Where will Josh (TotalHeckler), YOU and I ride on Saturday?

[Prettym1k3]

We just haven't figured it out yet.

:lighten: I need ideas. :lighten:

[bdamschen]

Pump track hidden somewhere in Monterey for me this weekend! Just got done with a rather impressive berm and little kicker last weekend and I'm stoked to try it out.

[gonefirefightin]

lets do pacifica

[Prettym1k3]

lets do pacifica

Normally I'd be down, but Josh only has his 140mm Snyper, and he's only got one ride on it. I was thinking more of a Trail/AM ride.

Plus, Boyscout is going to be an absolutely mess right now with the storms.

HEY JOSH:

or an all day shuttle sesh at carlmont

HOLY SHEEEEEEAT!!!!!!

You are alive!!!!!!

[Total Heckler]

Let me give you a little update on my iPhone to that list:

-Can customize ringtones with your own mp3s:
Yes. Hacked iPhones you can.

-Can send MMS messages:
Yes, there is a MMS app that works. Also email works just fine.

- Instant messaging:
Yep, I have an app on there right now that works awesome.

-Can record voice:
Yep, also a app for that.

Anyways, I am game to ride wherever. I have never been to carlmont. I have heard its good during the winter too.

[Prettym1k3]

Anyways, I am game to ride wherever. I have never been to carlmont. I have heard its good during the winter too.

Haha... I was just giving you "S" since Emily was making fun of you for being attached at the dong to that iPhone. They are bad*ss, and I approve. If Verizon offered them, I'd be SUPER down.

On a side note, Carlmont is about 30 minutes from my place in Santa Clara. I'd be down to ride there, but I'd definitely be bringing the big bike and leaving the green bike at home. I was kinda' itching for a fast and flowy trail ride though. Just still not too sure where I want to go.

Our options are Demo, UC, Gap, Pacifica, DMC, Skeggs, Briones, Side-O, and a bunch of other places. But I seem to keep coming up with good and valid reasons to not go to each of these places... except UC.

I think I could be down for a double-looper at UC.

[Total Heckler]

I would be game for that. Possibly even shuttled if we could find people willing to do so.

So UC then?

[Prettym1k3]

Let's plan for UC.

I don't care if it's cold. Can we meet at the bottom of Rincon at 9:30?

I'll bring the green bike. Then we're on the same plain.

[Total Heckler]

Sounds good to me. Be prepared to wait for me at the top. Because I suck at bikes.

At least I don't suck as much as this poor guy...
http://hypernation.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/new-image.jpg

[bdamschen]

I think trees might still be down all over the place @ UC?

[Total Heckler]

Last ride I did Wednesday before the storm on Friday the trails were perfect. Did a lot of trees get taken down?

[Prettym1k3]

I'm prepared to move large branches and jump over the larger trees that will need a chain saw. That doesn't bother me all too much.

And yes... if you're Chew Kok, your life sucks more than just about anything else.

Hahahaha the site wont let me give you more rep. :beerjam: :rofl:

[bdamschen]

I haven't seen for myself, just heard that there's supposed to be quite a few trees down. I doubt it makes the trails impassable, I'd just keep an eye out on first runs down :D

[Prettym1k3]

We should make this a night ride... that'll be balls-out scary! :clapping:















J/k. I'm stupid, but not THAT stupid.

[GiantRider]

Im in for a little ride sat, I too will be dying on the up hills, but what better way to get back in shape !

[Total Heckler]

Exactly. Awesome! See you out there!

Brian, come out to ride on Saturday. Do the pump track on Sunday! Come on... You get to size up your competition for the next cccx series. =P

[Prettym1k3]

Haha...

I haven't climbed UP a hill on a bike in quite some time. I did make it all the way up Santa Teresa but I took a few breaks while waiting for a friends.

But the climb up Rincon is a cake-walk on a light-travel, light-weight bike.

Just remember, Josh. Your new like is most than 10lbs. lighter, with better angles, and less travel.

You should rip up this climb in no time flat.

