We took off at around 8:45 and were done by 11:30 with a lot of little breaks and detours.

We stopped pretty much every time the trail split, and did a rock-paper-scissors to see which way to go. Turned out okay.

Thanks for the directions, Mike.

We'll probably skip next weekend, but we are going to try to do an every Sunday kinda thing if anyone wants to go on a REALLY slow ride.
I really like the trails in GB. I really liked riding from the point to the parking lot and out to the water and back. Was the most fun for me. Looping around the top of that hill was a blast. Of course, all the hot wimmenz out there were nice too.

Well yeah.

- A lot of the hot womens are girls on bikinis on the beach. They don't get over their hangovers till like noon or so.
- The other chicks are hot mtber chicks. Not sure why they weren't out yet. I only ever rode GB in the evenings after work though.

It looks like your first MTB ride back needs to be a GB scenic ride. I volunteer to ride with you.

I've mentioned this before....
Is anyone interested in camping at next years Sea Otter Classic in Montery (April 17-20)? I was thinking of reserving a XL camp site for the 4 day event. Reservations start 11-10 and the cost for the camp site I am thinking of getting goes for $95 a night....this has water and electricity on site. (I'm looking at getting a site at the can-am circle "C") If I get enough folks interested in joining us camping I will go ahead and get the camp site reserved......so let me know asap.

Here's the link to their web page:

Ryball, I just picked up a sweet '98 Giant Tomac 990 ATX FS that's got your name on it

Nothing says performance like yellow and purple and 2.5" of rear travel

On the plus side, the SS is done, the Specialized is done, and the Prophet is getting there. Now I just have to keep working up my endurance, it's painful how out of shape I am.......heh.

That's odd. It's part of MTBR so you wouldn't think they would block that.

They do keyword filtering on URLs and I think "gallery" is a black listed word

edit: I'm at home now. Link delivers.

It's done. Add Specialized Eskar tires to the list. If anyone doesn't know, Specialized has a 100% guarantee on their tires. If you are not satisfied FOR ANY REASON you can take them back and exchange them.

I took back a pair of S-Works Fast Track LK's because they wouldn't seal with Stan's. They were leaking out the sidewalls. No more S-Works tires for me.

I got the Eskar Controls and they sealed up no issues. They are HUGE 2.3" wide.

Can't wait to take the bike out for a test ride.

You are an evil man. I need to stop for a while. I can't really justify any of this stuff until I am back in better shape.

My next bike will likely be a bionicon...
