How far is Crested Butte from a town over 10,000 population? Surely you have heard of San Francisco. Big town, millions of people live within fifty miles of Fairfax, while thousands of people within fifty miles of Crested Butte.
pretty sure they're called "hall of fameS" in the plural...
you can fly to SFO from Rochester for $476...rental car included for five days..thru orbitz..
I am going to San Diego in October if I can. I might consider a stop in SF. It all depends...
You can call them whatever you want, I still have no interest. Meh.
And you share your lack of interest by telling us about it. Your point?
I don't get it. You are basically saying the Hall should come to you, and anywhere else just sucks.
Quite simple actually. SF is a city of millionaires for millionaires. If your not loaded your not welcome there as has been my experience when I last visited there. Most mountain bikers cannot afford to go to SF to celebrate the history of the sport we love. Crested Butte is in the same boat unless you're wealthy. The KOA in Gunnison was $160 for 2 nights in a mouse infested cabin.....I don't get it. You are basically saying the Hall should come to you, and anywhere else just sucks.
Where are you coming from that it will cost you $1250 to get to SFO but somehow not cost anything to get to the current Hall? How many times have you been to the current, super accessible Hall?
You don't need to stay in SF or spend nearly that much on food to visit Fairfax. Plenty of inexpensive lodging in San Rafael and other spots along the 101. As for "actually" riding your bike on trails, of course you can do that in and around Fairfax.
Come on out. We'll go for a ride and I'll buy you a round and a sausage at Gestalt. Or don't, and enjoy making your own history.
Seems only fair that they should have the Hall of Fame there - since there's hardly any legal singletrack left to ride.
Is that Lake Irwin ? I camped there once and rode the Dyke trail the next day.FREE lodging near Crested Butte:
Pretty nice, I'd say.
Yes it is. So you can just show up. Walk in and setup camp?FREE lodging near Crested Butte:

Nope. That's Emerald Lake. Up near Schofield Pass.
Yuppers. You might have to work a bit to find an open camp site... but all free - all the time.
Yeah, the lack of riding is awful in Marin! Major plus is that Tamarancho is SO much fun though!!! One of my favorite places to ride!!!!
Who said it was moving to San Francisco. I have always wanted to go to it , and now that it's moving semi close by I can.
Is this serious? Did you fail geography? Do you realize you could fly into sac, hit Tahoe one day, auburn the next, Rockville after that, then some Bay Area riding and hit the "museum" on the way? All this and you can never even touch SF.
About freaking time, she rocks. I saw her blister through a rock garden during practice at Snowshoe in 2001 like it was a gravel parking lot. Two other top pros complained and had it removed from the course because they couldn't get through it. I've had mad respect for her since then.
The funny thing is that she never really wanted to race DH but she was good at it so sponsors started throwing money at her, she won a few races and said "alright I guess I'll do it."
The last time I went to SF I brought the ex. We rented a Corolla and stayed in the Holiday Inn. Since neither Her or I eat at McDonald's we lived the food end of the trip up a bit. We visited her cousin in Tiborun, hence my comment about tolls and fines. I have no intention in visiting the pile of turd that is everything north of the bridge again in my life. To qualify I find I do not enjoy visiting the wealthy areas of most American Cities. I know I am supposed to be in awe of the excesses of the wealthy, but I am not. Like Fairfax I accept that I am monentarily challenged and won't be booking any trips to Fairfax, The Hamptons, or Grosse Pointe...
So missing out on Santa Rosa, Bear Republic Brewery, Russian River, Lagunitas, all the awesome mountain bike trails up that way, Pt Reyes, etc. That sucks.
Come to Sonoma county, 1/2 hour north of Fairfax. Decent trails, nice wineries, killer food. We even had a demolition derby a couple weeks ago.
