Is anyone going?

I'll be in if its not too rainy. If its raining, I've got stuff around my house I have to do.... not to be a pooper, but I dont want to drive all the way up there to not ride :(

If it rains as hard as it's supposed to on Saturday, Schaeffer's off limits on Sunday anyway so you might as well ride up at the Shed. Gambrill/Frederick Watershed are the only places you can really ride following a good rain fall anyway.

I'm probably gonna be out on Saturday but I doubt I'll bring a bike (trail work). I thought Sunday was gonna be the rainy day -- Saturday night thru Sunday morning was gonna be the sh*t show.

See ya'll around, I'll probably be on e and the piperun clearing out all the trees across the trail.

Anyone's welcome to come up and ride. Just watch for the ride posts and show up. Directions to the Watershed have been posted several times before and should be available through a search.

okay, I will PROBABLY show for Sunday a.m. at 9:00 at the E - that work for y'all? I can't ride all day so I wanna start early-ish.

I'm doing some work on Saturday from like 8-12 with the Pimp, probably E and the jumps.

ok. how's about we meet up at the top of the pipe run around 9:00am? warm up with a run or two there, and then go check out the fabulous new stuff on evolution? anybody wanting to meet up with me, PM me tonight or tomorrow morning and let me know, i'll be heading out around 8:00am.

don't make me ride by myself guys, that'll mean i have to pedal up the hills after every run ;)

Well, I have bad news..... and its not the weather. My Super T is bent. The left leg is noticably more foreward than the right. I kind of don't want to ride it right now until I have someone who knows somthing look at it. Some people at my shop looked at it and said they dont know, but they would be careful. I'm not gonna chance riding at the shed, because I probably wont be able to get my hands on another fork by Wisp, so I'm just gonna save it for then. If it gets trashed, it gets trashed, but I gotta race Wisp.

Plus, its supposed to be heavy rain and wind tomorrow.

I'd be up for an early XC type ride though.... Kirstin, Wakeatink maybe? (If you dont head to the shed)

yeah, I'm in unless it's still monsoon-ing. 9's cool.

Sanchez and I made it a lot better today, some of the really weak parts are rideable now.

i'll be up for riding the shed next weekend for those non-racing types... just got back from NY to a BIG old box with a mostly assembled new bike. it just needs a few little tweaks and it will be ready to go.

cool whale, we'll meet up next weekend then if you dont mind riding with a newbie :)
i don't mind at all... although i still consider myself a newbie. if we can only find someone with a pickup or a way to shuttle... otherwise, we'll get our workout pushing bikes uphill!
