It's still cold outside.

 

Great ride with awesome weather!

 

I agree.....the weather was perfect for riding. Man am I tired......I forgot how physically demanding MBiking can be....but its all good.....also all I can say is that I'll get better the more I ride with you guys. Thanks for waiting up for me....I appricate it.

 

Yeah I had a good time today. It's nice to be getting back in to riding. Too bad about what happened to Richs tire though :\.

 

If you guys are going next week, I'm going to try to show up. Sad I couldn't make it out today. On the upside, I made $400 today.

 

I'm riding next week.

I see maniac in here - I take it you made it back to Mikes ok?

 

Yup...it was great meeting you guys. And ill have all the bugs worked out on my bike next time we meet. I like to get out as much as the weather permits and sometimes even when it dosent...if anyone ever want to do a quick spin before dark im in...we can even ride with lights until the days get longer...again you guys are very kewl and i would enjoy another ride...Egan let me know next time you hit the track id like to tag along and get a feel for the environment...laters

 

Yeah it was awesome meeting you too, Rich. I felt bad you had to bail so early :\

 

I'm bored, so I just totaled the miles I rode in 2007. I put in 967 miles by July 8. I think I would have smashed 2000 last year

 

Yep, another very fun ride. It's great riding with you guys. It is more fun when it's nice weather instead of cold and windy like last week.

That was weird about Rich's bike. In all the years I've been riding, I have never seen that happen before. Is it possible that those rims are a bit to narrow?

I'll see you guys next week.

 

No worries the season has just begun...we'll have plenty-o-time to rip it up!!! we will definatley have to rip up downieville a couple of times this year.

 

Yeah, buddy. Did 30 miles on the road this morning. I went on the normal Mike's Bikes ride, but decided instead of driving to Mike's and heading out with them from there, that I'd just ride the 7 miles down there, do the ride with them and ride back. We didn't ride as far this time as we did a couple weeks ago (there were more, newer riders this time), so I'm extra glad I rode down there. Ended up being just under 30 miles. I was starting to run out of gas by the time I got home, but feel good still .

 

I decided Matt couldn't be the only one to ride, so I did the Forest Hill Loop this afternoon. I pushed pretty hard from about the 1/2 way point on. I still got passed a couple of times.

It was much drier than I expected. I got all ready to jump the big puddle on the screaming downhill, but it looks like FATRAC built drainage for it and there wasn't any puddle. The climb up to the road that is so bad when it's muddy was also in good shape. It was even warmer than yesterday.

They're talking about building trails from the GB Peninsula up to the North Fork

 

It would be fantastic if the tied in Auburn to Granite Bay!
