  1. Over by me. Swearingen, Gracy Woods neighborhood private entrance. I saw the chopper overhead and wondered if it was a fellow mtbkr. Drove over to ask medics and saw a body bag on gurney. I shouldn't have done that. The only thing that made me feel better was knowing that they died doing what they love. Then I missed Mehoway.

  2. I'm so cheap my cost per mile is like that 9/10 cent like pumping gas. I take care of my chit and it still rolls like the day I brought it back from Monkeywrench.  My Voodoo Canzo is from 10/21/11 and all I've had to change is a few tires and brake pads. $2500 for 9 years. Not too shabby. I do have a Monarch seal kit for the future. Same chain too. It's stretched like a hooker's anus but still has never broken. xtr 3x9, stans crest, eten, wellgo wam d10s, craigslist reba, craigslist carbon bars, analog bb7s, ergon wings. It must be my squeeky horn, incredibell, and feather mojo protecting me. Oh and always ride through hub deep water to give a good rinse.

    I have the 1st gen kickr which doesnt work with the climb, so I would need a new kickr too. She suggested I get the kickr bike, but it is way too expensive. I dont really need adjustable climbing, so the 2x4 structure works for now, just would like it to be a little nicer.

    Was I too fly?

    I gave you my digits,

    I'll do it for you,

    I'll do it for midgets.

    I'll do it for Wooks,

    I'll do it for money,

    But the sugar tastes sweetest,

    When I do it for honey. (no homo)

  4. THUMPER! MOS DEF  Went for a lap Sunday morning and stubbed both big toes and fell over into a tree hitting my helmet on that first loop off to the left. So yeah I got slapped within the first 5 min pretty good. Then got ass kicked by the first creek crossing and had to take the slog of shame in knee deep water. Craig kept going on the other side but said there were too many trees down to have any fun. Crazy I can slay Georgetown but got KOed on bitty lil Thump. I will try to get in better shape and go back but not until the heat dies down. It could use a few trail days and maybe reevaluate the signage. Also I had a high blood pressure incident less than a month ago and now need to be mindful of chest pains, which is partly why I bailed. 😞

  5. Tried this trail again after five short years,

    the ups and downs almost had me in tears,

    made it halfway then felt so frail,

    then I slogged through the creek and up the powerlines to bail. 

    Many trees down and areas have changed,

    Where there was dirt was now rocky drains,

    Even the warm up loop has me falling over,

    I hate it when old trails make you feel older.

    Do people think someone will come around to pick it up? I was riding through a very nice neighborhood on the way to some trails once and saw an older lady maybe 60+ drop a poop bag in the gutter. Without really thinking I asked is she was going to leave it there as I rode by (not snottilly, more just in a reflex confused tone). She instantly got pissed and cussed me out, I think I ended up telling her to F off or something (my bad). I felt really bad afterwards. I think she was even with her mom. The older lady must have been in her 80s'.

    So did they pick it up?
