If I didn't know better, I'd say you read the issue where Lobo got kicked out of hell for screwing things up....Ssshhhh...damn dude I thought we weren't telling Butch about this...
ooooh....now there's a trip that sounds fun. Me, you, Jack and Dave with hours of stories about the "gimp".
There is a seat left in my Yukon....................
PM coming.
I wish I could..........Anyone interested? I'll even promise not to bully anyone around...
We'll see what we can do. Want pics?? :biggrin:Make sure to piss on the lander of the last jump on Lower Dominion for me!!!!
rip it up.
Heck yeah! Pics are ALWAYS GOOD!
I'll have to remember that - leaving this Thursday for four days there:biggrin:Just got back from Diablo. If you've never been there you should definitely go check it out. Well, worth the trip. Dominion to Alpine is too much fun. Once I had it dialed it was hard to convince myself to do other runs.....
I had that same problem!Dominion to Alpine is too much fun. Once I had it dialed it was hard to convince myself to do other runs.....

Hardest part of Dominion to Alpine is getting the energy up to pedal into the first table top up top after your 30th run of the day.Just got back from Diablo. If you've never been there you should definitely go check it out. Well, worth the trip. Dominion to Alpine is too much fun. Once I had it dialed it was hard to convince myself to do other runs.....
That's the damn truth!
Yeah, I can't wait. Leaving tomorrow around noon and the forecast is calling for clear skies with highs in the 70's for the whole weekend!!!!!
Thanks Dave. we are actually already booked at the Days inn - you know my pampered a$$ would rather be at the condo on the mtn, but I'm just glad I'm getting to go. Full report upon my return. I'll try and get some pics, but I think I'll do like jeffkill and probably ride too much to take any.Jon, I rented from this guy: http://www.gtlproperties.com/
He has a one bedroom unit in the Appaplachain. I think it was a queen bed in the bedroom and a pullout couch in the living room. Has a small refrigerator, 2 burner stove and full on dishes and silverware........oh yeah and dishwasher. The back porch faces the slopes. You can actually see the gondola running and riders dropping that deck drop near the bottom. You can't get closer to the trails!
I think the best "value" is to stay at the Days Inn down the street......very close.
Also, to eat go to this place called The George (I think thats what its called). Its a short drive from Appalachain. Good food.......reasonable prices. And definately order their "version" of the chipwich for dessert.
Have fun on you trip.......expecting a full report when you get back! I need to live vicariously through other riders for the time being.......
Cool.
FYI...the pizza and calzone's down at the pizza joint next to the grocery store...awesome stuff.
FYI about those wall rides. It should be noted that going up to the top means planning your exit. Or one could simply go floating off the end 8 feet to flat like I did first time.
Same here.
Heh...you say that now...but have either of you been stuck at Diablo for an entire weekend of rain/mud riding when Dominion to Alpine is closed? :huh: It then becomes Snowshoe with a faster lift.
Probably true, just gotta try and plan around the weather. Im not saying that I dont like snowshoe or wont ever go back. Just not until they decide to run the western lift other than races....
No doubt. I found myself sitting on the lift the first day we got to Diablo and I had done about 3 runs down Alpine. It started to rain and Jeremy said..."they'll shut that down until it dries out". I felt my heart sink...but it dried up quick and didn't rain any more that weekend.
So true. If they would just open the western lift on weekends even.
See...there ya go - way to think positive!!
I know a guy who can get that done for you...you know...if you need it.....
No thanx, Im good.I know a guy who can get that done for you...you know...if you need it.....
