highland trip: sunday august 8th

[frankm938]

Sounds like I got the green light. Probably won't be there too early so I'll hang around the bottom of the lift for a bit when I get there. What should I look for as far as bikes/clothes/etc.?

I'll be wearing a cheap white 661 helmet (full face) and sitting on a black 575. Saving the $100 worked pretty well for me last time :roll:.

Anyone DH clipless?

ill keep an eye out for you. ill be in a yellow shirt and blue helmet riding a black demo 8

Can your check book handle it?

Don't let Mike get any air or he might crash into a tree and be out a shit load of money......wish I could embed that Millers Pond video from my iPhone.

I only knocked the seat out of position at Whistler.

When I'm actually able to get some flow going, not waiting for others to stop playing with their logs, I am somewhat competent.

I should be there Sunday noonish. Silver Giant Faith w/blue wheels. I'll probably be on Hellion/Happy hour all day. If people want to ride any XC the NEMBA trails at Franklin Falls is not far away. Only about 10 min. or so. Lots of tight, twisty, non-technical trails that are quite smooth.

So how did it go MR. e?

It didn't. About an hour into the drive I got a call from the Highland bike shop letting me know the lift was still down but should be up by 10/11, noon at the very latest. We then decided to take our time and took some back roads. Arrived around 10:30 to find out the lift would b down all day.

Did some other touristy type stuff in the area, had lunch and drove home.

That stinks. It was raining pretty good in the afternoon, so you might not have missed much. The two of you should head back on Sunday.
