Look at it this way, you guys can get in a practice session at the Kitchen without me. Maybe the next time I ride it with you two, you will be able to hang with me for more than 20 feet.:razz:

Be a man and put those clipless back on the bike and then let's see how you fare through the kitchen... ;)

Austin is a freak of nature! Red didn't belive me that he has only been MTB for about 3 months. He was riding off every drop we could find for him. He seemed to like the change of pace but I am not sure if he liked all the climbing. Nothing is flat at B-street. But he also made the climbs look easy. Once I rest and get some ice on the heel / ankle I will write up a TR.

Well I guess this is what happens when you don't have any sort of schedule and ride 4-5 days a week. I probably have 60+ days mountain biking and 90% were over 2 hour long rides.

Also, I actually really like some of those climbs. I just like to complain while climbing, it keeps me going. :razz: That carriage road climb did suck though, but some of the long singlepath climbs were really sweet.

That climb sucks even more when your front brakes are locked up the entire time.

Looking at the radar I would guess a good half hours worth. My bike is still muddy from last week so I'll be there.

Having fun riding in the rain, boys? ;)

I feel for you... I really do.

Oh yes, yes we did. Lots of new trails, lots of miles. Lots of rain too.The only thing you should feel for us is joy. Sick freakin' 4 hour ride! I'll elaborate more in the TR. I just don't have the energy to type one up right now.

Great ride and I have no energy either. I am eating everything in sight, freaking hungry, then it will be nap time!
