Yippee :dancing:Skookum said:
I would go but I have 5 different finals next week. :mumble: And two of them are longer than 10 pages. 
Time and meeting place. I Would love to squeeze in a ride before the snow moves in. I am so out of shape. Need to be back on the saddle. We'll see if I still know how to ride my bikeoly said:
Put too much money into my car. :mumble: And had to drive my car all summer long with a bunch of gasoline head to justify all the money that I put into the car.
Snacks PM me if you have room for one more from this end. If not I think I'm in anyway, been wanting to ride anything in Cap for a long time. Never been there yet. Sounds like the right time.Snacks said:Okay...I'm in
i-5 south past oly. Take the littlerock exit (#95). go straight over tracks and keep on that road till you reach littlerock. As the stop sighn go straight. The chevron is on the right just up the road, Meet there. Plan to be there NO LATER, than 8:45. Plan 1.5 hrs from seattle.
capitol forest is dumb on sundays
haha i'm thinking of going Saturday too but that would be unprecedented. Two cap trips on consecutive days. i don't think it's ever been done before, and i fear i just don't have it in me.....derekpearson said:
Lemme see if I can get the white truck from Kevin that day, if so I'll have room for all.evilbob said:
its been done before brother. I hit 4 days in a row last summer out there... You wanna go with a bunch of goons on sunday or with your ol pal derwiq on saturday? doesnt seem like much of a choice to me??Skookum said:
:redX:
I would love to go too. Anyone have room for another? I don't think I will have my car this weekend.
If is it 30-40 of really tough climb or could i grunt it out with a larger type rig?

Goons? Ok thats the last time i help you... an i was just getting ready to buy a hat too.....
You may be able to grunt it out. Its pretty dang long though. you thinking of the PDC?66 said:
maybe. Probably not. maybe the HT which pedals about as well (bad pedaling for a HT, DH rig pedals quite nice). maybe i will get the Heckler for the day. hard to say. The PDC is new and i have barely ridden it. It's tempting.oly said:
i'm probably working saturday so Sunday for sure. 30 to 40 minute climb? meh big deal, i'll bring a rope and tow you guys up.....
I've been able to get the truck from Kevin on Sunday so I have room for myself plus 4. So far it's BYO, and Skookum. 66 and evil.....you still want to hitch a ride down?
Remember no later than 8:45!!!!! The van has been on time and pretty full.
Thanks Snacks, I'm in.Snacks said:

Cool. Did you decide on bike? I think the PDC may be overkill once you get to the middle of the ride....
Heckler for me. What's the typical rig for this trail?oly said:
Thanks Snacks! 
I will bring some gas funds for ya and check with ya later for meet details. :evil:

is Bum gonna be there? Bum is cool.
XC/Trail bikes. The top section is fast and flowy... great switchbacks, but as you get into it theres alot more climbing. the heckler will be perfect.66 said:
youre too late. It sold and is headed to ohio of all places. I gotta take that paypal link down aha/oly said:
Skookum,Skookum said:

sorry i'm gonna work on Saturday for sure (i think). i'm kinda bummed not being able to ride with you Jonny, and Rob.....
hope you guys have a great ride out there, stop and scoop all the horse poop out of the way for us riders shuttling on the next day. We'll call that trail work for a noble cause.
Hooray!bumster22 said:
thats just dumbSkookum said:
Who is this Bumster22 person, and why is he cool?bumster22 said:
no it's dum. there's a difference. besides i still have hospital bills to pay. :nuts:derekpearson said:
Can you believe a broken leg cost's over 30 grand? Good thing i have good insurance but still it cost me $$$$$$$$$.
*i'm still laughin about the time i asked you if you have ringing in your ear from them concerts you've been goin to, and you replied that you don't hear ringing but hear empty trash cans falling down the stairs*
what am i talking about again?.......
Cuz we climbed Corral Pass in the cold rain, rode thru the blustery windy cold ass snow, and descended a muddy rainy mucky Ranger Creek trail, never complained once, and was stoked to be riding. That folks is true grit and character.Snacks said:Who is this Bumster22 person, and why is he cool?
