-happy, and we want to get together for din-din with you guys soon. Maybe Tizzle and Mandizzle can come, too?

The storm is supposed to kick up Friday night. I'm still riding though. The guys I'm riding with I've known to be mountain bikers for over 3 years and yet I've never ridden with them. So I'm still going.

Kelly and I will probably be kicking around up there if it's not still raining on saturday. If it is, there's a good chance I'll be getting drunk and playing wii instead :D

Looks to be wet and sloppy. Goggles for riding, long-sleeves for warmth, and a towel to sit on for the ride tomorrow will be mandatory.

Looks like a bunch of my n00b riding friends flaked out, so I'll be out there on the trail bike. My buddy will probably tag along, and possibly a semi-n00b on a MkIII as well.

Otherwise, you all should be out there and willing to get messy and muddy. It shall be AWESOME.

No doubt about it. All of you that couldn't make it out today missed out. It was warm, and never got below 60 degrees. The first climb to the top was easy and barely damp. Then the rain really hit when we got the top of the far trails. It was sopping wet. And it was great. Wet, but not cold. The trails were unbelievable. Tacky, perfect traction, and the best I've seen them in the rain in... I don't even know how long.

The only downside was that my goggles were so wet that they kept fogging up so I had to go without. Due to that, I got a lot of mud/dirt in my eyes.

I might even go back out tomorrow just because (we'll see though).
