Did two runs on that last week (shuttle) and crashed both times down toward the bottom of the run next to the cliff section. Still getting use to the new bike I guess...needless to say it's officially broken in!

Heh, yeah my bike got broken in, actually on the descent to the tunnel. I bent the rails on my seat . Gotta buy a new one before the next ride.

And cheap! The seat that came on my bike is WTB and only like $40 but when I went to replace it at REI they only had this nasty black and silver abortion in the model I wanted. F that

You guys down for starting at 8:30ish? I have some friends from the cycling club I belong to coming up from my area and they are starting around this time. They're doing 2 loops at Clementine starting at the top I think. I'm gonna ride with them. It's an easy to moderate pace.

Let me know...
Going to Salmon Falls instead. On the trail by 10:AM tomorrow if anyone wants to join.

I'm going to try that Hole in the Ground trail, but on Sunday. Saturday I'm headed to SF.

Ended up ridding Salmon Falls last Satruday and had a great time. New bike feels great. Climbs like a MF. I pinch flatted twice though...think it was due to low tire pressure...I hope...either that or just bad luck. We did it as a 12 to 13 mile loop.

If anyone wants to go to HITG on Sunday morning let me know.
