Good weekend at Northstar. Very nice weather.

Trails are about the same as last year, with some of them getting cleaned up. Expect braking bumps.
We rode Fri/Sat/Sun and found ourselves going back to our old favorite, Boondocks.

I broke my bike trying to fix it the day we did photos, so I had to hit all this stuff on a squeaky rental.

Here are a few (large) images highlighting some of the more interesting features at the park. Blender: Fox shirt, bneall: other guy
dude. i was so pumped on that Gypsy stepdown, i totally forgot to put my goggles on :lol:

you're spot on about Boondocks.. at the end of the weekend it was once again THE sickest trail

DH/DS in Santa Barbara this weekend. check out ridesb.com

My wife and I are leaving tomorrow in the RV. Should be a fun "local" event.

define "local."
Within like an hour. I'm debating if I want to ride or not. The hand feels better, but still not stellar. My thumb is still black and blue. I think I should be good once the swelling goes down. That's what I get for not riding lately...hopefully a weekend at the star will bring the touch back...

Hey DM,

If you dont mind a couple of out of towners joining you, we would be in for that, dont know the area we would be coming from Newport beach, if you PM me where to meet, we will be there, we have a truck so shuttling would not be a problem....,

Thanks

Stewart.....

Everybody, give Stewart some love. He and his boy Cam are from the frozen North of Canada and they can pin it. I rode with them a few years ago at Laguna/Telonix, and then again in Whistler last year. My weekend looks busted for riding in the Newport area, and my shoulder isn't quite ready for the rough stuff.

If Adam vouches for you, then chances are you're not a mass murderer. :)

I remember riding with you and your son when you guys were down last time. We have some tentative riding plans near you tomorrow. I'll PM ya.

How was it today boys. Sorry I couldn't make it. Work definitely puts a cramp in my style some weekends. I should be free the rest of the month though.

Definitely. Still trying to figure out what I flatted on, I'm assuming I pinched somewhere earlier since I blew out on a flat smooth section.
Matthew's bike was a classic! Nothing better than a pale dude with dreads on a 10 year old bright blue Trek :thumb:
