You simply cannot ride Diablo once and have enough

We rode at Diablo for the 4th of July weekend and were eager to bring some more s for a 2nd trip this weekend. On Saturday, myself, Squirrel, Instigator, Sorge and Joe met up and rocked the DH Then, on Sunday we were joined by Echo, Ghettorigged and her friend Camile to continue our riding adventure. If you have not made it to Diable...you REALLY should make the trip. It is WELL worth the drive!!!

Now for the pics (unfortunately, none of me as I was the camera-woman )

I'm jealous. :angry:

Haven't been there since May. I have got to get up there at least once more this year. Good pics!

 

[Instigator]

Thanks Treesaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad we got to ride together again. It was great to see Ghettorigged and Camile out, and of course echo

 

[McGRP01]

Sweet! Glad you guys had a good time!! Wish I could have joined you!
Maybe next time? I'd have to rent though...doubt if my bike could handle the mighty D!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Diablo looks fun!! Very cool pics, TreeSaw.

 

[ghettorigged]

I emailed my pics to Echo, so bug him until he sends them to you!
It was a great ride & the weather was perfect. I am glad I made the trip down to meet up with yall.

 

[Echo]

That was a great ride! Got to do a couple runs with syadasti too, dude represented as expected

All my pics came out blurry, and I didn't have time to resize ghetto's pics yet... but I'll try and get to that tonight

We were having so much fun the pics really were an afterthought on the last run of the day

Good to know you guys had fun. Anybody coing to the night ride at platty this weekend? BTW Echo, the dirty dozen is back in full force, REPORT.

 

[Repack]

Too bad K and I didn't realize who you guys were when you commented on her bike. Oh well. That was my first trip there, K's second. Next year she says she's getting a pass. That place was sick! I've never ridden berms that got me dizzy like Alpine did.

YOU MUST GO!!!

 

[Echo]

Which bike? Chase's old bike?

 

[biggins]

i wanna play!

 

[Repack]

Which bike? Chase's old bike?

That girl's name is Sue (I think). K has a green SGS just like Treesaw's. T commented on K's bike when we were stopped at the bottom for a water break. I was on a red M1.

 

[Echo]

Was that Saturday or Sunday? I think I was not paying attention

 

[Repack]

Was that Saturday or Sunday? I think I was not paying attention

Saturday only for us.

 

[Echo]

Saturday only for us.

Well that would explain why I don't remember it, I was only there Sunday

 

[Instigator]

Saturday only for us.

Hey, I remember that! I was standing right next to Treesaw when she said" nice bike I have the same one" K's bike was leaning behind the side bench!

[TreeSaw]

[Echo]

I haven't even dug my digi cam out of my car yet

 

[narlus]

anyone else wonder why the biggest photo echo posted was of himself?

 

[Instigator]

He may have posted a big picture of himself, but in reality he is a modest guy with great bike skills. Always fun to ride with him

 

[Echo]

That's wierd. I thought I resized them all the same

 

[narlus]

i was just havin' fun. never met echo but from his RM postings he seems like a cool guy and maybe i'll meet up and ride w/ him in the future.

 

[Echo]

Are you done with Ireland yet?

 

[narlus]

yes. back in the USA. better yet, i spent the last two days @ bromont. woo hoo!

 

[Echo]

Cool, I'll be there this weekend!

 

[TreeSaw]

yes. back in the USA. better yet, i spent the last two days @ bromont. woo hoo!

Report please...I will also be there this weekend and am curious as to what I am in store for

 

[narlus]

you mean dublin or bromont?

well, it's been almost 2 seasons since i was at the mountain (went opening day '03) and the ravages of the wet summers has definitely taken its toll on the mountain. a lot more open rocks and less dirt on a decent amount of the trails. plus, they've closed or re-routed some stuff, esp on boomerang (#9), but it's still a fun trail.

the freeride trail (23?) is cool, and andrenaline is always a tester (you can hook into that nasty steep part of the masters from adrenaline...just after the steep rock slab and right hand turn (netting is there to catch people who can't make it), you dump down to the access road, and then go straight across into the woods again. you'll see the padding on the trees and the steeps.

some of the more "xc" trails like 5, 6, and 7 are actually a lot of fun and you can haul-ass down 'em. they are a nice change of pace from the tougher trails like world cup (19) or adrenaline. bonzai (20) is also a good choice.

the mountain was wet from the remnants of some hurricane and there was a lot of standing water in the flat spots, but it was draining and sunday was drier than saturday. hopefully it will remain that way for you guys.

and go to the broue-mont brew pub for beer and food. good place.

Bromont (although I would abosultely :love: to go to Ireland).

Thanks for the tips! I am looking forward to checking those trails out!
