You are draining a swimming hole :)

We spent all day yesterday shuttling seymour with a bazillion other riders who most likely thought nobody else would be out in the rain :) Conditions were amazing for the first half of the day, but they went to hell quickly for the 2nd half.

I was there 3 weeks ago and that place is beat down, like the prom queen after a gang bang. Frome isn't much better.

Did alot of stuff around the house that I've been putting off lately because I've been riding so much. Now I can ride guilt-free!

That pool drainage reminds me of the early days @ SST! :D

WTA Grand Ridge work
We went in off Issaquah Fall City road. The days work brought us about 10 feet short of the end of the existing trail. 15 folks showed up including 2 middle school age kids; they were great, give them something to destroy and they were all over it. Dead camera battery means no photos. It was realy warm and the rain held off until I got home. Please don’t ride the new trail until it’s had a chance to compact.

Rippin' top to bottom 'Nash/Adrenalin/Felsen runs at Alpy. Demoing different skis to see which ones I want to add to the winter quiver.

Oly, I'm finally adding a bigger bike to the summer quiver with a used Stab.

I did that back in Dec and I think I over heated the transfer case and engine on the Comanche... not the best thinking on my part either!... eventually I will need a ARB bumper/warn winch before I try that again!...

Raining in Port Orchard, reluctantly got in the van to go ride at Lake Sawyer, pleasantly surprised that it was clear over there. We rode a couple hours and no rain! This was 10:00 - noon. Lucky us. Encountered rain all the way back home...

Went to the Cask Beer Fest....All you can drink for 4 hours = 30 bucks. Then went on a pub crawl round Sea-town for the next 8 hours. O....m....g.....Oddly enough, I was actually a functioning member of society on Sunday...

Isn't 38 where they rock climb too? Is it downhill single track? I need a place to test my M1 I put together before next months race in Cali.

GZ - it was cold and rainy.

We hit up a Japanese restaurant for teppenyaki - all you can eat for 168rmb.

Then hit the Hill Bar to listen to the Filipino ladies sing and then Cave for some dancing. Fun times.

Oh, the japanese restaurant was all you can drink too - you should've seen the amount of sake bottles we had at the end of it. We started drinking with the Korean's at our table and then the French chick and here friends at the other table. Way too much.

The Cave is cool - just gotta wade through the hookers outside the doors waiting to pounce on drunk westerners.
