I don't comment on this forum but I like to watch...

I was throwing this around but it looks like I am going to work a little in the morning on NYD.

That, and the shock on my Easter Egg is in dire need of a rebuild.

So, ENJOY!

 

Padding for practicing their headstands? @mountaingirl sara will back on the mtb soon and they want to be ready.

 

Wow, that looks fun! Go get it, riderz – wind be damned.

 

Awe man...this looks like fun!!!

 

Love U2 Mikie, but I’d rather hear the bike, dirt and jabbering

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
This was pre music banishment.

You get to hear some of the banter in the background.

 

All this Da Blah Blah, and no takers???

 

Working today and partying tonight. Still a slight chance I might make it.

 

Sorry, have a more local ride going.

Have fun you guys.

 

I got the flu! Have fun.

 

Punk kids...

 

Hope you feel better soon!

 

Fine. I admit it. I will be there

If you only do one ride in 2019, make it this one. That way, you've met your goals and you won't be disappointed the whole year.
This ride will have it all: ups and downs, chunk and flow, drops and switchbacks, lefts and rights!
It will be cold, windy, and glorious!

Nothing changes,
On New Year's Day...

Oh yeah, I'll bring you the mattress @Mikie

 

Finally! A Man’s, Man!
Uh, less the mattress...

 

Too damn cold up there. Still fighting the sinus thing! This suxs. going on 3 weeks.

 

Solid 98% chance I’ll be there. Broken spoke and all

 

I’d love to go, but I ain’t gonna.

Thanks @SnakeCharmer and mountaingirl, I can’t seem to catch a break from heath issues this year. I really hope next year is better!

This little McNugget likes ketchup and said I don’t get to.