[Total Heckler]

Dude I went up it on my first ride last week. Trust me, I still suck.

Come on Brian...you know you want to ride with us...

[Prettym1k3]

Come on BRIAN! Let's rock and roll.

Here's my impression of an evening, at Big Bri's house:

"Oh, son?"

"Yeah dad?"

"How'd you like to go FISHING this weekend?"

"Great dad! But I've got homework to do."

"That's okay, son! You can bring it on the boat!"

Name that movie, and you win a cookie.

--------------------

On a side note, since we'll be out there making two loops, I think it would be prudent of us to make it clear that stopping to clear a trail of logs, branches, debris, etc. will be part of the ride. I'd like to clean up the trail so that when it dries out, the trail will TRULY dry out.

You all okay with that?

[Total Heckler]

I'm alright with that. My buddy Tyler was thinking of joining us. He does not ride up. If he comes we will be able to shuttle. He isnt an early morning person, so we might be able to do 1 run up/down then shuttle 1-3 more. =]

[Total Heckler]

Name that movie, and you win a cookie.


The Breakfast Club.

[Prettym1k3]

The Breakfast Club.

Chip-chip-Cherio!

I can't give you any more rep. So I'll donate 10 credit to you. HAHA...

P.S. Is Tyler's last name "Durden"? And does he sell soap? :twitch:

[bdamschen]

Heh, I haven't done much climbing in a while either, or going down for that matter. I'm fairly certain what little "sweet air" skills I had have left me. If you're hellbent on riding up, cool. If not, I can fit 5 comfortably in my truck :D

What time is everyone going on sat? Where would everybody meet and who do I need to PM my cell to? Josh- does your uber iphone web browser email sender picture and sound recorder still have my cell phone number? Maybe I can get in some butt-crack of dawn pump track and then ride.. hmmmm....

[Prettym1k3]

Brian,

I thought you might have PM'd me your number before, but PM me your number again, and I'll save it.

I'll send you mine.

I have Josh's number on speed dial because... nevermind.

:busted:

[bdamschen]

Brian,

PM sent, but if I get heavy breathing calls in the middle of the night, you're in a lot of trouble. :twitch:

[Total Heckler]

Pm sent Brian.

And I am posting this from my phone. Take that.

I think we should shuttle using your truck by the way.

Also, Mike. I got my new rims tonight. Super sweet.

[gonefirefightin]

wtf, why so far away?

[bdamschen]

wtf, why so far away?

http://www.smh.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1019441506290_2004/02/16/8einstein.jpg

It's all relative. :D


Just mounted up some 2.35 LUST Highrollers, they look narrow. We'll see how quick I can de-tire my rims

[Total Heckler]

wtf, why so far away?

You still looking for a goose neck trailer? There is one for sale in Felton. I dont think it has a price on it. Its across the street from Monti's Log Cabin on 9.

[Prettym1k3]

I'll be rollin' my 2.3 Weifwolfs tomorrow on my green bike. I finally got around to facing the BB shell last night, so hopefully my stupid el-cheapo RaceFace XC cranks will stay on the bike from now on.

Josh, how's the car handle now with the new rim-jobbies?

Heavy breathing calls are something you'll find I'm very good at. You'll see.

:)

[Total Heckler]

New rims are sweeet.

[bdamschen]

OOoh, purty. What size/how much they weigh? They look light, but you can never tell anymore.


My reading comprehension skills are almost as bad as my big air skills- what time is everyone meeting on sat morning?

[Total Heckler]

They are 19x8.5's. They are about as light as my old 17x7.5 wheels. I don't know how much they weighed.

Were meeting at 9:30am. I think we should shuttle.

Brian what bike are you bringing? Are we going to have a short travel madness ride?

[Prettym1k3]

If we're shuttling, then I want to bring out the big-daddy. Although, maybe not. Depends on what trails we're going to do.

To be honest, my green bike pedals so much better, maybe I'll just bring that bike anyway and we'll just have to avoid dead campers. I'm sure Josh doesn't want to do anything like DC on his Snyper anyway.

