picked up my truck... 99 dakota 4wd... v8 biatch, 16 mpg rules... scored a sweet deal on this beast... very stoked...

before (last week)... lil rubber... down by the lake about a mile from our house

yesterday... new michelin 31s... on our driveway

 

[partsbara]

pretty happy with the way the garage turned out... the rest of the place is a shambles... priorities straight, garage comes first..

 

[dfinn]

looks good with the 31s. It's amazing how pvssy a truck can look with undersized rubber.

what lake is that, looks nice.

 

[partsbara]

thanks finn... we re in penn valley... it s a man made lake, lake wildwood... we ended up renting since our 300K budget would only stretch to a mobile home out here...

oh well, can t have everything...

 

[partsbara]

hey finn, you and kev ought to come down sometime... fire up the bbq and drink some german piss... no spare baeds, but you guys can fight over the couch... plenty of floorspace...

sweet deck to have a grill..

i think the grill will get fired up again tonight...

 

[dfinn]

damn, that's a nice looking pad you got yourself. Any good trails around there?

Looks like your bar is set up on your worktable. Is that a bottle of Drambuie? (Or however you spell it)

auburn sounds fun this weekend but if I end up making it out of tahoe it will be either to ski at mammoth or ride my bike in downieville. things are starting to get really hectic, moving in just about 2 weeks. you know how that goes though.

I'd be riding the bottom 1/2 of the DH trail, but you gotta pedal up to get down. No shuttling for a little while still.

The RM Santa Cruz ride looked like the teenage fan club. Maybe we should have the adults-only Auburn RM ride.

I'm up for that. You going to ride Joaquin Miller this weekend? I was thinking of shuttling on Sat morning.

 

[dfinn]

what bike are you taking out there /?

XC bike. Well, a heavy XC bike. IH MK3. It's a decent amount of climbing, about 1700 feet. It's fun on the way down though.

 

[sanjuro]

I'm up for that. You going to ride Joaquin Miller this weekend? I was thinking of shuttling on Sat morning.

I am 33% decided about riding at Pacifica, 33% riding at Joaquin Miller, and 33% for doing nothing.

Is that precise or what?

1300 ain't bad!!!

I'll have to check as I have the dates on my home PC. But I am planning on going up at least twice this summer, once with Zark, and one is still undecided. We are going to have to hook up and drink some beer!

Dude, are you actually ready for that? I mean, even I think Ciaran's wierd. He makes a decent trail guide, tho. You should head down to LA and ride Mt. Wilson and some OC/San Diego stuff...

Nice place. Can't wait to drop by myself.

I thought part of being a mail-order bride was that you didn't every have to get a job...isn't that the deal??

 

[valve bouncer]

I've been hearing stories of Northern California and the ready availability of a certain plant said to induce wild orgies and licentious behaviour in those that partake in it's evil charms. Please Partsbara, in the name of all that's holy, stay away from the devil's lawn.

KW, isn't there some stuff on the south shore that's shuttle'able and ready to ride?

 

[kidwoo]

Yes. It's gnarly though. Come prepared to use your body armor. Seriously.

Parts.....give me a ring tonight. I'm not sure I need to be riding these trails right now with my shoulder but I could hook you up with some people to ride with. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be in town this weekend. There's some good skiing to be had just south of here I've been wanting to hit.
