Where will Josh (TotalHeckler), YOU and I ride on Saturday?
- Thread starter Prettym1k3
- Start date
Ok so 9:30 at the rincon parking lot ,with the little bikes and pedal up through pogonip, or r we goin to shuttle!I cough , cough, wheeze, would like to ride up a little or so I say now, haha.I dont even know where my big bike is ,proly covered under and inch of dust ,haha.Ok see ya all there.
Oh man your bringin your lady, then maybe mine will go too!So that would bring it up to like 6?
I have a bench seat in my Tundra, so technically I can fit six people in my truck (including myself).
I would like to ride to the top at least once and get my <3 pumping for a few minutes.
After that, we can shuttle at least once or twice if you'd like.
I gotta' be back over the hill on the Silicon Valley side by 2:00pm. That gives us 3 and a 1/2 hours of riding. Plenty of time for 1 full loop and then two shuttles.

Hmm...
Well I think my buddy Tyler may be showing up a little later. So maybe start off doing 1 loop up/down. Then shuttle however many times we want to afterwards?

That works for me.
Josh... I'm gonna' ride behind you and make you hammer up Rincon trail all the way to the top.
And if you don't drop the Hammer, I'm going to poke you with a stick with doodoo on the end of it, repeatedly. You'll go home and your other half will be like... "So, you went riding. Why do you smell like doodoo? Is that HUMAN feces?!?!?!?!"

So wait... you're going to poop on the stick first? Or is your first poke into josh just going to be a doozie?
That sounds like a great plan Mike!Just enough of the pedal pedal to get us warmed up.
I'm going to agree with you, and myself...
I've always thought I had awesome ideas, but now this is confirmed.
for me!
Oh jeez.
Man, I might cry. Mike, I am also going to email you/jeehhhhhhhn job descriptions for people we are looking for here.

Depends on how big the hammer Josh drops is.
If it's a rock hammer, circa' Shawshank Redemption...,
lthumbsdown:,But if it's a American Gladiator's sized hammer, then I'll go easy.
First loop up to the top hurts. The second loop is actually easier because you're warm. I almost always stop and take at least one break on the short ride to the top the first time. The second time, no stops. Just pound it out.
Three loops? Never tried it. But I'd imagine that if I can do two on my 45lb. 7" travel, 36t/11-32 bike, that I should be able to plow through three loops on my 32lb. 5" travel 34/11-34 bike.
Of course, I'm not interested in finding out tomorrow morning.
lol it might be new American Gladiator status.
Also, email sent. Let me know ASAP so we can hopefully get her hooked up!
EDIT - Mike whats your email address, what I had didnt work.

Yeah, for sure bring your girl! Kelly would be stoked to have another girl along!
I should call my buddy John and see if he and his wifey Elizabeth want to ride.
Yes, I shall.
Yes, I shall.
Yea call em up, this will be a big ol group ride.
Txt message sent.
If John shows up, he'll randomly be in the parking lot at 9:30. I won't here back from him until then. Haha...

Freakin great ride today!It was nice to finally meet up with you Mike, and everyone else too.I checked my comupter when I got home and it had just over 12 miles from start to finish, so we put it some good miles plus the nice jump sesh at the start.Alright we will have to do this again for sure!
Agreed. Today was freaking awesome. The trails were pretty great, the jump session was fun, and it was good to see everyone out there. Also a score on nobody getting hurt. =]
Plus i started a new fad, going over the bars uphill. Yeah. I do that now.
Also good that we did our part of trail work by getting that pretty big tree off the trail.
Hope I wasnt too slow for you guys today, still working on getting back into the groove.

Oh yeah- and thanks everyone for helping me get over my fear of tubeless tires. My little bike is fun again!
Good meeting everyone too, we need to do more Short Travel Madness days!

I'm always down for a Short Travel Madness Saturday!
Although, to be honest, you all should come out and do a Short Travel Madness Night Ride (at a certain local place that shall remain nameless... but I'll be riding there tomorrow (Tuesday) night). We'll be leaving San Jose at about 9:00pm, and getting to the parking area around 9:30 or so. The entire loop should only take about 2 and a 1/2 hours. If you want in, let me know.
Anyway, it was great meeting you guys (and gals). Todd, Kelly, Brian... FINALLY nice to meet you. All of you had me sliding around some of those berms that normally scare the doodoo out of me. Glad I had you there to push my limits.
Maybe this coming Saturday, if you're down for some DH craziness, we could hit up Pacifica.
Any takers? It's supposed to be dry out there all week!

We usually try to get out there at 10:00am. We stay until 1:30 or 2:00pm, depending.
My buddy Sean has a handle-bar light you can borrow if you want (just one, though).
Let me know if you want in, Brian.

I will tear it up to the best of my 5" of travel bikes abilities.
Pacifica = all about the head-tube angle. If you've got a slack headtube, you're money. And you do.
So, no worries there.

I dont know what that means, but I will take your word for it.
I ride bikes down hills and sometimes up them too. Thats about all I know.

Hahahahaha...
You mean you drive bikes up hills, and you ALWAYS ride down them.
Next time we ride UCSC, we're doing two full loops.
I'm gonna' whoop you into shape if my life depends on it.
Plus, you need to do a full blown Demo/Braille loop with us. That's easy-cheesy.

Haha... You guys crack me up.
Let's hit up Pacifica this Saturday. Todd and Josh... you both in? Brian and Kelly? Will you two be able to make it out for a session?
We'll ride past Boyscout, and to the top of Mile. Then cut over and hike-a-bike up to the top of The Crack. Then we'll take a breather and then bomb down all three trails.
Yippee-kay-yay-mother-__cker.

If anyone wants to pm me a google map link of directions to the meeting spot, that'd be cool. SoCal kids get lost in the bay area easy
