Sat 0/2 - Meatheads and Mountain Bikes

[mondeo]

Anyone up for the Meatheads premiere then MTB (or vice-versa, as long as Skidmarks doesn't mind a bunch of sweaty guys around?) Thinking WH isn't too far from Berlin, don't know what else is around there.

Paul should chime in on this because some of the trails they ride around Middletown aren't too far from Suburban. Or you could join Steve-O at Meriden Mountain. WH isn't far as the crow flies, but it's a little convoluted getting there. Best route is probably Route 9 up to Farmington and then over.

It's actually pretty quick to get to the Rez from Suburban Sports, 15 / 20 minutes max.

I can ride Sunday afternoon but not Saturday. Too much going on to get out.

This mornings news said they closed the res yesterday to the public due to flooding and will reopen when the water goes down.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might want to go somewhere more rain-tolerant today. Like Case.

So, that plan's off. But might still stop by, I need a new boot buckle anyways.

Any trip reports on the event?

You're good luck! Didn't you win a hat or something last year, plus a t-shirt?

got a hat, which you claimed for me since we'd left already.

if i had good luck i'd have won the skis. some guy spent $60 (or something like that) on tix. he won numberous shirts + hats. he also got a pair of ski pants and a helmet but not the skis.

Are they the XXL and extra long t-shits like all the kids in the park wear?

they were both black and XL - 1 dalbello which i liked but suddenly found Jake wearing and 1 scott, which was HUGE, more wide than long tho.

both too hip for me to wear, i'll stick with my Ski Tote shirt.

Did anyone watch the movie? How was it?

Thanks for posting the link! We didn't make it to the rail jam that weekend, but we did go check out Suburban Sports yesterday. Husband commented, "think I found my new ski shop" after finding some very agreeable prices on equipment he's been researching. Never even knew the place was there until I saw the link. Thanks again!
