Good to hear man, this was my first singletrack ride, i rode at my reservation last week but it was mainly roads. i'm still not close to being back to 100% though i can't spin hard to clear tough climbs and really was doing all the downhill seated strategically placing my foot up to avoid the bumps and was praying on some switchbacks haha. but i'm getting sooo much better day by day, i hope to be able to do easy rides like SST, St. Eds, Tolt soon without needing the gravity assist.evilbob said:Night riding last night at St.Eds/Finn Hill....
Kevin and I are planning on hitting Tolt or something like it this weekend. Let us know if you are interested.Skookum said:Good to hear man, this was my first singletrack ride, i rode at my reservation last week but it was mainly roads. i'm still not close to being back to 100% though i can't spin hard to clear tough climbs and really was doing all the downhill seated strategically placing my foot up to avoid the bumps and was praying on some switchbacks haha. but i'm getting sooo much better day by day, i hope to be able to do easy rides like SST, St. Eds, Tolt soon without needing the gravity assist.
i think that'd be a good ride for me actually i'm gonna be riding easy stuff this week (road riding etc...) and try to stand more and put more and more pressure on the leg to get it used to it. i really think by the time this weekend rolls by i'll be ready for it.Snacks said:
did you guys like my volcano drawing?
Oh yes! We loved your drawing....you have a hidden talent for sure!

Let me know, and like Skookum I can pedal I just can't jump and smash into stuff yet 
but I'm not dead slow either 
we all could shuttle Ranger Creek instead....

Hahaha......my mother doesn't ride on dirt. She has enough trouble staying upright on the pavement, and my father doesn't ride uphill
Thank goodness they live in Eastern WA.
Ok then they get to drive the shuttle vehicle....Snacks said:Hahaha......my mother doesn't ride on dirt. She has enough trouble staying upright on the pavement, and my father doesn't ride uphill

I know. Im slow.... been too busy looking at interbike pictures...... you could always post the picture of boy george again.... although you need to overlay that pic on a waffle cone..... then you'd have a real funny pic.Skookum said:Since it took you this long to come up with "this" as a witty joke i'll spare you a retort.
you just had to go and ask.....
My eyes! My eyes!Skookum said:you just had to go and ask.....
My parents don't hike. They are coming over for the auto swap meet in Monroe...that might give you a better idea of the type of folks they are
ok well tolt it is then, mark a time and i'll see you there.
I'll have to verify the time with my counter part, but I'm thinking 9am.Skookum said:ok well tolt it is then, mark a time and i'll see you there.
AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! Now ill never eat ice cream cones again......Skookum said:you just had to go and ask.....
Just to keep the everyone up to date on the Tolt ride this weekend. It was changed to Sunday at 9am
Not better, different. Have you ridden with JD the guy that made alot of the Griffin trails?Borneo said:
i'd really like Tokul ALOT better if the trails weren't seperated by so much forest road. No continuity really, guess more trail work is needed to bring singletrack together, but really so much moist mucky wet terrain for being elevated on a plateau.....
