Thanks for putting up with our pokey butts, guys. We rode only twice all of November and I was feeling the layoff.

Good times though! Thanks for the firewood, ksxmtqxm!

I hate riding without a camera. I mean, what's the point of riding if you can't take pictures?

Did you guys hit the Home Depot trail and the new trail that has all of the rock armoring?

 

[I Are Baboon]

No, we didn't head over to the side of the forest.

 

[berkshire_rider]

Didn't look like you guys did. I've been there 5-6 times and have never seen that bridge.

The was down past the other side of the tower. Ktmsx took us on trails I hadn't ridden before. I never realized just how big Soapstone is.

[berkshire_rider]

Is that a Craftworks "feature"?

 

[berkshire_rider]

Quo has a Craftworks?

Which model???

Definitely a FRM 125. I believe it's a 2003.

 

[Skookum]

Looks like yet another fine winter day riding in the sticks.

i was just thinking on the photo tangent, it must be awesome for you to take pics with such awesome light now that the leaves are gone. There are not that many deciduous trees in the woods around here, along with the low sun, tis mighty gloomy for the camera! As you know it's difficult to get really good shots under the cover of foilage.

Keep em comin man.

 

[splat]

Shifts funny??

Yeah , he has rapid rise. so it shifts opposite of what I'm used to.

 

[Quo Fan]

Definately was a fun day. the reason we switched bikes, was the ride started with a climb, and since I had my "stupid" bike, I said "Hey Splat, how about we switch?" and he agreed!!!! Was fun riding his XC machine, eventhough it shifts backwards, and had half the travel of my bike.

We went down one trail that I rode the last time I was there, and it was way more fun with more suspension and big rotors.

The bike is a Craftworks FRM 125 2002 model with a '03 Marzocchi Z-1 Freeride fork. 5" front, 6" rear.

Must be Bershire's old one!!

 

[Quo Fan]

Nope. His was newer than mine.

Quo - how much does your Craftworks weigh set up like it is?????

 

[Quo Fan]

Never put it on a scale, but I figure it weighs in the 40+lb range. Pedals really well, even with the rear set up fairly soft.
