SUMMER SUMMIT 07', OFFICIAL THREAD

[flowtron]

Yarg. I think I have sales meeting that weekend. Lame.
I wanna ride the pass trails sooo badly.

[rideit]

Cool, Schmoe, I'll sick you on Uncle Crud.

You two can sleep in the garage.

[Big Blue]

I'm in. Up for sufferfest fo'sho'. I'll bring a bunch of Utah beer...oh wait, nevermind.

[rideit]

OK, I have a few Ideas for the sufferfest.
Do we want five fun hours, or seven where tensions might run high?
Do we want multiple laps on the Pass, (three different downhills, three similar uphills)
I vote for five fun hours, doing:
Warmup-Mahogony Creek-Relay Ridge-North Fork Canyon Creek-South Fork Canyon Creek-Elk Flats-South Fork Horshoe..(bailout point here for those who require it) then following up with the Horseshoe loops (we hopefully will have ridden them once earlier, so people know what to expect), with ChooChoo (new), Bovine, southbound, Sod-Buster, Cody's loop, probation, burgh, Sharks-belly, and Channel Lock finish.

This should be honestly 5-6 hours, with good godly gobs of climbing and descending pure singletrack. You will finish both hating and adoring the big holes, and this ride will haunt you. It would be the finest of what we have in terms of EPIC cc.

One or two people may cry.

One or two may sell all of their posessions to move here.

It could be anyone, really.

Sound good?

Do the obvious thing and tell them to reschedule it, duh.

When the tensions run high is when the fun really gets going. I have been on epic 12 hour ski sufferfests, but only one or two bike sufferfests. But like I said, I like to suffer--and cry.

You can take photos of my suffering and crying. it will be rad.

There should be a poll.

[deepsquat]

There should be a poll.

Having met some of the Driggs Crue, I expect at least one will be offered.

Yeah, and on top of that, we would be more that happy to shove string cheese up your butt.

Really.

If you doubt it, just ask.

We have some tricks.

[RootSkier]

If I didn't have a wedding that weekend I would cry harder than Rontele.

[Rontele]

Wedding? That is worse than flowtron's sales meeting excuse.

And serially, what does it take to get a goddam sticky?!!

[Tye 1on]

Weekend of the 11th is the bluegrass festival, don't forget that little bonus! Sam Bush, David Grisman, Seldom Scene, Kane's River, etc etc. http://www.grandtarghee.com/summer/m...grass-fest.php

Any ECers heading out?

Im still unsure of my current ability level (as several mentioned in the previous thread) seeing as though this damn job keeps me in front of the idiot box all day and night.

Im a 40%.

I think we are doing this for a whole week.
Maybe Tuesday-Friday for those who couldn't make it over the weekend?

So, freeride Jerseys and stickers, or beer mugs?

Ability level won't matter. I suck and I cry. We can suck and cry together.

Rideit, I like the idear of jerseys, but beer mugs facilitate the consumption of beer.

I'll see what I can find out...one of my riding bro's is the brewmaster at Snake River Brewing, I bet we could get a deal on glasses with their logo, along with something that we can design on the other side.

Any graphic designers on the forum?

Rontele, I get the feeling youre a masochist. I also have the feeling you dont suck. Shewt, I havent done an epic ride in... say 10 years? Back in corrrege we did a loop around Blue Marsh in Pennsyltucky--34 FUCKING miles of mostly jeep roads. BenWA loved it for some fucked up reason. I, on the other hand, have never done an epic ride since.

Do most of you guys know eachother? I dont wanna crash a bro's party.

Trust me, I really do suck. I have never met rideit, nor do I care to. I just want to use him for his property and his knowledge of the trails in the area.

You wouldn't be crashing the party at all. The mroe the merrier.

[Squatch]

jerseys sound cool. Beer mugs are also cool, although I do most of my beer consumption out of cans.

Very wise. We only want you here to wear the strap on mouth-plug. We should get along famously. Bring your own choice of lube, it is going to be your party!

Wellll, I WAS enjoying a piece of string cheese, unwinding after work, sipping a beer...catching up on this thread....and now this. Thanks.




Really, I am eating string cheese, I grew up in WI, I can do this.
