I'm down for whatever. Just have to give the gf a heads up on weather to make dinner or not. I would be down for sonic breakfast and in n out post ride meal...
Gnar Star September 20th!!!!
- Thread starter Total Heckler
- Start date
Jim Boy's Taco's
In-N-Out is closer to GnarStar, and it'll be more about dinner time when we eat there.
Josh... the last few times I've done day trips to Northstar, I've not gotten home until about 8:30 or 9:00pm, so you shouldn't plan on being home until about 10:00pm... I'd tell Emily to cook for one, and that you'll get yourself some munchies on the way home.

K guys. I'm out.
Josh, I txt messaged you my new address in downtown. Derek will be at my place at 5:15. We'll be waiting downstairs on Taylor Street. You'll see my truck on the street. We can load up there.

Alright the car is loaded. See you guys in the am. I'm bringing my Nikon d40.
Epic day guys and girls!We need to all hook up in Santa Cruz soon.
We should do a weekend ride in october. When does N* close?
N* closes oct 5th
Damn! I'm going to parkfield that weekend...
FYI, there is no Sonic in Sacto that I'm aware of. There are 2 of them in Roseville. Lead Hill/North Sunrise at the gas station located on the southwest corner and the other one is off Hwy 65 & Pleasant Grove....
I'm just getting off work. Maybe I'll see some of you guys today.

fosters is better than Sonic. by far. just me 2cents
Awesome day out there. I got to really test out my Primer for the first time and was really pleased with how it handled everything.
It was a ton of fun driving you guys out there! almost 10 hours of driving for a little over 5 hours of riding. So worth it. The trails were way better than the previous year. And nobody crashed. A VERY successful trip.

It was nice meeting you............ From a distance:biggrin:
It sucks, I forgot to tell my buddy to bring his camera. I wanted to get some riding pics of the new bike for the Karpiel website. Then again, I was just too caught up in riding and trying to get comfortable on it. Oh well, I'll try again in 2 weeks.
Awesome riding with everyone, we had a great time despite Kelly's fork malfunction. A santa cruz ride should definitely be in order!
Ditto.
I felt the same way. I wanted to get some pictures of the only time I made it over there this season, but I was honestly having such a good time riding and breaking in/getting used to my new bike. I really wasn't too into stopping.
Hell yes. Riding with you guys out there was a lot of fun! So weak about the fork. Any idea what happened yet? I also finally got a run on Gypsy without someone stopping on the lip/landing of the bigger jump at the bottom of the trail. Such a fun jump. You can get some serious air on that one.
As for a Santa Cruz ride, **** yeah that needs to happen. I cant this weekend, maybe next (since I don't think I can go to the Northstar race).

I'll be back up at GnarStar this weekend. After that, besides a possibly Downieville run in October, I'm home in the bay area until next season, so UCSC will certainly be getting plenty of traffic from my bikes. 
Here are some photos from the day.... Josh and Pretty Mike did not come out well...

well the other 2 pictures are of Alex and Chester.
Email if you want them!
I dont know chester so if you do hit him up and I can send it off.

Sweet pic ! I look pretty good.And yea Im down to go with you Dereck, just gotta check the schedual as always.
What!!!!!!!!! No pictures of me going slow? I'm offended!!!!!!!!!!!!
Todd was KILLIN' it that day!
Todd- CJ got a few pics of you on Boondocks, want em big or small?
Josh- Looks like an o-ring on the PAR chamber for Kelly's fork burped and created a gnarly negative air chamber that kept the fork stuck down. I pulled the whole thing apart last night and got it sorted out. I just need to figure out if I'm going to get rid of the extra PAR chamber to keep it from happening again or not. All the seals look good, so it was probably just not good enough tolerances on the seal or something.

Brand new polished Karpiel Disco and I wear an Evil Bike jersey.
Josh... that berm on Livewire claimed another. Think I gave myself a minor concussion, hurt my neck and back pretty good, too. Knocked the wind out of myself.
Cracked a little piece of my helmet, but the impact was hard enough to get me to buy a new helmet anyway.
Blah. I'm in such major pain.
Might be out on the trail bike at UCSC this weekend just for a mellow double-looper.

Dang Mike that sux!Glad your ok,yea i thought it was just me with that berm ,seemed like everytime I hit it I got thrown another direction.We hit UC this sunday and considering how dusty and blown out it waz it was still a good day of riding.As soon as the rains come Im going to go out and do some trail surgery, if anyone else wants to help that would be peachy.
Damn dude glad you are ok.
Todd, I might be down to help once we get some rain. My phone hasn't worked since Saturday morning. Ugh. So pissed.

I'm on a mission to do a ton of trail surgery this winter out there. Mending that bridge toward the bottom of Dead Campers is on my priority list. Amongst other things like raking, shoveling some of the smoother trails on the North side of the trails like Z's, Sweetness, etc. They need serious help. And Chupa needs some work where the trail pretty much disappears for like 20 feet. Haha...
dang Mike, glad you're ok. What berm was that?
One of the last ones. That berm ate me alive.
I was havin trouble on that last big one before the funky step up jump thing.As for a trial surgery day that would be cool if you guys could help!When it starts raining I will plana day for us to do some work and afterwards have a bike tune up/BBQ at my house.
I'm down. We can maybe shoot for a Saturday? How does that sound to you guys?
I'm game to help. I just rode...something. Not sure what it was, off the water towers, there's a bridge gap thingy that I hit four times because it was so smooooth...finger has finally healed.
Nate, you maybe down to do a DH run tomorrow am? I'm thinking park at the bottom and hike up. Meet a little before 7am and head up.
I'm actually going to make a thread about it.
