last year, they did build a go around the mud pit, BUT due to all the rain the mud pit expanded
I am assuming the course will be the same this year, to make it long enough they pretty much have to use that road climb and the downhill section after that, maybe towards the bottom they will make some changes but it still would be pretty much the same type of st.......and hopefully this year it wouldnt rain and they will make a another go-around the expanded mud pit
And that root section (after the field) was changed after the 24 last year so that part will be less scetchy

yes...stosh said:
I'll figure something out. Someone bought the frame I was looking at to replace my Blur, and I didn't find out until after I had already put the Blur frame on ebay, and now Yeti doesn't have any more of the one I want.TreeSaw said:What, what, what???
I'd loan you one of mine, but you'd look a little funny riding a small
McGRP01 said:Doug, you're going to be racing DH again!!?!!?! Sweet!
ummmmmmmmm......nope
Platty does have 3 xc races this year.
TreeSaw said:Congrats on the team thing!!!
Maybe I'll try to meet up with you next week to do the Wednesday race thing. Gotta check the calendar.
YES - you should !
plus any/every monkey that shows up for a wednesday race, I will by them a beer after!
I liked the root section, bastards.douglas said:
Well that is funny, My degree is in Information Systems with a Minor in Business Admin, I work at Bayer (as in asprin) doing work on a new system they put in dubbed SAP, its a major organizational nightmare so i am working to fix it. As for now they have me in the effing accounting dept dealing with bad books in the system.stosh said:
I HATE ACCOUNTING will do anything to get out of it. I am already looking for a new job but this one is fronting the $$$
Anyone know of web design/ admin jobs opening?

D'OH! That sucks! I am confident that you'll figure something out though. What are you planning on riding at MTB Weekend? I am sure Sq-Earl would be willing to trade on and off on your Singlespeed, but his Yeti is only a medium.Echo said:I'll figure something out.

Morning,

No riding here: orthopedic appointment Tuesday, EKG yesterday, pre-op this afternoon, plate and screws Monday. After that, I am told, four months of recovery.

I still remember the triumphant feeling the first time I pedaled full circle after trashing my knee years ago.Heidi said:Good to read about everyone riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the clearance from my dr. yesterday to do some EASY spins and I mean easy. Unfortunately, I cannot yet bend my knee enough to do the full circle motion. I'll try swimming for a few days and maybe by this weekend I can actual sit on a saddle and turn the cranks

I will almost certainly be riding the singlespeed at MBW.TreeSaw said:

Does that mean you won't be making any appearances at monkeyfest? I'll send you along some more healing vibes
No doubt! I've been in pain for over 7, but I was at least able to ride here and there.TreeSaw said:4 months
Good Luck JBP

Was out sick the last 2 days... probably should still be home sick, but considering how much work called me at home yesterday, I guess they don't really believe in sick days.
Anyways... fighting some kind of flu/sinus/resperatory thing... I feel ok except for the fever. I go from shivering cold to sweating through my clothes in about 10 minutes... pretty much sucks. In being home for 2 days, I got very restless, so I spent some time cleaning up the Yeti. Noticed LOTS of damage in the form of chips and dings - fortunately, nothing of any substance to the frame though. My wife got me some Pedros stuff for my bday that I finally got around to using. let me just tell ya... their citrus degreaser is WAAAAAY better than simple green, and bike lust is pretty good too - especially on the matte black parts (bars, stem, post).
I've got about zero energy from this damn cold, so I haven't ridden since Saturday and probably won't be riding much anytime soon. I'm hoping to get my camping gear aired out this weekend for MBW.

Yeah I need to get my camping stuff out too, I think we're sleeping out the Xterra though.
Our tent is huge and I don't want to take up that much room at the camp site.
Hope you feel better, some guy in the office has the same thing. Good thing I'm like a super hero and never get sick.
Noway! Im in Bayer Material Sciences Pittsburgh, dont worry im not planning on staying but it is a pretty cool gig to get 3 weeks out of college...splat said:
Morning everybody!
Yesterday was a pretty uneventful day. I hungout at the house for most of the day watching tv and movies. Finally I went and got a totally kickass Reese's Blizzard from DairyQueen and it was at that point that I "realized" I'm gonna have to work my ass off to find some work this summer. lol. So after I enjoyed my frozen treats I went out and picked up almost a dozen apps, so should be turning them in a little later today and hopefully, hopefully I'll get a few interviews at the least. Then I watched the documentary about Steve McQueen on TurnerClassicMovies, seems like he was a pretty damn cool guy but later turned into a bit of a crazy person. Then proceded by watching the complete version of Bullitt on TCM as well.
Today, I'll probably go riding, pick up some lunch (with some hot chicks of course
) then start preparing all my stuff for Angelfire since I'll be leaving tomorrow for it.
That is all.
