yeah the downpoors and the wind are making me question a Sat morning trip...

can't imagine getting pummled by pea sized raindrops while the wind blows me sideways...
not my idea of fun.

i hope its not as bad as they say.

 

I love getting blown sideways

 

You forgot the "biotch!" on the end of that statement!

 

I wish summer would hurry up!!!

FUN

 

that's it!
i'm getting the mag to let me write a story on NorthStar MTB park this spring for one of our summer issues!!!
maybe i can get them to even foot the bill for the weekend!

 

You'll need to get friends opinions. I'd gladly offer my opinion of the weekend if the magazine takes care of the bill

 

well the "cheapest" way is the double occupancy deal w/ two lift passes for $59 ea.
or maybe they'll need to get a season pass for $199!

 

i ended up riding at about 1:00 on Sat afternoon...
i couldn't resist! our street was flooded up further and there was water pooring off the bike trail onto the street like a river so i wanted to go check it all out.
the ride normally takes me a little less than an hour (~6.5-7 miles up then bomb it back down home) but with all the wet and having to stop to climb over a fallen tree and the mud slowing me down on the way back it took me over an hour and a half!
but it was one of the best ridses i've done in a while.
all the way up it was like riding upstream in a creek, the entire trail was covered in water washing down like a stream.
i was fairly clean on the way up cus its a slow climb, but on the way down i was drenched from head to foot in mud!
it was so fun though!
my wife thought i was crazy but i was diggin it.

i am glad we didn't do Quarry Trail, it may have been flooded in too many spots and i think on Olmstead, the "creek" would have been to high to cross (read: river).
almost all those trails would have been treacherous. even the one by my house was interesting, and it's a pretty basic, open trail.

now that the waters have subsided, we'll have to go riding again soon!

 

We need to go Saturday - just pick a spot.

 

Looks like rain tomorrow morning. Anyone want to switch the ride to Sunday? I can do morning or afternoon.

 

You wanna ride American River Bike Trail by your place on Sunday? I'd be down for that methinks.

 

no riding for me this weekend.
i'll be riding my office chair every available hour.

this sux.

 

Either that or maybe Clementine.

Are you coming to the meet Saturday? - we can discuss it then.

 

yeah I'll be there tomorrow night.

 

Cool. I'll dust off the STi and hope it starts.
