I don't want to demo anything, because then I might end up buying something.

Just a quick note: Downhill demos will be led rides. There will be someone out front who knows the trail, and a sweeper behind to make sure you don't go off-trail.

Don't let the thoughts of "I'm not a pro, I'll be holding people up" or "What if I take a wrong turn" keep you from coming out. We will be on a trail that is short, it's really difficult to get lost, and there are plenty of us who would be able to ride with you. It's better to ride DH in pairs of groups anyway.

Likewise the mountain rides in Rose Canyon - these are not training rides in which we intend to put the hurt on people. We are going out for a casual social ride, in which the fast people are welcome to take off, and the rest of us will ride at a comfortable pace.

This will be fun! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Dan.

SO! Anyone still interested will need to contact me via email. I will get it. Include your phone number, height and weight. I'll call you with location time and details. We have one Demo 7 and one SX, both in size Med, and a fleet of Enduro SL's.

I have spoken to the City of Poway and made special arrangements for this, with the proviso that we will respect the land, respect the local residents, and behave ourselves. No skidding or shenanigans will be tolerated. Control yourself and your bike.

Oh man, I wish I could make it! Why is it that demo days are never on a day I can make? oh well, I guess in the end it's probably better for my wallet.

sorry... no pics taken of the road gaps to my knowledge, but I got one of my pulling a super-sick wheelie at about 75MPH... maybe it was like 80!

The other is of Keith, Lauren, myself and two other guys I didn't know (sorry). Those were the only pics I had sent to me, but I think Laura may have taken others.
