It shant be a cluster ookie cookie, not on my watch.
If you're there for the first group going up, then you're riding in that truck.
If you're there for the second, second verse, same as the first.
Three, see above.
Four, ok, then you're SOL and jerkin your gerkin in the parking lot waiting for group one to get down and catch you in your shameful exercise in being late and flogging the bishop.
Real simple, I am not waiting around for the shuttle. If you're there and ready to go, game on. If not, eat a rooster.

I have heard different things about Reddish Knob. I have heard that it is fast and flowy, with some climbing, no drops, some drops, good for a big hitting bike, good for a XC bike, trails are fast, trails are moderate, blah, blah, blah! But the one thing I have heard over and over is no matter what route we take, there will be some climbing. Not alot of climbing but there will be some. So what I am going to do is bring my vpfree with my 5 inch fork and my dh fork just in case! So you decide what bike to take.
so should we sum up all this info or what?
Exact place we are meeting (be specific):
Time we are meeting:
Shuttle situation(how are we going to get the shuttles that are already at the top?):
List of all the riders:
How many runs do you think we will get in?
How rough is the terrain?
which of my 15 bikes should i bring?? jk jk

like how much climbing?? 10 feet? (prays...)
Hey Woody, I just sent you a PM telling you i did a little more leg work on finding an all down hill route with basically no climbing, and I think I found one (atleast that's how the topo appears). The only thing is there is no telling it's condition. It looks like it may be well worth at least one run to check into.
if we have enough shuttles we could bring a couple shuttles up first then do another shuttle then it will be about time for lunch and we can all ride in one car up to the top to get everyones cars and we can eat in the car and rest...
What trails are you riding? If it's Flagpole - then Wood-dog has ridden that one.
Okay, some meeting times......
I'm not sure what time everyone agreed to meet in c'ville, but Woody can clarify that one. After that...the guys are meeting me at 9:00 in Waynesboro, we should be on the highway again no later than 9:10ish. Meeting Wannabebonedoc at exit just bareley north of the I81/64W interchange at the Cracker Barrell which will take another 5-10 tops and then that should put us at the bridgewater exit at about 9:40.

can someone do a mapquest for me?
Brad, there is no F***ing way we are doing Flagpole! We will be on the other side of that location. As a matter of fact, why don't you meet up with us and show us where the good runs are at since you are a local, or at least know the place reeeaaaallllyyy well!BUCKET said:
sure, give me the address you are coming from.metalMTB said:

Unfortunately, Flagpole is the easiest trail in the area to shuttle. What trails are you looking at? Reddish Knob is an area - not a trail.wood-dog said:
Health reasons are keeping me from riding anywhere right now.
what trails.... I have no idea, but that is where mud'n'sweat is comming in. He is the one who has been up there and has been doing all the research lately.
Whats up with your health? Nothing serious I hope!

Nope - nothing serious.wood-dog said:
Oh, and you only have to use the directions to the exit off 81. The park and ride is right there.
Bucket, we were thinking of doing Timber ridge, or one of the chutes that head straight down toward the resevoir on briery branch rd. Basically, dropping off at the reddish knob lookout.
Then if it is nothing serious, then you have no reason not to meet up with us and have a fun day.
You do know the rode to the top is one lane? If you have a trailer, then it's gonna be a nightmare getting it to the top - especially if you meet someone coming down the rode and there is no outlet close. Have you ridden those trails before?mud'n'sweat said:
