Just west of and across the street from Porcupine.

So you guys can wait a bit on me while I walk up puke hill, right?

**JTrue** · 06-21-2007, 02:07 PM

I slept in too late as well today and missed beaterd's call, anyone want to go for a ride later today maybe around 6 sometime?

**beaterdit** · 06-21-2007, 02:11 PM

Just cuz you got reinforcements doesn't mean you shouldn't send the 'superloop' anyway. That's what we did yesterday, it was $$$.

Anyways, wish I could go but I'm out for the next 2-3 days for work.

Sorry you missed us Shmoe, rode with Springsproject and John today. Saw a beat-up single in the back of the car and inquired.
Springsproject: "That's John's, he's retarded."
Didn't notice till later that Springsproject himself has no granny gear, 1X9. Dudes R hard.
Did two laps on the 'downhill' trails in Glenwild, then up, over and around for a total of 15 miles. Nice. Mellow. Legs feel 'a bit' tired.

edit: True you slacker.

Wait...so are you saying drop down into Millcreek and ride all the way down to Big Water, climb back up to the ridge and then down Mill D? Jebus, that's a lot of climbing.

Giddyup.

JoshP and I probably couldn't get started until a little later, so what time you guys thinking?

Yup, that.

Doesn't much matter to me. I have some other work to get done, and plan to be a little hungover. Within those constraints I'm flexible.

What it means fo rme is dropping down to millcreek, riding down to bigwater and walking back up to the ridge *LOL*

**JTrue** · 06-21-2007, 04:04 PM

I would be down to ride on Sunday as well since I have the day off from work.

**JTrue** · 06-22-2007, 08:27 AM

If anyone wants to ride Bobsled this morning at 9:30, I am taking the short loop from Terrace Hills and might make a few laps depending on how hot it is.

**beaterdit** · 06-24-2007, 04:26 PM

BUMP!
Who's riding the next three days?
I've got the next threee days off and want to do some big rides. Unfortunately, my car's going to BobMC's shop in the AM, so I'll be limited in my mobility for a coupla days.

Also, I'll be riding in the Bobsled vicinity this evening around sixish if anyone wants to join.

**johngchrist** · 06-24-2007, 05:17 PM

I Might be around if my climbing plans fail.

**shmoesmith** · 06-24-2007, 05:55 PM

well, I wish i could have made it today. I did deer valley yesterday and like a fool, I forgot my sunscreen...to make me an even bigger fool, I thought I would be fine.....blisters today. ontop of a blistered face and legs, I ended up bruising my leg and shoulder pretty bad on a digger in theives forest..put some bad gouges in my stanchion too

Guess i will be trying to take off the sharp burrs and hope that it only leaks a little oil and doesn't blow out the seals any time soon

How did the crest ride turn out?

**beaterdit** · 06-24-2007, 10:01 PM

I didn't make the weekend one, JTrue and I rode the big loop thursday though and it was sweet.

Who's riding tomorrow?

jongchrist, I'll give you a call tomorrow.

**JTrue** · 06-24-2007, 11:01 PM

I will probably be riding tomorrow, nothing too long as I have work and want to go to Reggae night.

**maniloff** · 06-24-2007, 11:23 PM

We had fun. Everything's in pretty sweet shape, but was super crowded. I guess that's when you get when it's a bluebird weekend and 212 degrees in the valley.

Two-thirds of the way down Mill D, there's a 30 foot climb with a rock in the middle. I remember it as being off-camber, not just an up-and-over. Am I misremembering, or did somebody sanitize the trail?

Yup, someone must have "fixed" it

I am planning a Mill D/Guardsman/Crest/Big water/Mill D tomorrow (6/26) if anyone is interested.
Edit: after work about 4pm

I'll probably be into that if I don't have to work.

**springsproject** · 06-25-2007, 08:11 PM

I think I will be riding somewhere in PC area tomorrow in the am.

**spider** · 06-26-2007, 07:43 AM

Maybe I am calling it the wrong name? After the crest, making a left at the T to Dog lake then down Mill D, whatever that is called.

I can start later, but would need to ride a shorter loop or shuttle.

Yeah I noticed that too...weaksauce. I was like, either I rode that better than I ever have, or it got sanitized. I also swear the spine is dumbed down even more this year.

Great ride with powho Sunday on Crest/MillD, I think we finished the ride in an hour. After riding DH at DV all day, the Crest felt like a big sidewalk

well, aside from Puke Hill anyway.

**maniloff** · 06-26-2007, 03:57 PM

I'm taking my newly built hardtail out for her first ride around 5:30 tonight. So, if anybody wants to ride something buff and wait on me to tweak stuff (sounds really appealing, doesn't it?), it just could be on.

**beaterdit** · 06-29-2007, 09:36 PM

Anyone want to ride tomorrow or sunday?
I'd like to put in some big milage but am pretty flexible.
I can haul three peeps with bikes.

I posted in the Maggette thread already...

Lynx and I are riding the Crest tomorrow. Mill D @ 5pm, DTM will be running it while we ride. (that time could change, I'll post if it does)

**beaterdit** · 06-29-2007, 11:27 PM

Thanks for mentioning it, I forgot to check there.

I'm trying to get out in the AM sometime though...

I've got a date-like thing that I need to be back for.

One of these days I'll get out you ladies.

Sunday?
