I just checked - they actually pushed the ride to next week. Yay for sleeping in tomorrow :wiggle:

 

New bottom bracket ftl. The old one was toast. It felt like it was turning through sand and rocks. It's only been in the rain a handful of times. Hopefully this Shimano BB lasts a little bit longer. Now all I need is a Reba Race 29er fork and I'm set.

 

What BB/Crank did you have prior? So far I'm loving my LX bb/crank :wiggle:

You see that tomorrows ride is cancelled? I'm still going to Aarons later in the day if you are down for some grub.

 

Whatever no name brand that came stock with the bike. Hell, the bike only cost me $369 so I can't complain too much. I'm looking at some bling cranks but I'll wait because I can't justify a crankset that costs as much as the bike. But then again, the fork I want costs 5 bills.
I saw that the ride was cancelled tomorrow. I'll be down for some grub tomorrow.

 

We ridding tomorrow??? Gonna be pretty fricking wet and muddy! Maybe we should go snowboarding/skiing 2 to 3 feet of fresh snow!

Well let me know the route and meeting spot if we're ridding.

 

I thought we were riding your loop at 10am tomorrow

 

Just confirming due to weather

 

It's cool. I was actually just out riding in the thick mud behind my house (construction site). It's like Olmstead out there :rotfl:

 

I guess I'll test this out tomorrow:

 

Nice!!!!

I picked up some new WTB Weirwolf Comp 2.1's for the ride. Ridding the S-Works

 

That looks sweet, Mike (I'm posting from Aarons house ).

 

uh..

I just got home from the bay and it's been raining most of the night. Right now it is absolutely POURING - a rudder would have suited me better on I5 a few minutes ago.

Do you dudes still want to ride? I'll check back when I gets up at 8.

 

It's not raining now.

Don't wuss out!

 

I left you vm this morning. Sorry for bailing - I woke up and felt like complete ****. Sore throat, and my whole body is sore (muscles are really tight and sore for some reason). I can't be sick during the semester so I decided to stay home.

I went back to sleep and just woke up - in a few I"m going to hit Target and get hooked up to an Airborne IV.

 

You missed a good time.

We rode up Stagecoach from Clementine to Upper Stagecoach (practically to the top of Stagecoach). Then up Upper Stagecoach to Flood and down to Mossy Rock. That whole stretch was like Manzanita, but 10x better and 10x safer. Mossy Rock climbed all the way up to Foresthill Rd., just before the bridge. It was steep and wet so we had to walk part of it.

Then we shot across the bridge and picked up Fuel Break. That was a hell of climb through rocks and ruts. We hit Culvert and then you know the rest back to the cars.

That Continental Divide section was wild today. There were two waterfalls and some of the water ran along the trail for a stretch. The river was moving like crazy below. It was like a night and day difference from last week. Lance and I kept saying that we wished you were there to take pictures.

BTW, Randy didn't show up. We waited until about 10:10. We got back to the cars at 12:30. Not a hint of rain and I swear we sweat more today than any ride in recent memory.





p.s. - disc brakes work really well. Now to get the front end done...
