Bueller?

 

6+ hours is not going to fly on Sunday.

What about sticking to our plan with Olmstead and riding this HITG trail next weekend?

 

That sounds cool with me. I'd like more time to plan the logistics of getting us all up there, doing the ride, etc.

 

Sounds good! Book it!

 

When we ride Sunday, lets plan on getting all that stuff figured out. I have a small cooler now (and a beer opener on my keychain) so I'll bring some up and we can have a post-ride beer and schedule next weeks fun

 

Done!

Wow. I just looked at HITG trail with satellite. It looks like it's going to be really rocky.

 

I think you're right: http://ogrehut.com/trails.php/LakeTahoe/HITG

I like his option of not ending the ride with a climb.

 

So we still meeting in Cool on Sunday?

I will be heading up to Tahoe tomorrow with wife and friends for a day trip......anything you guys want me to scope out for our eventual trip/ride there?

I concur we should plan a weekend trip for tahoe, say a two nighter (go up friday evening, ride saterday morning/day, and come back down Sunday).

 

Oh, man. That looks like fun, and I like his trail too. Don't crash, dudes

 

8am.

 

Yeah, start at Soda Springs and climb up. Then DH on the way home

 

I need directions.

 

HWY49 down to the bridge before Clementine. Right over the bridge and up HWY49 to Cool. First right turn before you hit the stoplight. You'll see a right turn lane/ turnout just in front of the fire station.

Park behind the Fire Station.

Or be at my house by 7:15AM and we'll ride together.

 

Thanks Bro! Due to having a 20mm thru front axle I'll meet you at the Fire Station parking area @ 8:am

 

I'm looking forward to getting out and riding tomorrow. I was going to do a short road ride this morning but my back tire was way low when I got the bike off the rack. I think the valve stem was bent and it was leaking. Anyway, I put in a new tube that I picked up at Performance last week, inflate and notice some oddness around the valve stem. I can't fix it so I pull the tube out and inflate it - it was defective, the damn thing had these crazy bulges all around the valve stem (on the opposite side of the tube), so I put in an extra Specialized tube I had in the garage, but by then I was pissed and didnt' feel like riding. Instead, I cleaned the drivetrain of the bike (the chain and the cassette were black), cleaned the frame with a light degreaser and water (tons of road oil and stuff all over the place), relubed. I really wanted to ride when I started out too, damn flats
