Screw it, I'm just gonna do this one and get it over with:

:lol:

Seriously, 11 miles sounds pretty good to me. I'm going to study the maps and come up with a good ride...

I am up for it, just as long as we hit the ridge and those sweet sweet DH sections.

So....what's the problem with the ride I suggested above. :-?

Seriously, that basically hits all the good stuff that we know of with limited doubletrack (read: hardly any). We could do the sessions area first and then do the north loop.

 

[bvibert]

I dunno, just being stoopid I guess. I'll ride wherever everyone else wants to... :dunce:

 

[Greg]

Okay, Bri - I'm making an executive decision to lead this ride. Scoville twistie warm-up -> Sessions/B Street -> back to Scoville. Then cemetery twisties to the north loop and back parallel west of 69. Cool?

 

[bvibert]

Sounds good to me, I just wanna ride. Still 7:30 meet up?

Greg, I like the new avatar. The only problem is that I can't tell the difference between your legs and the frame of the bike, similar thickness. ;-)

:lol: Well, you've officially missed your opportunity to MTB with us. Cuz if you try to pick it up now, these chicken legs will smoke those ridiculous stumps of legs you got.

7:30, tomorrow, Lamson corner.

in all honesty, im sure your legs have become stronger with all the mtn biking you have been doing. if we thought you were the energizer bunny on the slopes last season, we are all screwed this season.

which reminds me, i need to get back in the weight room with the hs lax team.

im still eying a trip out with you guys. my tires look nowhere near gnarly enough to provide much traction. we are getting the property/house cleaned up for a shindig for the little guys first. i have been in honey-do hell for the past few weekends.

btw - i thought the obvious come-back i would hear from you would be "nice new avatar. the kayak looks a little big for such a little guy like you."

 

[bvibert]

If you weren't so damn short I'd let you ride my old bike. By really old bike from when I was a pre-teen might fight you, but I gave that away already...

 

[Greg]

Indeed. I feel like I'm in the best shape I've been in for years and I'm only 2 months into what I expect to be a 6 month riding season (until mid-November). I can't wait to see how all this summer activity translates on the slopes.

Nah. I'l leave the kids out of it. Don't need to stoop that low especially since all I have to say is that I can now smoke you on an MTB as well as skis. :razz:

Seriously though, your boy is getting big! Not an infant anymore, that's for sure.

By the way, the loop I'm thinking of tomorrow will look a lot like this (minus the doubling up in the session area). Should be a 10+ miler, 90%+ rad singletrack; Nass-style twisties, climbs, rock gardens, gnarley descents, and some flowy singletrack with small hits. Be prepared to ride hard and fast tomorrow people!!! Bring extra water and energy bars.

I am wondering if we should plan the lopp so we can pass the parking area roughly mid ride. That way we could all bring extra water and re-stock mid trip. Just a thought

We will be, but not quite mid-ride - more like after 4 miles and after the easier section.

That works for me. Are we meeting at the same place I met you last time?

Randi and I just got from a ride at the W. Hartford res. We meet up with another couple on the trails and they showed us a bunch of new stuff I have never done before. We also found a route around all that briar patch at the start of the ride.

Is Randi coming tomorrow?

Yes. 7:30 am.

So does this mean that you will only have a mild hangover this time?

I want to see pics of these gnarly decents and rock gardens. Actually I would prefer videos are you guys wrecking in them.

I don't anticipate any sort of hangover at all. Haven't even had my first beer yet. There's still time though... :razz:

Somebody else is going to have to do the media. Plus we might not even have time for photo opps. I want to bang out the 10 miles in 3 hours.

 

[bvibert]

I already have my camera on my pack. I'll take some pics given the chance.
