I'm still thinking big-bikes at this time. But don't get pissed if I change my mind. That wreck at Northstar left me, well, WRECKED. I may not be able to push up/ride up to the top of the hill on my slightly-small, very heavy big bike.

But my plan, at this time, is still to mob the big bike

I'm in for buying some lumber (but I'm broke, so don't expect much) and doing some trail maintenance out at UC. Those trails seriously need it, so it's about time I think.

Yeah, campers is in great shape. I think the magic/sweetness side needs the most work.

As for riding? Up Uconn (shutters) and then down some sweet sweet hills. Mmmm big bike action.

mmmmmmmm.... the beer department. Although I have a feeling that Kelly and friends are going to be hammered by the time I get home and I'm going to be the DDbyD (designated driver by default) to Northstar tonight.

See you guys at Rincon at 8:30. If you're not there, we'll assume that you're somewhere along the fireroad up top and we can meet at the water tanks from there, and see if we just want to drop straight into Chupa/DC, or ride up to the hammered trails further north.

Well, I have an interested buyer for the bike. Problem is, is that I'm looking online at all the new models coming out this year... Even things like the basic Specialized Demo is $3,900. I mean, holy crap dude. It's pricey stuff out there right now!

So, I may hang onto it after all. We'll see. There's no way I'll be able to get a similar bike, with my build, for the same price I'd be selling my 7point for. And I was aware of that. But I didn't think prices on bikes went up THAT much. It's insanity.

Yeah. The kid came and looked at my bike and I started to get sad. With that said, I sent an email to Transition Bikes on Saturday in the hopes that they have a 20mm and a 150mm wheel setup for me to buy, because I blew ANOTHER spoke on my rear wheel on my bike bike. I need new wheels STAT.

Plus, that's really the last thing I need for that bike. Since I'm keeping it, I may upgrade the green bike a little bit instead. Possible new fork, possibly Thomson stem/post. We'll see.
