No, not really.

You my friend have nothing to prove.

Thanks, J. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive as hell to see someone in full battle gear come flying past me as I lug my Kikapu up Mathis, Dreaded, Mustard or the back side of South Ridge.

I'm just the strong, slow, silent type. Either that or just a wimp...

Oh yeah, I guess I also have to admit to loving Bovinian & Raptor out at Carbon Canyon. So I'm not completely anti-DH.

Mil gracias, guero. Glad to be here.

Though I've only been a member of the Kult of Kona for about a month. Got a great deal online for the frame and gave up my beloved KHS hardtail.

It was hard to do, but I am loving the Kikapu.

Default Change #6.

Chris,

You need to change #6 from Mtber3737 to OMR, I had George change my user name since most know me now by that.

Hopefully see you this Sat for Gene's ride.

Thanks,

Gregg

I'm off the DL!! Rode into work today. Admitably it's light riding, but the wheels were spinning. \/

I have much to prove and will wave at you on my way down. I climb, but only so I can descend. I promise not to run you over. You of course, will hear my "bear bell" as I wisk by you.

I'm a teacher enjoying the last precious weeks of summer and have been riding every day. I live a stone's throw from the Fully Loop and ride that at least 2-3 times a week. I also like to get out to Carbon Canyon (for some reason ya'll call it Chino Hills), Whiting & did Aliso last weekend for the first time.

I tell ya, if Mathis were about 4x longer with no downhill (honestly, can Meadows have any more switchbacks!?!), I'd be in heaven. Give me a long, steep climb and I'm just peachy. I'll save the downhills for the show-offs with something to prove ;-) Still, I have to admit that Rock-it was fun & I love the Live Oaks single track at Whiting. But, I'll still take a climb over a descent any day.

Anyway, look forward to meeting some of ya'll soon!
