I just postponed my weekend shutdown project so I'm good for Saturday. Weather looks promising as well.

We can go do Quarry for some variety if you like.

For whatever reason, I don't like quarry. Maybe I need to re-ride it now that I'm in a bit better shape, but when we used to ride it I wasn't digging it

Probably because it was boring and too easy. It's just an out and back with no technical challenges. What was it - like 6 or 7 miles total?

Yeah I think about that, it definitely wasn't long. One of the things I like about GB is the variety. There's a good amount of climbing (GPS shows +/-2k feet for last week), fun singletrack, fun technical stuff, typically there attractive woman out year round, etc.

You know looking at the TBF race maps, it seems like there might be a section of trail we are missing that we could also check out. It's the area directly connecting between 2 and 4 in this map. It would shorten the ride some, so if we did that we could redo 2-3-4 and that might make for some fun.

I'd say lets try Olmstead again but not until May or so, especially given the latest weather. Could you imagine it out there right now ?

I rode that section by accident when I missed the hard left turn after the hill. Then I rode back from the point looking for you.

Randy, I think Eddy, and I did a ride similar to that.

We did stagecoach to mossy rock, culvert (UP that steep *** hill over the bridge), connector, FDLT, connector, culvert, mossy rock and back up stagecoach.

Yeah - 25.93 miles, 4000 ft climbed. It was brutal - the sun killed us on the way back up stagecoach at the end. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/2588972

ohhhh yeah...that sucked ***! I remember once I got to the top only Randy was waiting for me...and I was hurt.

That was the most I'd ever done in one day and it was way too much climbing at the end of the day...
