How is everybody today?

I saw a bunch of bikes heading down to Diablo this morning for the US Open. I'm pretty psyched to watch the race this weekend.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to squeeze in an XC ride with some friends. The forecast is chance of rain all day so we'll have to see.

What's everybody got planned for the weekend?

where the trails are
riding ALL weekend.
Saturday is jump like a damn fool day.
Sunday is a long early morning road ride with my g/f then a trail ride in the afternoon.
Monday is a delicious combination of riding TO some jumps, then TO a BBQ afterward.

Life is good.

Have a great day :monkey:s !!

Stuff I've got planned this weekend in no particular order:

wedding to attend (night wedding, so it's won't kill the entire day :thumb: )
picnic at mom's
MTB ride
road ride
take the dog running with other greyhounds
grill something
a workout or two

I think that's it.

I scored two goals in my hockey game night. I also took a stick to the jaw and now my jaw hurts. No, I still won't wear a full face cage.

Went on the shop Thursday Night Ride. Had to bail early 'cause the wifey had a photo gig to do. I'll be going to a trail work day on Saturday. I think my folks are coming up to visit us on Monday.

Probably end up painting the living room sometime too.

Babs - way to take one for the team.

What time will you be doing those rides this weekend. I have my boys with me this weekend, but if your mtb ride in particular was an early morning outing, perhaps I could sneak away to ride with you and MBC.

Good morning. May do a road ride that they do in Temple annually in the morning. Gonna get rid of ticks at the house, since the neighbors have my f*cking yard infested and the Frontline won't keep them off of my dog. :mad:

I would like to be added to the list for the milf pics. :devil:

Hey all. Busy weekend ahead. Today we leave and hopefully make it to SLC for an overnight. Then Saturday we should make it to Sacramento. Sunday we spend the night near Napa.


Commuted 3 days this week on the bike - it's nice to see that the bike rack here is full most days now. :thumb:

They were sick, but I got 13 off of the dog last night. I am so freakin' sick of doing that. It has been over 30 of them this week.

I'm out of work around lunchtime today, and I am excited for a gorgeous weekend. Sunny and low 90s, so I will be at the pool and outside doing other fun things! Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!! :weee:

Hey stosh!

Missed ya being around a lot the last couple of days. Glad to see work hasn't completely kicked your ass.

The weekend is pretty bland for me. We're not planning on going anywhere for the holiday---I've got a crew of guys coming in to work on Monday, so I'm gonna hang around to help them along their way. The rebound on my Romic went bye-bye this week, so I sent it off for repair and am bikeless for the next two weeks. One of the guys I ride with has a Kona Coiler he's gonna let me borrow for a ride they're doing on Sunday. Mighty cool of him to do that. I've got some great friends.

I've been out looking at houses the last few days---we need to get out of our rental and in to something more stable if we're gonna welcome a little one into the world in 9 months. I found a few Justine might like, so hopefully we'll get out sometime tomorrow to check 'em out.

Morning y'all.

I don't have any real plans for the weekend except for a trail run tomorrow morning. I think it is 26.2 mile long or something like that :eek:.

The best thing about getting this marathon over is that I will be able to ride my bike regularly again. I am mostly, totally sick of running.

It hasn't been super humid yet, so it's been okay... but yes, it is beginning to get pretty hot. It's great, though! :)
Let us know how you feel about that in August.

It is summer here now. The forecast for May low 70's to low 90's.
