not sure, I just know I biked for 3 miles straight up then started on the preston rr trail, not sure where we went from there. By the end of the ride I was seeing double:o:

I'm not going to bag on you due to incriminating photos in your possession, but I'll ride with you when I'm up there.

ahaaaa. I gave up on photographing the bikes not riding them. As far as the models, well thats a story for another time and place... but watch out for my makeup girl!!





I will say the weight of my camera gear not being there has made me much faster. I might even be able to beat serial midget on the uphills(not likely):D

I'll be in town doing evening rides on the 11th and 12th if you're interested. I have reserves during the day. If you guys are available after 5 let me know. I was thinking Tiger on Friday and Sawyer on Saturday, but that's completely open to change.

Was there still a lot of water up there? I know that a couple days ago some of my friends were riding there and said that the trail was under a solid 6" of water all the way down.

it takes a few days of dry weather but the trail's probably prime now.....

but really i love riding Preston in the rain, it's like pretending your a spawning salmon, but going downstream of course.:p

Hmm, I think I'll have to pass on the spawning salmon idea ;) But I haven't gotten up to preston yet this season since it opened, I should really get going up there soon.

No kidding....that was a mud fest. Don't you love it when you're hosing your bike off at Whistler and you get sprayed in the face by the other people there...I took a nice shot in the face on Sunday!!!!:think:

Ha! You should see it now...it's still covered in mud from Monday, even after riding yesterday :o:

We wash our bikes about as often as we wash our cars.

ahahaa, yeah I don't think people understand the concept that water coming out of a hose doesn't stop at their bike. Saturday I stayed stayed nice and dry...until I went to wash off my bike:dead:
