hrstrat57 and 3 barking bears (and 2 little barking bears for a few runs too)
A little late arriving today, first ride up about 0805....one warmup run on challenger then to the top for about 3 runs on 10th( Smith was closed for racing) In a word fantastic high speed cruising to be had, just nice.
3 runs on Conifer, nice...third time down a bit of "styrofoam" appeared in the center of trail after the first bend, but nothing my razor sharp RX 8's couldn't handle. Ranger on duty was yelling at me as I went by first run down.
Back to minuteman to finish the 1/2 day, Hitchcock(my favorite at wa) was butter some nice bumps and jumps set up, sweet!! Took a couple cool down runs on the vickery bowl triple to escape the building crowds below.....half of vickory bowl was closed for wmrt training. One run down Ralph's just to check it out, huge traffic jam most of the way down, which is what Ralph's is about on w/e...that's ok, folks gotta start somewhere. Ralph's is the place to do your drills.....
There is snow everywhere, wa should be all set for a long season (finally)
Out at about 1130 as wait approached 20 minutes.
I like wa.
A lot....but it ain't worth a 20 minute wait...
Collected the $5 rebate for 1/2 day and out.
Nice day......
The coconut jelly stick at Honey Dew on 146 S was nice on the way home too!!!
Half pipe was being cut as we left....should be on line for next week.....
