You can borrow my stuff if you want, since my DH practice is Friday from noon to 3pm or the like so I'll be done with it, but warning: it'll be sweaty! :eek:

You can really do the Super-D in just regular XC gear, a lot of XC riders (aka ex-roadies) race Super-D on their XC bikes in XC helmets. The offer's still there if you want it. :)

I'm out for riding Friday night - I'll have just practiced DH for hours and I feel SUPER worked after that, and want to save energy for the race Saturday.

Man, this racing shit just gets in the way of some good fun with the girls (and occasional guys, grin). Plus my XC bike is sorta dismantled at the moment, but will be ready to roll by the time I'm done with July racing, (which will be after next weekend - Go-Ride DH - and I'll be back in the game with you chicas!

IG I'll be up there I have elbow pads and a 661 assault suit you could use. They're also for sale if you like them!

And the Quarry trail with Lynx, skiguide and Skiingbear was great fun tonight. Thank you all.

pfft.... you don't need no stinkin' pads - I just saw you ride the sickter ladder on the big Q trail last night without 'em!

i however, was glad i had them on when i rode it:)

Good luck to all those racing this weekend! We'll be up there on Sunday to spectate. I have to go to a bridal shower on Saturday :rolleyes: , so we'll probably miss seeing most of you guys.

---

Hm, I have some tentative plans on Friday night, but might be able to re-arrange them to make this ride. If not, I might be up for a crest ride sometime during the day on Friday (of course, after I finish writing a paper :rolleyes: )

DOH! I 'paused' on the top of that ladder last night, but pulled it off. Really, I think it's all about speed when approaching it.

Did you venture off the trail last night?

If anyone wants to ride the Crest tomorrow and meet at 6pm, post here or PM me so I don't leave without you. I will most likely ride it while Dantheman runs it.

w00t.

Not the pipe ladder (which i did the same thing as you on -and agreed-need more speed) - but the sketch one off trail that has that funky angle to it and the steep rock /rolldown exit.

It has more to do with other generous offers than your sweat, but I think I've got it covered.

May I please. PM sent.


OK, I've got that nervous "I'm going racing" energy thing going on with the "OMG, I'm going racing! What the hell was I thinking!" thing going on.

Tradygirl, sucks we'll miss you Saturday, but hey, the Pros and Semi-pros go Sunday so it's more fun to watch, just the silver lining for you.

IG, you ROCK! Good luck, maybe we'll see you at practice tomorrow, and maybe we'll be there to cheer you in the Super-D.

I can't ride the Crest tonight, have to go to PC to celebrate my step dad's b-day.

If any of you are riding the Crest after today, let me know!!

The hubby and I are up for a Crest ride tonight. We can be at Mill D by 6pm and shuttle to Guardsman.

Who else is in?

we are thinking about it, but kinda on the fence, would be nice to not be out that late just once.. and may get some more work done w/ painting/trim instead, so we can go up to PC this weekend w/o guilt.

Totally understandable.....let me know as it gets closer.

I'm thinking of heading up and doing a Quarry lap sometime this morning/early afternoon...of course, after I write this paper. grrr.....

Oh, the Quarry is nice right now. I rode it last night, finished up when I stopped raining, felt so good to ride in the rain!

Josh and I are heading up for the Crest tonight for sure. We'll be at Mill D around 6:00.

Any takers for the full meal-deal Guardsman-to-Millcreek Crest tomorrow morning? I'm thinking no later than 8AM (I have a bridal shower at 11:00).

Surprised I didn't see you, I sat in my car waiting for the rain to stop, and trying to decide if I really wanted to ride. The sun came out so I rode. I really didn't want to ride wet wood and rocks, but by the time I got to the top most stuff was dry :) Quarry is a good trail for rain days.

Yeah, I saw you sitting in your car when I was leaving. My car looks just like your car actually.

I am riding the crest tomorrow while Dan runs...anyone want to ride? I'll do it solo if not.

J and I would be up for a crest ride in the morning....we'd probably want to start early (around 10 or so) so we can catch the afternoon Norba stuff.

