Who's Riding Where???

Do what you have to. Before you go under, tell them about your mountain biker friend who woke up in the middle of the gawddam procedure long enough to say What the fuk??!? Might get the anesthesiologists't attention. To good outcomes and 5 years of bliss!

 

They say you can stay awake if you try. No thanks. Just let them do what they gotta do. I just close my eyes and wait for the warm fuzzy feelings, then next thing you know...
Braaaaap! I'm ripping like I just had Taco Bell, without the juice!

 

I can do it for half price and double penetration!

 

Anyone riding tomorrow tues. the 22 where it is cooooooool? And no I do not do dawn patrol!
Actually have an appt tomorrow. No go. Bummer.

 

I suppose I could be persuaded?

 

Prognosis for dirt today looks excellent. A little job this AM kept me from freezing some ass. So I'll be out with the crack-o-nooners.

One last ride on my 140 Pike before the hyperspace thruster is installed.

 

The weez bailed on me and I’ve milked my work this weekend, so I’ve run out of reasons to stay in.

It’s 30 degrees with a howling freaking wind. Sunny at least.

No bad weather...only bad attitudes!!!!!!!?

 

Dos Vientos for Jennifer and I. It's been a couple of years. Should be able to put something together.

 

Gonna take the beast out to LCWP tomorrow (Saturday Nov. 2). Gotta try it on the switchbacks of Camarillo and Stagecoach to see how the long 29er manages tight spaces and to see if I can muscle it up the three short steep climbs on Stagecoach. Join me, or wish me luck.

Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night. Goodbye evening light.

 

Irish Hills in SLO tomorrow morning.

 

I hear the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway finally connected at Floriston. If she goes I’ll hit a side lap on (trail name).


@herzalot, YMMV, but I found wheel size, even wheelbase and bike size, matters less in tight turns than would be expected. From Bronson to Czar I felt about same. From Czar to Smash I surpassed what I was doing on either bike. I think it’s more about geo and carrying momentum. The weez is grooving on 29er after a mere few rides...noted the nice rollover and feels more confident in any chunky terrain, including switchbacks. My guess is you will quickly adapt to the wheel size (read: entire bike), and in tight turns you’ll feel more in your bike rather than on top and crush everything you ever could and more.

 

Rossage attempting to make a rare appearance at Golden Eagle.
Saturday, 11/2 at 8am. Later if necessary.

Get some!

 

Wow, Canada bound!

 

I’ll be get’n sum...

 

Fun ride for a hardtail... Just sayin

 

Darn it all! Wish I could make it

 

Fun ride for a Hightower too... I ride the hardtail all week and the tires are bald and the chain needs lubed and I’m sure there’s some other stuff I can’t think of right now.

 

Bald tires increase the pucker factor.

 

I guess I could just send Ross down first and use him for traction when I pull the little levers and nothing happens.

 

Wish I would have seen this sooner, kinda early anyway.

 

You can come out later and get sloppy seconds.

 

Ha ha, what about 9:30?

 

Sara’s goin’ hikin’

 

That's my bedtime! Ha!
We're rolling at 8:30am cereal boy...

 

Don’t forget your passport Ross or the Mounties will get you.

 

I need my beauty sleep. Have a good ride gents!

 

I wish
Enjoy!

 

Cheese from home. I'll roll over the hill and meet up with Jennifer at the parking lot. We'll ride up the canyon and hit Sulphur and Gas Pipe then roll down Las Virgenes and climb Pump Hill back into the park.

 

I'm riding somewhere this morning. Who's with me?

 

Unfortunately, not I.
