Sh!t, I'm in SB and I have school on Monday... Maybe I should skip the race on the 14th and just do the one on the 20th... Though missing those classes both Mondays might be okay...
edit: I guess that 21st race isn't happening... I think I'll be there the weekend of the 14th though.

Yeah I dont know about a race that weekend. But I will be there giving my Primer hell.
Kelly and I are going for sure, we'll proabably drag some other people with us too.
I am hoping I will be ok to go. I dislocated my good (non-previous-surgery) shoulder on Sunday...
That sucks... hopefully it heals quick.
what the.... dangit Josh, you're going to have to start landing on your head or something instead of throwing your arms out to keep your shoulders safe
If you guys all do go, where's everyone planning on staying?
I'm just planning a day trip. Doctor says I may have a partial tear and for sure stretched the ligaments. It isn't too painful but it just popped out randomly. Hope taking it easy this week will help...
Yeah! I wish I had a video to show him the proper head-back lander technique.what the.... dangit Josh, you're going to have to start landing on your head or something instead of throwing your arms out to keep your shoulders safe

I'll be there that entire weekend! Oh, and with a freshly rebuilt DHX 5.0 Coil, rebuilt and tampered with by the guy who DESIGNED the DHX coil for Fox... 
Damn Mike. That sounds sweeeet. =]
So after looking at my schedule I realized I can only make it for a day trip for sure. Saturday the 20th.

anyone planning a day trip for the race day? i gotta work saturday afternoon, so that sux... dont have a problem leaving saturday night...
Josh,
If I throw down for gas, maybe I can hitch a ride in your Audi monster?
Or we can take my truck if everyone throws down.

No worries, lets take my ride. =] It will still be cheaper. Plus you drove last time.
Deal. Sounds like a plan, man. 
Hey Josh can I get in on the ride up?Only If Mandy bails though, cause then we will drive up together of course.I will pay all ur gas if I can go up with u.
Talked to the wife.
I'm in for a day trip on the 20th. Josh, can you pick me up on the way?

I sure can. We should leave early.
Todd, any word on Mandy? Any last night, I was just giving you some crap about not going. =] Next night ride will be planned so you can come along.
It sounds like Wednesday nights are going to be night ride nights. We did a 16-17 mile ride last night. BRUTAL climbs. Took about 3 hours. heh

Josh, so N* has no childcare for the Mt. bike park, so Mandy is out.So if I can roll with u that would be cool.
Bummer about the childcare thing. Of course you can roll with! When should we leave in the am?
What day are you all going up?
Cool man!Well if the park opens at 10 , proly should leave about 530 6 im thinking?Ill bring the rockstars.
Josh, if you guys plan to get breakfast, even fast food, on the way, it would be wise for you guys to pick me up around 5:30. Plus, altitude changes the effectiveness of just about everything on the trails up at 5,000-8,000 feet. It'll give us time to get there, and tune our bikes a little bit before we hit the trails.
You have a rack for 3 bikes on your roof, right? So you, me and Todd can pile into your OUTTIE Aye-for?

Wow we are going to be up early. So we should leave SC at like 5am? Rockstars or Monsters will be necessary. =]
I can hold 4 bikes total. With Todd, Mike, and myself I have one more open spot. I have plenty of room for gear in the back as well. If one more person wants to join us, I need to do some roof rack rearrangements before we head up there. I have 4 bike carriers on the car, but one of them is a fork mount. But I do have a 4th frame mount one, I just need to swap it out with the fork mount.
Yes, the A4 will be slow, but damn we will look good rollin up at North Star. haha
EDIT - Pat, we are heading up Saturday the 20th in the AM.

Pat- Kelly, Clancy, my buddy CJ and myself will be heading up friday night the 19th. It'll be a good one, but we could probably squeeze one more in the truck if you can am-trak it or something up to us.
Awesome!
Sweet!Gettin cited!Took the DH out today for 2 runs down that one trail at that one place.Felt pretty good ,blew a tube, hopefully not the tire too.Howz the 220 doin Josh?
Nice! Lame about the tube. Speaking of... I need to pick up some tubes just in case I burp my ghetto tubeless while I'm out there.
The 220 is awesome. Only 2 real rides on it so far. I need to bring it out more. I would like to do some dead campers action on it. I haven't been down that trail in over a year now (since I last had a big bike).
How do you feel about a early morning ride next week Todd? Is it a possibility? If not, maybe we can pull a before dark run or two? I'm slammed this weekend with Emily's sister coming to visit from out of town and being in a wedding all day on Saturday in SF.
Yes we will do an AM ride on that one trail that u said that I did twice today.Maybe we could get in a run tonight?630 7 ish?
Have I ever rode that one trail that one time with you guys? I'm trying to figure out how to escape work early and I've been jonesin' to ride lately.
Ive never done it with ya, its the best warm up we have for the N*.Rocky loose, dusty and a little steep with some roots here and there.
Ah i see. Still going 630-7ish? Call me up if you guys do.
Ok not goin to happen tonight .Maybe next week do a AM run or we can do one after you get off work Brian.
Gettin' stoked for riding this Saturday!
But my rollerblading injuries need to heal up.
I learned to fishbrain last night... then I fell doing it and have a huge lump on my shin and a bruised hip.

Haha I remember those...
Wait until you start doing alioop ones. Way more 'fun' when you fall haha.
Super pumped for this weekend! Can't wait. I am hoping to get on my Primer for a couple more rides this week to warm up/break in/tune it some more.

I'll be warmed up... if by warmed up you mean I'll still be warm from getting out of bed.
I'm frickin' STOKED.
I gotta' get a spoke in my rear wheel and bleed my front brake. Those Codes have air-in-the-line issues. But I still love them.