We rode it last night with JoshP and Tradygirl and had a great time....nice to finally meet ya, Josh, and good call on the fish tacos afterwards. :)

Yeah, Friday night was super fun. I learned a ton chasing James down Mill D. That was defintely the fastest I have ever rode that section. Good times, and great to meet you guys, we'll have to do it again soon.

This morning (Sunday) didn't go quite as well. Broke a spoke at the top of puke hill and had to limp back to the car:nonono2: . Fun riding with you for a few minutes Altachic, next time hopefully I can make the full loop :D

Had an awesome ride with your lady Josh, she really is super fun to ride with, good pace uphill that pushes me and I LOVED it!

I will clean puke hill this year, maybe not this week, but by the fall. I was so close yesterday!

I'd like to do another Crest ride at some point this week. Possibly Wed, Thurs or Friday.

Once again I'm out for the week, a local race this weekend so practice will be done Fri/Sat/Sun, tonight and Thurs at the bike shop, Tues have skeleton push-track, and since I'm so sore and tight from all this racing / falling / overdoing it stuff I'm going to yoga on Wed.

I suck.

In better news, no races after this until the first week of August, so I'll have two weeks to ride with the chicas.....forgiven yet? ;) Crest next week for me?

I'll probably be out of the loop again for a while too. I'm heading to Tahoe on Wednesday with my bike for my best friend's wedding, so I won't be able to ride much this week. There is a small chance of getting out on Tuesday night if I can get all of my stuff packed tonight. I'll have the bike in the car tomorrow just in case....

AC - great ride on Sunday morning! We'll BOTH get puke hill next time. :yourock:

I'm sorta playing it by ear this week, but will defnintely be up for riding. I'd like to get on crest a couple times. I should be able to ride Wed/Th then we're staying at DV for the weekend.

we're just gonna do a quick quarry ride tonite-

maybe try to get on crest wed/friday? TBD.

Thursday night we'll be down at the Galvin center for the free Martin Sexton show.

HoLLaH! Back in town and down to ride tues/wed/thurs/fri/sat/sun/etc :D

although gallivan on thursday sounds fun too

Lynx...Crest on Wed after work? We can go from there around 4:30-5ish. Dan will be running it as well.

Werd.

yep, pretty much. Lots of chain saw work :mad: Then they scattered it in the trail randomly. Take it slow, I got caught off guard, It could have been ugly. I cleaned some of it. Now I know how the skateboarders feel. We need a bigger yard, but still I hate how the government feels the need to save us from ourselves. As if that campground and the massive walking traffic wasn't already damaging the environment.

Don't know if I will make Wed, work is nuts right now, but all I want to do is bike. Keep me posted on the purple cows ;)

GRR.... That totally blows!! I'm pissed.. (and now slightly glad we didnt end up riding up there tonite, I would have been angrier to discover it!)

If anyone wants to join...Wednesday Crest to Mill D, meet at Mill D @6pm.

I'm also going to ride the Crest toMill D (no go on bikes for saturday, even day) on Saturday morning, want to start riding at 7:30am while it's still cool.

Ok, so Re and I are meeting some folks from work at Guardsmans @6 instead, as they are coming from Park City.

Will that work? If not, just call my cell and we'll figure something out. We'll meet at the turn in the road and we'll be leaving a car at Mill D.

6pm up at the top seems pretty tight for those just getting off work at 5ish...I'm not sure if Bear can do that... even if I grab all of his bike shit & bike for him..

I mentioned it to skimonkey last night too - he may be in/come up from the PC side too..

K - we're in for sure, and will try to make it up to guardman as close to 6pm as possbile - may be a little later, but should be able to make it up by 6:15 (i hope) -is that cool?

Thanks to all for an awesome and fun Crest ride last night, all 10 of you!

I'll put up some pics later, maybe in a different thread so this can just stay as a coordinating thread.

We'll be there again Saturday morning, 7:30am.

The big question is: Did you clean it?

I'm pretty confident that if my chain had not have fallen off twice, it would have been slayed.

I think Particle has a good pic of me on the last stretch, my legs were on fire!
