Come on out!Bicyclist said:So this Sunday (April 23) is a go, right?
I'll try to make it up with the Ojai crew if I can.
Holy crap. :hot: That's sooo fast!punkassean said:Mitch clocked 38mph today

Is that the guy on the Kona and no visor?
Mike,hecktone said:I just want to say thanks to all of you that have taken the time to come up to Fstone, this year and in past years, to make this race course kick ass!
This is a great example of how the dream of one person can become the mission of several others, and one in which the end result is something that everyone who gets a chance to witness and partake in it benefits from and will remember forever.
I really do mean it whan I say thank you to all of you who have ever helped dig on that land up there, because without you, none of it would be possible.
Now, we have one more day of fine tuning and pre-riding, come on out, your more than welcome here, your invited.
ETR,
Hecky
Great Job! Thank's for doing all this.punkassean said:Mike,
Thank YOU for making this all happen. It takes a TON of work to get the ball rolling on a project of this magnitude which is the job you have done that no one else locally would. I think I speak for all the volunteers when I say we are stoked to come out and lend a hand on such a fun project. This event is great for the SB riding community and not to mention so much fun.
Thanks again for all your hard work, here's to more great races in the future!
-Sean
Yep, it's still ready.Bicyclist said:We worked on the XC course, dialed the last berm, and then rode the course.
I was there. Who are you? Were you the guy in white glasses? I was on my silver azonic HT , with a grey fox jersey.Bicyclist said:Today was fun. We worked on the XC course, dialed the last berm, and then rode the course.

-I have a 12-27 and don't have the other roadie clusters and its a tighter ratio than my current 11-32Bicyclist said:I say run a 12-23. I never went into the top 2 or 3 gears on my 12-25, I don't see why you'd need a 12-27.
Maybe set your suspension a little stiffer than the usual rocky settings.
And clipless is a must!!! Coming from me you know it's true, I never rock clips.
I would also run XC tubes if you're not already, no real danger of flats. Tire pressure should be pretty high 'cause there's not really any loose stuff.
maybe I'll do some mid-weight tubes, but I seem to pinch anything that isn't a full on DH tube/tire @ 25-30+psi Last year I flatted out with 20 minutes to start time because I thought I could get away with XC tubes, so you can see why I'm reluctant.Bicyclist said:How bout a Welterweight tube or something that's not a brick, at least?
After riding clips all day Sunday I don't think I'm going back to flats.
Times actually work in mud. They have more float and a stronger spring. You don't come out of your pedals accidentally and can use a bit more body english.Bicyclist said:I'm running the resin cage 545s (I think that's the #). I may want to try some Times because Shimanos blow in the mud, as I learned last summer. What's special about the Times that makes them better than Shimanos?
