Has anyone been riding out at Pinenuts lately? I have no idea what the conditions are like over there right now.

I am hoping to head out of the basin and do some riding in the Gardnerville/Carson/possibly Reno area this weekend.

I'm getting sick of the snow.

i have the bullit in working order right now. but not my xc bike. so, let's check back later this week and see what the weather is like.

i keep my p1 at work. i just took it out and rode prison hill at lunch.
a. the p1 is not suited for that ride.
b. prison hill is boring. but there are lots of bunnies and they make me smile.

that is all.

i dont think anybody has been out there riding or working on the DH tracks lately. i went to sandys a few weeks back and it was ripping so i can only imagine that the pinenuts are in just as good shape. i gota try and get some ridding in for the otter so i may be up for a ride friday if the weathers good.

Can't go Saturday. Gonna go watch the Kirkwood free ski comp.
But Friday afternoon or Sunday morning I'm going to attempt to ride my bike around.
I have no idea what condition pinenuts will be in after this snow. Could be messy, yeah?

Hacksaw, PM sent. holla back.

You have room for maybe one more on the shuttle? I might be riding the board that day, but as I might not be, I would love to work the kinks out of my sea otter DH bike.

if you can direct me in the right location of where to ride....
I have a jeep that can fit one bike inside and 2 on the back. friend has a truck. so 3 people works just fine for me.

I might not be worth a rats ass for directions. I rode there once out of my mind, so memory is a bit hazy.

i'm outta work at 3.30 tomorrow. so, 4.00 at pinenuts?????
only issue is the scattered rain shows forecast for tomorrow. i'm not adverse to riding if things are just a bit damp, but full on muddy will not be good.

if someone would PM me with some directions on how to shuttle, i would be much obliged. anyone?
I don't want to ride the same lame-o xc loop there.
