Yep. Not really overcast, actually, but very hazy skies. That, combined with the bright sun, gave the completely uniform backdrop.stosh said:

OCC was fun. Can't believe I've never been there. We grabbed some pizza with Ray and Devon afterward and sent them on their way. Rob and I had a great weekend and it was fun hanging out with you and your family.
any Pics of Said cake Topper ?bluebug32 said:You guys are great and I had so much fun!!! And I think we'll take up Aubrey's offer on borrowing your cake topper one day!
Pics? It might have been THE BONK but I think that if that old dude could've got his hands on me he might've killed me. He was seriously pissed. But then again he might have been offering me some ice and I was just hallucinating his anger. Its really hard to say at this point.stosh said:

They can't have kids until they ride with us for awhile!!!

We felt pretty silly yesterday because we never realized you had a sister!
Good Morning!
Spent the weekend just relaxing. The heat was opressive.......could not find the motivation to do much of anything. Played a little golf on Saturday with some old friends, but that was about it.
Congrats, stosh!! You both look happy and relieved.

I thought she was a friend of yours and then she started calling your mom, "mom" and I was like, "huh??" I've known about your brother, but I swear you've never mentioned her.stosh said:
Wow... stosh actually got married!
Who would have thunk it a mere 4 years ago...???
Congrats stoshy-pants.

Yo all.
Got to Jiminy Peak by 2 on Saturday - just in time to get caught in the LONGEST lift line I had seen there ever. Did a few solo runs before it deluged - total whiteout conditions on the lift up! It was nice to see tons of "Pedroites" trying out a little bit of DH! The dude on the lift in front of me kept cheering louder and louder as it rain increased in his face - I was glad someone was motivated to ride. Rain runs were great, actually. They washed all the mud off the rocks and I rode the streams down!
Sunday was even better - got in a few muddy runs with my wife, then hit up the Sinister bikes skill clinic and got schooled in making fast turns , picking lines and hopping steel water pipes by Mickey, FTW and Jamie Ford - awesome people, lemme tell you. The clinic at some point turned into a "let's ride as fast as we can" group ride which was good for my slow ass until I wiped out pretty hard on a hip jump. The sound of my carbon fiber helmet grinding across small rocks is a very unusual sound to say the least.
The trails tacked up and I hooked up again with my wife and a childhhood friend of hers who also got into DH'ing - they ran into each other on the lift line! Small world - so we did a few more runs until the lift closed and then drank good old 'Merican budweiser in the lot.
Killed my shoulder, all my pivots and I have no back brake/brake fluid left at all - all worthy losses for such a good time.

Nah...no monkey humping her ear. I never would have guessed....stosh said:
CONGRATULATIONS to you and Aubrey! Definitely post up some more pics for us too! I'm glad to hear that everything went well (as planned).
I had an AWESOME weekend with my hubby & daughter. Friday night was my brother's birthday so I made him a cake (I'll find a pic later) and we had a BBQ. Saturday morning Sq-Earl and I hit the roads with our road bikes and did a nice 22 mile ride. Then, on Sunday we decided to hit Jiminy Peak for the day. It was slick and the first couple of runs saw me on the ground almost as much as I was on my bike. (see ride reports for a little more detail).
Today I am teaching some lessons and hanging with the baby before I lead a women's XC ride this evening.

What do you ride? We were at J-Peak on Sunday too. I was going to look for monkeys but realized I didn't know what they rodeJim Mac said:

The main reason I didn't go on Sunday is because I didn't feel like riding down alone. Wish I had known you guys were going.
We decided pretty last minute and it worked out. There were tons of people there....had to wait in lift lines! We got there at lunch time and the lift (big one) closed at 5pm so we didn't get too many runs in. I am working on breaking in my new DH bike. It's definitely different than my Iron Horse.McGRP01 said:Poop.
Stand in line!Tame Ape said:
Congrats Stoshy!
Blue Kona Stab. I hope it makes it through the rest of the season! I also busted out an old BMX Mesh "Clifton Park Sports" Jersey I found in the back of my clothes drawer for a little bit more of a local effect! I also spent most of the day in the Sinister clinic, which was mostly up top.TreeSaw said:What do you ride? We were at J-Peak on Sunday too.

What were you riding, Treesaw? Tigg, you should have come!
Next time you want to go, drive down to my house and we can carpool. I am close to the 90/87 interchange - perfect Jiminy "meet up" point!McGRP01 said:Poop.
I was on my Black Yeti AS-X and my husband was on his Red Bullit. I was wearing my Trailblazers (red & yellow flames) jersey and Sq-Earl had his Thor jersey on. You may have seen me in a heap of mud a few times throughout the dayJim Mac said:
My bike and I were having some disagreements with a couple of sharp, slick turns 
I definitely know the feeling. We didn't take any of our own wedding pics. Friends and family and the photographer (my Uncle's friend) gave us lots though.stosh said:
Edit: I'm looking forward to seeing the cake too
Actually the cake topper rocked and you should be looking forward to it. Hopefully people got some good pics of the old bikes we used as well.TreeSaw said:I definitely know the feeling.

Will do. Thanks for the offer.Jim Mac said:
