There is definitely come gnarly stuff there, but everything can be avoided or walked around if needed.

 

[o3jeff]

Hey, we are trying to get more people to show up, not scare them away!

Well, if you show up for the ride on Sunday I'll do my best to show you some gnar...

Weathers looking good for Sunday morning compared to the humidity we rode in last week.

How about johnnypoach, he in?

I just hope the trails have a chance to dry out a bit. Otherwise - mud fest!!! which is okay too...

Any news on whether that bike survived the last ride?

I haven't bothered cleaning mine yet from last weekend

Really?! I gave it a thorough bath and relubed the chain. What kind of poser MTBer are you?

Giving the chain and the rest of the drive train some TLC after riding through mud is always a good idea. Washing your bike after every ride is lame though... My bikes wear their mud like a badge of honor, the HT still has mud on the frame from last season (the drive train has been thoroughly cleaned though).

That said, while I actually enjoy riding through the mud and getting dirty it's not very good for the trails, actually it's very bad for them. So hopefully it's dried out.

Sorry. I'm such a gaper.

This should be a fun ride, Greg don't forget the camera

Heh. On the contrary, I will show YOU gnar, friend. You guys might beat my ass on skis but yuo're not coming close on a bike.

Wow. :-o Talking up a pretty big game. This should be interesting...

I didn't say I was going to show anyone how to ride the gnar. My plan is simply to point you to it, and watch the chaos unfold from a distance.

Does this mean that you're definitely coming on Sunday?

 

[bvibert]

Wow. :-o Talking up a pretty big game. This should be interesting...

Agreed!