I have my truck too, so if we wanted to shuttle, I suppose that'll be cool.

I VOTE FOR SHORT TRAVEL SATURDAY MADNESS!

[bdamschen]

Hahah, well seeing as how the big one only has a 40 tooth front ring and road cassette, I will also bring my short travel saturday maddness bike- just in case I have to ride up anything. As far as trails, I'm down for whatever, DC included. No road gapping for me tho :)

[Total Heckler]

I think we will be good with some:

-Sweetness
-Maybe hit up super sweet / z's
-Evans trail (heard its sick right now)
-Airborne
-Peabody/Sidewinder
-Etc.

I'm ok with maybe skipping DC, Twister, etc. since I am not too confident with my riding abilities just yet. Well see how the day goes.

Awesome. SHORT TRAVEL SATURDAY MADNESS is on!

[Prettym1k3]

Short Travel Saturday Madness is gonna' be awesome.

I don't think I've ever ridden Twister before, but DC is out of the question for me. The angles on my MkIII are just all bad for that trial. Plus, I'm terrible at picking lines on that trail on my big bike as it is. I won't be any better on my MkIII.

9:30 at Rincon.

Are we gonna' shuttle like crazy? Or what?

[bdamschen]

It is in fact possible... How many are giong? Kelly, my girlfriend is probably in, I'm in, and you guys. We going to have any more than 5?

I'm down for whatever.

[GiantRider]

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.

[GiantRider]

Oh man your bringin your lady, then maybe mine will go too!So that would bring it up to like 6?

[Prettym1k3]

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.

-Mike

[Total Heckler]

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?

[Prettym1k3]

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?!?!?!?!"

:busted:

[bdamschen]

So wait... you're going to poop on the stick first? Or is your first poke into josh just going to be a doozie?

[GiantRider]

That sounds like a great plan Mike!Just enough of the pedal pedal to get us warmed up.

[Prettym1k3]

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.

:clapping::clapping::clapping: for me!

:D

[Total Heckler]

Oh jeez.

Man, I might cry. Mike, I am also going to email you/jeehhhhhhhn job descriptions for people we are looking for here.

[Prettym1k3]

So wait... you're going to poop on the stick first? Or is your first poke into josh just going to be a doozie?

Depends on how big the hammer Josh drops is.

If it's a rock hammer, circa' Shawshank Redemption..., :plthumbsdown:,

But if it's a American Gladiator's sized hammer, then I'll go easy. :monkey:

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. :-)

[Total Heckler]

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.

[bdamschen]

Oh man your bringin your lady, then maybe mine will go too!So that would bring it up to like 6?


Yeah, for sure bring your girl! Kelly would be stoked to have another girl along!

[Prettym1k3]

I should call my buddy John and see if he and his wifey Elizabeth want to ride.

Yes, I shall.

[GiantRider]

Yea call em up, this will be a big ol group ride.

[Prettym1k3]

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...

[Prettym1k3]

I'm out for the day, guys and dolls.

See you tomorrow morning you goobers.

[GiantRider]

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!

[Total Heckler]

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.

[bdamschen]

Kelly and I had an awesome time yesterday, we really enjoyed riding with everyone and I got do learn some new trails.

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!

[Prettym1k3]

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!

-Mike

[Total Heckler]

I might be up for that on Saturday. As for tomorrow, I don't know if I can make it.

Also, Mike, PM sent.

[Prettym1k3]

You SHOULD make it out tomorrow, mang.

It'll get you in shape for CCCX.

Total trail ride tomorrow evening.

[bdamschen]

Aw, still no batteries for our lights, so we're out of the night ride.

Saturday is a maybe- Got to go to a friends baby shower up in the bay area, but we'll be bringing our bikes. What time are you guys going to ride pacifica?

[Prettym1k3]

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.

[Total Heckler]

Are you up for a night ride next week? I could probably make it then.

As for Saturday, I am in.

