  1. Got out this morning for a yuletide ride thinking I would beat the rain but the mist and fog made for some really slick rocks. Still, rode Picnic in both directions along with 2 laps on Peddlers. Grateful for my 4th ride in as many days. I actually love riding Peddlers when the rocks are slick. Really lets you whip that back wheel around the corners.
  2. Had a really nice Xmas Eve ride yesterday afternoon - never saw another rider on the trail. On the east end of Deception a red and grey fox darted across the trail in front of me. First time seeing one out there. It was limping but still moving swiftly. Very cool to see and might explain why the rabbit numbers have been on the decline.
  3. That's a lot of energy being laid down on those drums. Didn't even know Grohl played drums.
  4. They should've wrapped some Flex Tape around it!
  5. Yep I've done that once. You definitely want to make sure that you pick the best downhill run for your money …… urgh effort.
  6. Wow @Sluggo not sure how I missed these guys growing up in the seventies. Appears they came into prominence during my years in the military service. Thanks for the late intro!
  7. I'm definitely going to ride tomorrow, 12/24, but need to stay close to home due to out-of-town guests coming in. Still, I can escape for a 2-3 hour ride (mid-morning is best) if you're interested in coming up to Brushy for all of it's goodness. Maybe @Chief would join as well?
  8. Definitely diggin' this! Very cool.
  9. Finally got out and checked out all of these changes everybody's been talking about. I really need to get over to Candyland more often - love that stuff over there. Wish there was a way to tie Caddyshack in more easily - that's a really fun little out-and-back. Only downside today was coming across a guy riding Picnic on an eBike and dealing with the rocks that somebody keeps piling up at the bottom Dave's Glitch. For me the Glitch is all about the line. There's very little margin for error, but if you get the line right, it rides like any other g-out. Of course the line is different depending on which direction you're going. Wish folks would quit messing with it.
  10. Aren't most downhill parks free if you ride up instead of using the lift?
  11. You goin' out there at all next week?
  12. Nice to see that they'll be offering a senior's discount!!!!!
  13. That Thunderbolt definitely looks worthy of consideration. Anybody carry the RM brand around here?
  14. Was thinking the same thing given his preferences. They really should deliver that bike in a carbon frame.
  15. Ah yes ….. the era of creepy one-hit wonders!
  16. Speaking of 80s Alternative
  17. Ha I'm always getting them confused with The Cure! Both were great 80s Alternative acts.
  18. Let's see / hear it man! Post it up here.
  19. It will be fine. I'm not sure yet that I will be going but I will PM you if I do. Are you planning morning or afternoon?
  20. Smooth like a fine whiskey ……..
  21. Pardon this program interruption but it's time to funk things up!
