Anyone doing anything fun on a bike with the rest of the weekend? I'm dying to break in the Preston, preferrably on a fun trail that isn't at Snowshoe or Wintergreen.
Now that it's beginning to dry out...

hey a friend and i are trying to ride wakefeild at about 10 am tomorrow. we will be meeting at the very first parking lot at wakefield. i myself will be on my preston
That sounds like a plan. I live close by so I can be there no problem. Let me know if anything changes.
I really have to put that on my short-list of places to ride next year.
Yeah, Diablo looks like a totally amazing place. I would love to go up this holiday weekend but the timing is wrong and I don't have the hundred bucks or so to spare that the trip would probably cost.
hey del if your looking at this. i and my friend will probibly be there closer to the 10:30-11 mark
It would be a pretty long day but it's doable as a daytrip. Diablo is just a little over 4 hours door to door from DC, assuming no traffic issues.
After today they're operating on weekends only from 9am-4pm. Leave DC at 5am and get there right around when the lifts open. Ride, Ride, Ride. Leave Diablo around 5pm and be back in town around 10pm.
we left from rockville at 6am and was on the lift by 11am. lapped it out for 2 hours and took a beer (and bike maintenance) break. lapped it out again for 3 hours and then got pretty drunk
on some beer and aftershock. the lift was signed to close at 6pm so we did 3 more great drunken runs before calling it a day. left diablo a little after 6pm and got back to rockville by 11pm with a few spots of traffic.it was a perfect day to ride although upper dominion and alpine were closed for the day. bmw to stigmata to dom's denial to the deck drop was one of our favorite runs... :biggrin:
