If you don't know what shuttle runs are, you get a truck, everyone packs in, bikes in back, one person drives up, drops everyone off, goes back down to the base and waits for them to return. Then the next person has to drive up, and so on until everyone has taken a turn driving.

There are some decent trails around that are perfect for this sort of thing. I know a couple on Mt Hamilton, there's the Hayward Plunge, and I'm sure you guys know a whole lot more.

I'm back on my bike now (After my broken forearm injury last year, now my arm is made of titanium rods, lol), but I'm taking it pretty easy to get into the groove of things.

Who's down?

 

It sounds fun but I'm slow as ****.

If it's downhill singletrack trails, I might consider...

 

****,if i wasnt seeing tesla this weekend i would def go.hell,i wouldnt mind being shuttle *****.

post up your free rides/DH. i just got a new go pro Hero i cant wait to use.

 

This is my all around bike... Downhill bike is out of commission.


Sorry for the large pic, it's all I could find online. BTW, this is not my exact bike, just the same model and mine is bright green.

 

I have a ****ty 2006 TREK 3900 hardtail with some upgraded componentry.

And I kid you not, it is a "backyard parts special". Just like the Volkswagen Golf Harlequin, it's got a variety of parts.

But here's the bottom line: Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur, Shimano Deore front derailleur, Shimano Alivio dual-control levers, completely worn-out Bontrager Jones ACX tires.


It looks "ghetto" as ****, but it'll get around somehow.

 

Double post

 

Cannondale Judge with all the works. I could drop off my house to flat, and not even notice.

 

Id be in... but im doing livestrong on sunday and i leave monday for france. I'll be back in august if you want to put something together then

 

Tomorrow at Hammy? We only need a few folks to do this. There will be very little pedaling.


We don't even have to go for a long time! Just a couple hours. Come on!

 

Bah since everyone else has DH/freeride bikes I'll just tell you guys to have fun.

It would be nice if someone will record the ride, I'm curious what trails are up in Mt. Hamilton.

 

There are beginner to medium trails on hammy. Nothing crazy, but def fun. Beautiful views and you def don't need a downhill bike, I've used a beach cruiser before.

 

I'd be all over this, but we're moving this weekend.

I'm definitely in for the next round....

 

daaaaaamn I would be all over this, I'm in socal till tomorrow (sat night), let me know if u guys go on sunday....
