we got a break in the rain yesterday and tn and i went out for some urban. I hit my first 3 foot drop. i made some major progress, and i am ready to go out again.
ride? is that what I am suppose to do with all the bikes in my garage??
Still raining here also. I was thinking of building up the snow bike just to see if I still have all the parts. Then I thought, what the hell am I doing provoking this bad weather :mumble:
I might build the Kona Hardtail back up and try and learn some trials type stuff

No ride today. Gym.
Did my first night ride of the season yesterday with crazy white dude.
Sheesh man... one of these days I'm going to drive up there and raid your "shop" for some parts... seems like you're always changing a build or working up a new bike... You clearly have too many parts and too much gear for your own good.Instigator said:Still raining here also. I was thinking of building up the snow bike just to see if I still have all the parts.

Rode Camp J yesterday at lunch time, fifty degrees or so, comfy once warmed up, going again today.
Did the TNUA ride again, 53 riders this time. The pace picked up a bit, but somehow I still managed to stay with the lead group. Not a drop of rain, so a big HAHA to the people who wussed out.

Wow dude, that's pretty fast!
I'm recovering from a nasty fall, sustained Sunday at Diablo.
It was worth it!
Have the normal sore/skinned elbows and knees, bruised ribs,
as well as pulled abdomen mucle(s?).
Can't even wair underwear it hurts so much!
Endoed hard; even got a "ground-rush"
and probably a slight concussion. I saw your large
group, but could only make out brown-haired Lisa, Ralph, and of
course Matty who came up and said howdy.
Cool place indeed, though it took awhile to get back
into jumping like that.

Yeah I saw you guys go through the 3 big tables, nice job. Where did you wreck? Did you get to check out a lot of trails?
"Where did you wreck? Did you get to check out a lot of trails?"
Yup, we checked 'em all. I finally hit that hip jump under the gondola,
(over the rock) really nice, but then two turns later, as you go in
the woods momentarily, there is a small tabletop just before a small berm.
I endoed HARD on that small jump, trying to whoa her down for that berm!
That hip jump tabletop I pulled was FLAT and HIGH....sweetest in years.
I'm in a lot of pain though.
Ted talked me into one more run, and then proceeded to break his thumb
terribly. He gets operated on tomorrow. I may have a hernia......
Gotta love this sport!

Damn that sucks about Ted's thumb! At least it's at the end of the season.

Rode with Wumpus in the dark. Shined my light in some park rats eyes, but they didn't shoot at me luckily. It was right after Wumpus said he didn't like riding there in the dark. It's where peeps go to wash their twennies if you catch my drift. Gonna ride local trails tonight. I think.
Ain't much left but night ridin' nowadays...
"Yeah I saw you guys go through the 3 big tables"
Most of the time I was out of control! I was having a hard time
getting my suspension to feel right, as I turn my bike into an XC machine for weekday rides. My fork was suffering terribly from stiction by the end of the day, and I think
that's how I endoed. Did any of you guys/girls get hurt?

Matty brushed the tree at the top of that ladder-rock-ladder thing right before Alpine and donkeyed his leg a bit. Other than that just the normal scrapes and bruises from DH, nothing serious. Did you find that trail with the 5-6 footer to tranny, followed by a bridge over a rock, followed by a 3 footer to flat? That was a fun one. I think it was called Twist.
I think it was called Twist.
Yup, I did that one. That trail you mentioned where Matt got hurt:
I came in there way fast trying to catch up to Ted, and had NO IDEA there were those two bridges. There was a crowd there at that entrance, and let me tell you
they got an awseome treat, cause somehow, someway, I saved it! I was totally
out of control....you know, when you're just along for the ride?! They need to build some stunts in that last stretch, under the gondola. That little tiny kicker there, just as the asphalt starts, was a squirrely little mutha', huh?

You mean the little kicker where you have to clear a 20 foot ditch? I jumped that a bunch of times the first time I was there, but this time I decided it was too much work for no reason 
For that stunt, I saw some dude boost the first bridge and land on the second one without touching the rock, that was cool. Too bad I had already put the video camera away.

No, where was that? I mean at the bottom near the lift...just a little off the road, and to the right.

I think that mighta been me! (on accident) :>)