I also just talked to my photographer friend Sean, he might be coming to town not this weekend but the next...

[Prettym1k3]

Awesome.

Pacifica is ON.

I'll be on my big daddy monster bike. 7" of travel FTW.

[Total Heckler]

Awesome.

Pacifica is ON.

I'll be on my big daddy monster bike. 7" of travel FTW.

I will tear it up to the best of my 5" of travel bikes abilities.

[Prettym1k3]

Pacifica = all about the head-tube angle. If you've got a slack headtube, you're money. And you do.

So, no worries there.

[Total Heckler]

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.

[Prettym1k3]

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.

[bdamschen]

Next time we ride UCSC, we're doing two full loops.


....but I was kinda tired after the first one... :twitch:

Prolly didn't help that I didn't bring an xc helmet tho

[GiantRider]

Im in for Pacifica!Never been before but I have heard good things about the place.So two loops next time huh Mike,well as soon as my legs stop being sore from saturdays ride im there,haha.

[Prettym1k3]

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.

[Total Heckler]

Haha... You guys crack me up.

I am there. Anyone know how to get there? =]

[Jensen]

Prettym1k3, this is scott who was out there with grant last time you were up, I was on the enduro SL. I've got my DH bike fixed up and its ready to roll, so i'd like to join yall on saturday. Lemmie know what time you all are planning on hitting higgin's and i will me ya there.

[bdamschen]

Heh, I'm down to try and squeeze in a run before my buddy's birthday. I gotta check with Kelly to see if she's down to wake up at the butt-crack of dawn to get up there. 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 :D

What bike should I bring? My big one's got lots of travel, but super short cranks, a 40 tooth front ring and a road cassette.... Climbing=Impossible

[Jensen]

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=higgins+road+pacifica,ca&ie=UTF8&z=17&om=1



thats where we meet. you will want the big bike. i run a 38t and 12-23 road cassette on my bike, and its easy getting to the top of crack, mile and BS. just gotta work. if you have a seatpost its even eaiser (wish i had one)

[Prettym1k3]

Rock on, Scott.

I plan to be out there at about 9:45am. Is that cool with you guys?

[Total Heckler]

Sure, I will try to be there as close as I can to that.

[Prettym1k3]

Saturday, Josh!

Your PM to me said Sunday, and if you show up at 9:45am on Sunday... well... I'll be working, and preparing myself for the awesomeness that is, CLOVERFIELD!

[Total Heckler]

Yes, sorry. Man, work sucks today.

[Prettym1k3]

Haha... I feel your pain, man. I'm finally headed out the door in a few minutes here.

[Total Heckler]

Same here. Just super busy with server migration crap and also porting a bunch of stuff so it works on there too. Blah. Just staring at lots and lots of code all day.

[bdamschen]

Bastigeses! I'm not outta here til 5:30. Yuck.

I may bring the big bike. Is there anything wrong with having a 5" bike out there? It was kinda fun last saturday...

[GiantRider]

Ill proly just bring my Enduro in lieu of the DH beast, so me and Josh will just chill on the little bikes.Hey Josh you want to ride out there together?

[Total Heckler]

That could work. I can just plan on picking you up on my way through sc.

Brian, bring the small bike. We should be ok. =]

[Jensen]

9:45 sounds good to me on saturday. It will be my brother and I, as Grant works saturday. Will be in a brown chevy, and ill be on a RAW colored sinister r9. You guys should be fine on smaller bikes, i rode crack mile and BS with no probs on my enduro sl a few weeks ago b/c i destroyed the BB on my dh bike, makes you really work with a 6 inch bike:clapping:

[Prettym1k3]

Awesome man.

This guy I met out there last month named Steve Wentz (rides for Turner) will be taggin' along. He managed a freeride park in Colorado. Just moved out here. Great guy. Total trail builder too. And he's fast.

This is his bike and him talking about it:

http://www.littermag.com/techno/07dhr/1.htm

Here's a video of him. http://bncproductions.net/mountainbikingsteveW.html

Super nice guy, great rider, and a definite friend of the trails.

