DIRTTORPEEDO...MN girl checking in

[Noonerbean]

hi everyone, i was just out in socal as a part of my bike bum experience (moab, bootleg canyon, socal) and got to ride chantry flats, brown mtn, and the el perieto trails in angeles nat'l forest.

i also rode the fullerton loop one morning and on my way back up the 210 i spotted some amazing looking single track near the covington exit and pulled over to check it out. turned out to be the puddingstone trails (thank you chris from incycle) which i spent the rest of the day riding.

just wanted to say hi and that i am looking forward to coming back out that way to ride some more!

here's are a couple of pics from the chilly chili ice race on bush lake in bloomington, mn (southwest of the twin cities) last weekend. i'm wearing my snowboarding helmet, many layers, knee/shin guards, my bikini, and riding a borrowed bike (since mine was still in transit from the west coast).

Hahaha...I see the bikini...over the many layers. Sorry we didn't hook up when you were down here. Give a shout out to the bike shop when you're going to be down in the area again. Oh and welcome to the site

Glad to see a fellow "612er" hitting Socal!
I loved the Ice Crit series: wood screws thru the 2.4 WTB's, backed up with Tuffy Tube liners, 15-20 psi and no suspension or gears - that much hasn't change out here - and lots of hot chocolate and the customary post-race Grain Belt!
Ahhhh, the good times!

Welcome Noonerbean. Thanks for the pics. I am glad you had fun in Socal.

[Noonerbean]

it was alot of fun ~ esp. since i was the first lady to cross the finish line! it wasn't entirely fair though since i had been riding and climbing at altitude for nearly a week before that.

i was also on a borrowed bike, with a borrowed homemade studded tire on the back and another borrowed manufactured studded tire on the front. so really there were 3 other people involved with the win. i came up with the costume myself though

i'm in cali atleast twice a year and will definately post up the next time i am there. (hopefully in monterey for sea otter!)

sunny with a high of 0 today,

I'll be at Sea Otter shmoozing and racing, drop a note if you are heading there!
We will be camping from Thursday to Sunday at the venue...if you can bring me some Leinies you would be the best person in the whole world!!!

[Noonerbean]

cool cool, will do. i'll bring the leinies and the grain belts.

[1x1clyde]

You are my new favorite person!
don't be fibbing now.....I am down to one 12er of Honey Weiss left, can't keep my wife out of the Leinenkugels!
