Oh yeah, that would be mine. If you don't mind, just stash it somewhere and I'll hook up with you the next time I'm up there(should be soon). I forgot it after we ate at that Grand Buffet thing. That buffet was unreal!!!!!brokeONE said:

soo, who all broke something very bad on their bikes?! I know of one broken frame and one blown out shock. theres gotta be more than that, though.
Did you get yours all dried out after the WNC water torture?motomike said:
I actually lost a hydro on my Gemini. Both wheels have to be trued (needed for a while), fork re-oiled and possibbly seals replaced, and new left crankarm if the one I have comes any loose again.
hahaha not yet. It drained a few cups out at the campsite. I'm sure there is still a lot of water trapped inside the frame. Time to start-a-drillin. Wet/cold or not, 2 miles of unneeded climbing or not, that was the best ride I think I've had in a very long time. The best way to break in a bike is to drop it into Mills River about 17 times.mtnbiker66 said:
hydro? what?WKC said:
you know it!
^^yeah, I just took that tape off of those pants. Thanks for waking me up out of a beautiful dream and dutch oven. It was so peaceful...Then BAM! I'm being attacked by a bunch of drunk mountain bikers chanting DUCT TAPE DUCT TAPE HIS LEGS! I luckily defended myself with a quick series of donkey kicks to random parts of the offenders' bodies and retreated to a corner of my tent. such fun
I no longer have a rear brake, Mike, as in, I lost "hydro"-lic. Gosh, fLIPPING IDIOT!
It's so weird. One minute it works, the next it doesn't. I'm bleeding it as soon as I get the Hayes kit.
ok I am kinda lazy, so I am just copying a post I made on my local forum with some slight editing...
Ok so I am having slight issues getting all the photos loaded up. So here are a few
Our group at the top of the Eastern SlickRock Trail
Teresa(non-Monkey), trying to make it up a steep section
Jason (non-Monkey) walking up the same section
Me coming back from a 30mile ride It was a LITTLE muddy. BUT DAMN, can you tell I just had FUN?
Lou (LooNatic) coming back from riding Thrift Cove to Black Mountain
RideMonkies loading up for a day at of Shuttling in N Mills
Telling us what we already knew! That we had to freaking WALK 1.5 miles from the locked gate on the Parkway to our vehicles, then drive ALL the way back to Asheville and around to N Mills. At least it wasnt snowing, oh wait YES IT WAS
Good times

From Saturday
The view from the Shuttle drop-in Point
After the first short descent we regroup at the Trace/Spencer intersection
Some minor adjustments to the Yeti
Just after the first short climb to the top of Trace, its all downhill from here
The gap at the end of Trace
Lots of waiting for the Shuttle vehicles to return
And finally me checking to make sure the luggage cart goes downhill good
