Holy Jim This Morning...Ruff..Ruff!
Just thought I'd throw on a few pics from my ride up Holy Jim this morning after work.
Got to the parking area at around 6:20am, and got attacted by a BOBCAT!  Well, it wasn't really a Bobcat, and it sure was friendly. I don't even like cat's (sorry all you cat people) but this one was so cool I thought about taking it home.   Saw a bunch of these little guy's......  Anywhere it was shady and cool, they were everywhere. At one point I counted 8 within a 6 foot area. And I also saw a DAWG....... KONA DAWG SUPREME that is..........   I swapped the parts over from the hardtail, and built this bad boy up at just under 34 lbs. Hey now, that's light for me! It climbs and descends GREAT! This is a shot at me trying to be a little "artsy fartsy" with my camera......  All in all it was a pretty good morning. Now it's time to hit the hey. You all have a nice day!

Spinning my wheels

Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Went for a ride last night (6-7pm) and saw about 20 rabbits, a coyote, and a huge lizard (which I barely avoided but missed...my karma is preserved yet again  )That cat would've been coming home with me...cute!! |

Over the Hill

Maybe the newts liked the color of your bike. Their kinda the same color. Did any of them try to get close and personnel with the Dawg?
d. Nice crutch on the seatpost. Dean

I'd rather be climbing...

Great RR & pics. Always nice to see a new, *light* Kona around!
I need to get my butt out to HJ before May 17th...

 Karl recomended that I try out the '08, so I could let them know what I thought. There are a few things I could do to lighten it up. Tires, seatpost, coil fork. But I like my "crutches". The stock version 18 inch at The Path weighs just under 30 lbs. Quote:

Nope. Stopped just short of Main Divide. My sugar was low, so I took a little break, ate a bar, took a picture, and headed downhill.
[/quote]I think I'm going to ride HJ to Trabuco on Saturday. Come try again!