[bdamschen]

Heh, there's a pretty good chance I won't be able to keep up w/ Steve...

Kelly and I will probably only get a few runs in before we have to take off, but we're totally going. I'll bring the little bike if my new chain shows up before then.


*edit* is it just me or is Wentz not wearing gloves in his video??

[Prettym1k3]

tell him I say hi

Why don't you come out and ride with us and tell him yourself?

Bring that sexy IH steed? Or are you going the way of FSR for a big-bike too? J/k. :busted:

I'll tell him you said what's up.

[Prettym1k3]

I'm pretty sure he isn't wearing gloves... I noticed that.

You guys will have an absolute blast. Personally, I'd bring the big bikes. The entire ride is paved road and no more than 30 minutes to the top. Then it's a 15 minute hike-a-bike. Again, not too bad. But coming down on a big bike is super fun. But if you're plenty comfortable on your short-travel bike, then you guys can keep the short-travel madness Saturday alive and kickin' this coming Saturday!

[Total Heckler]

S.S.T.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111oneoneone

Anyone up for an earlier night ride Wednesday or Thursday next week at UC? Maybe start at 6pm-7pm?

[GiantRider]

Whooaa, someone has been coding to much or something!Im up for a little nite ride if Im not totally beat.Hey were you planning on taking the 1 up to Pacifica or goin around ,like 17 to 280,if your doin 17 I can just meet u at your place at 8ish,Im not sure which way is faster since I have never been there before.Maybe Mike can chime in here.

[Prettym1k3]

Well, personally, from your guys' places, I would take 17 to the 1, and then jam down Highway 1 in the morning. But on your way home, the 1 gets clogged up with Half Moon Bay people puttin' down the freeway. So on the way home, take 280 to 17.

From Scott's Valley you should be able to make it to Pacific in about an hour down the 1. On your way home taking 280 to 17, should take you about an hour and 15, give or take a few.

Josh, I think you mean: "S.S.T.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111oneoneoneJUAN"

:)

[Prettym1k3]

Did you want to meet at the Taco Bell a few minutes after 9:30? Or do you remember how to get to the place where everyone parks?

[Total Heckler]

So 1 up in the morning and then 280 to 17 back? That works for me.

Todd, where should we meet in SC?

Mike you game for the earlier night ride next week?

What about Taco Hell around 9:45ish? I'm a little slow in the mornings. =]

[Prettym1k3]

I'm down for Wednesday, I think. Getting back at a reasonable hour would be ideal, too.

I'm night riding downtown San Jose on Tuesday night for a few hours. Wednesday should be totally open as far as night riding goes. I'm down for some UC action.

BTW, Josh... at night... we ride to the top... TWICE.

*insert evil laugh here*

[bdamschen]

mmmmm... taco bell.

I might be calling you guys when I get lost :D

[GiantRider]

Anywhere works me Josh, I live right off Hwy 1 just off the morrisey exit.9.45 ish sounds good to me as well, Im not the biggest morning guy myself.But I will be bringing a few of my silver and yummy friends (RedBull)with us in case we need a little wake up call!

[Total Heckler]

Sounds like a good idea. I could use that haha.

PM me your address and I will just plan on picking you up.

[Prettym1k3]

Tomorrow is going to be wretchedly awesome.

[GiantRider]

Dude, totally,i haz been thinking about this all week!

[Total Heckler]

I got up really early this morning to wash my bike (I haven't had time to since the last ride). Nice and clean. Ready to get dirty again. =]

Cant wait. We might be there at the Taco Bell closer to 10. You guys better wait.

[Prettym1k3]

You want us to wait at the Taco Bell? txt me. I'm walking out the door as I type.

[Jensen]

and mike, if you can bring that chain guide that would be great. thanks

[bdamschen]

Stoked to go ride. I'm guessing we're meeting at the taco bell right off of 1 right? We're heading out of here around 8.

[Total Heckler]

Yeah that's where I am going. =]

Heading out in a few min. Just want to fill my camel back up.

