    Yowzaa - that's a big deal! You've been a fan of his for a while, and he is World Champion y'know! Congrats. :thumbsup: Post all about it in the Celebrity Sightings thread after your experience.

    I'm hopeful...but not sure yet. Some things have to shake out for me to make this. If I can make it I will; if I'm not there at the appointed hour don't wait. :)

    I'll do this sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

    The winds will suck. Period. But the rest of it is great.

    It was windy last time, and it didn't seem to be a problem. You are in the trees enough, you don't notice it.

    Really only on the initial 5 mile climb, and a little bit coming back up near the top of WOD.

    I think that's the short version...Faust was noting about 45 miles and 6,800 feet. I don't know which is planned.

    I'm working on joining in on this ride. Not gonna take my Enduro if you guys are talking extended stuff. Just gotta re-tape the rear wheel on my Epic to get rid of a slow leak that the Stans won't seal. I suspect that I accidentally folded the rim tape during the last tire change. :bang:

    I only mentioned the 42/6700 because that's what Berni did solo the day I was out there with Mikie.

    I'm game for anything. I won't be riding tomorrow, as I'll be sitting in the bleachers for a double header all day. o_O

    I was just kidding when I asked for the stats, sorry.
    J, just go ahead and do your planned long ride tomorrow, hopefully that will equal things out a bit for sunday.

    No you won't. You will have a back ache, butt ache, forget your socks, helmet or bike... or the car. :Roflmao

    You think you're up for a 45 miler?

    I'm just going to hang in there and do whatever the posse wants to do. I'm just going to call them stretch goals....:whistling:

    Yes, that was at Ross. Thanks anyway Mikie, my butt is fine and no I'm not up for 45 miles. But I have my gear ready, so unless I actually forget the car I should be okay for my next ride.

    Bad/folded tape vs GOOD tape. Actually the blue tape was about two years old. Held up pretty good. Yellow tape is Stan's brand tape.

    Uhhhhh. Thanks... Luis? Because it's a requirement to have good tape wrap on your rims for Golden Eagle?
    (Sorry, but just had to... Wrong thread?)

    Good rim tape might not be a requirement but this home made salsa for the after party is. You guys better man up and eat it I spent over an hour in the kitchen makin it.
