did baldy two weeks ago. what a rush. that place is wild and untamed.
Baldy is lame. Totally flat, hardpacked, mellow turns with no rocks. Yup, nothing to see there. :thumb:

High of 40 degrees today at the top of the mountain. F that. Wish we could get a couple more weekends out of it this season, but they're open early in the spring.

i've been back in the saddle for a bit now. the shoulder injury threw me off schedule for a bit. i did another road ride though; the grrrlie is a bad influence. to be fair, i did take her in the dirt road... on the dirt road; she did her first ever mountain bike ride on Sunday with Jason and I (and a few other non-RM kids) out at Chesebro. at 5'3", she was a bit small on my hard tail (18" Inbred with 28" bars), but that didn't stop her from picking some sweet rock garden lines and boosting a few roots. once i get her on a good sized bike, she is going to be an unholy terror on the trails.

Holy wow, something besides a single crown?? Let me know if you want some help with the PAR mod. Or just drop by with beer and I'll get that fork all butta-butta.

Nice find Ben. Hope to see you on the trails soon. Let me know if you want to get rid of those pesky brakes, cranks and drivetrain. I'm sure I can find a person who wants em. :)

I just hit Sully last weekend. Went up to the Hub then Eagle Rock and back. Woot!

I'd be down to do that again soon. I'm planning a ride Saturday, but don't have the specifics nailed down.

Fell on my dome and broke my neck. Supposed to be a veg on a vent right now.
Glad to hear you're ok Adam. The whole Socal krew was quite concerned with your well being.

And to let you know, you have helped Leatt increase their revenue a couple of margins. I say you call and demand royalties.
