I can leave Fri, and would have to come back Sun evening.
Need to be back to work on Monday, though I can be a bit late if we get back in late Sunday.

I'm getting jacked at work so I may have to leave on Fri nite the 22nd and either come home Sun eve or If I can pull it off perhaps ride half day Monday.

What can you do?

Blender/w4s,

I think the Fri come back late Sun is going to have to be it. I too have to be back for Monday work...but could be a bit late. Looking like you 2, E- Santos and myself. More than likely in my Suburban. We'd have to stick 2 bikes in the back as I only have a 2 postion rack.

Lets nail this down by early next week.

yup, the bike missed the plane transfer and then i got put on "bed rest" by the doc orders for a Canadian Black Fly bite in the arm (through my armour) out of concern for possible infection, which caused me to miss the heli-drop on Rainbow Mountain. yeah, that was a good trip :(

i've got about a 50/50 ratio of hospital trips per Whistler trip -
2002 - broken fork = broken face and dislocated shoulder
2003 - Joyride steep + tree = compression fracture of T3 vertebrae
2004 - Just scrapes and bruises = No Hospital!!!
2005 - lost bikes on the plane for me at OTE, then Black Fly bite resulting in massive swelling and risk of infection
2006 - Didn't go, stayed healthy (though, that may have been the summer after I dislocated my shoulder her in SoCal)
2007 - No issues
2008 - This year = anyone's guess. Place your bets kids.
Those odds don't look too good. How about giving me your plane ticket instead. :biggrin:

I'm thinking about riding Fri and Sat then driving home afterwards or waiting till Sunday morning.

Any of you SoCal peeps selling dh rigs? If so, send me a PM please. I got a buddy looking for a bike that's race worthy and I'd rather purchase from SoCalifornians. Thanks!

excellent!!

did you come out unscathed this trip?
no trips to the hospital kids!!! :cheers:
odd, considering the monday drunk-run down dirt merchant and then down garbonzo. the lifts shut down mid-day monday due to rain and lightning, so Zark's krew and some of ours grabbed some beerz and burgers at the Longhorn. we paid the tab and the rain stopped, so we took to the wet and muddy with a few-beer buzz flying. wahooo!!!

You guys all suck. I finally got my shock back from Push. Ready to ride again, plus have just been too busy with other crap.

I'll also be up at Mammoth this weekend but won't be doing much riding. Lakes are going to be stocked on Friday so most of my time will be spent fishing.

haha, any you homo's touch my bike and i'll kill you...:biggrin:
hah... well at least it looks like your "flared dogbone link" problem is no longer a .. problem.

now you'll enjoy a permanently flexy rear end because of too closely spaced dw links.

sad.. very sad :nopity:
