Yeah, its 830 on a friday night so no one will likely be checking this before, but a group of us are going to hit up the waterfront tomorrow.

Anyone who wants to learn about trials or just rip it up with us is welcome to show.

Old Town by the waterfront (30th and Mccarver I believe) at 11 tomorrow morning.

whats trials? haha silly wanabe. trials kicks ars and is the the most chalenging aspect of mountain biking. very few people can do it. but its sick watching those who are really good.

Is that a gsr hooligan in that picture? aren't those stays like 17.5" long? hm.. seems about 2.5 inches longer than they should be...

Yeah, its not the most appropriate picture, but a quick google image search turned it up. The only other pictures were of the skinsuite types.

Next ride will be next weekend at Lincoln Park for some crazy natural riding. Ill post again when things become a little clearer as far as the time.

BTW, the ride rocked. I almost died, flatted twice and dented my brand new frame. Trials rocks though - cant think of a better way to spend a saturday.

Looks like the ride this week is gonna be saturday at lincoln park around 11.

If anyone from the south (tacoma, Olympia) is planning on going up and wouldnt mind giving two poor college students a ride up, we would be much obliged - the bus is a major pain.