Today is going to be sick!

[ZHendo]

i saw all you guys today, i was in the group of 3 on one of the sx trails, i had the travis. it was certainly a good day in pacifica, crack was prime, it was my first time riding it today and i was stoked. i think the guy taking pictures might have gotten a couple good shots of me on the step-down jump line on boyscout, does anyone know if he's going to post em?

[GiantRider]

Cool man, I was the guy on the blue Enduro, and yea he will be posting pics in a few days.That was my first time there as well and it was siiicckk!

[ZHendo]

awesome. yeah, i remember you bro. it wasn't my first time there, it was just my first time riding crack, i'm usually too lazy to go that far up. i love that place though, i'm so stoked that they're putting all the new stuff in on boyscout.

[Surfkahakai]

Good time today guys. Thanks again. I'll be home Monday but work 4 days after that so it might be a week until I put the photos up. I'll try to sneak away tomorrow for an hour to do the editing...maybe Ill have them up sooner.

[Total Heckler]

Thanks to everyone who made it out. It was my first time riding out there not in the mud and on my new bike. I really had a good time. I want to be warmed up for crack next time though. The 2nd boyscout run was awesome.

Dude, thanks a bunch for coming out and taking photos. You were a champ to come out there with all of the camera gear and for barging everything on the hard tail. Major props man. I think you should reallly sneakin some extra time today to get those photos up. =]

[bdamschen]

We had so much fun, Kelly can't stop talking about how she wants to go back out there again. The drive from Monterey was def worth it.

[Prettym1k3]

Officer Ben... you're the man! Thanks again! I'm super stoked for those pics, dude. I'm positive that they came out super good.

Brent... did you get any video? I need evidence of that drop on The Crack that claimed "The Crack" in my helmet the last time I was out there!

Thanks again everyone!

Props to the trail builders out there, too. You guys do an amazing job, and if you hit me up with a message next time you're out there builing, I'd love to come and help.

To those who don't know, I was the guy on the red 7point with the Totem. My name's Mike.

Yea man, good to ride wit cha.Next time your in S.C. we will ride for sure !Im Todd by thw way, I was on the blue Enduro.

[Total Heckler]

Looks like next weekends photo shoot may be a no go.

So weird since I checked the weather on saturday and it said this week would be sunny and clear. Now its supposed to rain every day this week.

I might be game to ride and shoot in some mud, but a no go if there will be rain.

[Prettym1k3]

Boyscout is NO FUN in the rain, man. It gets super sloppy.

But the Crack is AWESOME after a short rain because it clears out the trail really well.

[Total Heckler]

Ah, I was thinking UC for photos next weekend. Possibly, maybe.

[Prettym1k3]

Ahhhh... I'd be down for that. I'd have to bring my big bike though... Arrrgg...

[Total Heckler]

Awww how come? =]

But yeah, depending on if it is going to be raining this weekend or not. I hope it stops raining so we can get out there.

[Prettym1k3]

Just because when there's pictures being taken I get all nervous. And I don't jump good on my green bike. It's too light and twitchy.

No worries though... the climb to the top will kill me. Then I'll be tired all day. Haha...

Come to the dark side :busted:

[Prettym1k3]

Haha... Brian. One of these days, you guys should leave the bottom of Highway 9 and Rincon the same time I do, and we'll see how much longer it takes me to get to the top of the grotto.

I'm always up for a challenge. :)

[Total Heckler]

You guys are crazy.

Shuttling is awesome. Riding up is good for you? lol

Anyways, tomorrow nights ride is on. Brian, you and Kelly better be picking up your batteries tonight. =]

[bdamschen]

Unfortunately we're out for this week. One of these weeks tho!

[Total Heckler]

Yeah, the night ride is now canceled because of the stupid weather. Soon.

[bdamschen]

lol

The hills at Demo looked COVERED this morning on my way to work...

When I was going over around 5:30 or so, the ground was lightly covered. This morning when I went by on the summit there was a bunch on everything around the road.
