I think it is time for a sacrifice. With the 24hr event coming at the Fullerton Loop next weekend, I'm thinking we should do a sacrifice to the bike gods. They are obviously not happy with us. There have been so many injuries over the last year (one back, several clavicles, tons of egos, broken frames and who knows what else.)
I'm thinking we donate one bike or piece of equipment(hopefully a piece of equipment) that is considered a prize posession. Now what exactly could that be??? I don't really have any thoughts on it but I was hoping for your input here. Now that I think of it maybe the STR Construction hat?? We can always replace it with the next of kin right?? What are your thoughts???? ![]() ![]()

I'd rather be climbing...

Sadly, it seems like the Fully Loop deity demands blood--and nothing less.
It really is strange. The Loop is a very non-technical ride, but I've known more experienced riders to go down there. Methinks our egos get the best of us? Like the Air Boss in Top Gun screamed at Tom Cruise: "Son, your ego's writing checks your body can't cash!"

I'll donate one of my broken frames to lift the curse if you like - I say we douse it in gasoline and dance round the burning wreckage waving chickens feet and splashing each other with blood. ....Its quiet. Did I go too far?!

We had a trail like that back in MA called Big Pine Tree...everyone had to touch the tree at the end of the trail or else bad things seemed to happen.

I just ask that someone takes a picture or two if it's torched
