First Lance bites a dirty tire, what next? A pillow?

You better lock the bathroom door when you're showering in AZ George!

Damn, with this group that was a poor choice of words on RSMLA's part

too bad I've never been all that fast with the comebacks, maybe in a day or two I'll think of something clever

Just say 'sphincter.' Hard to say w/o a laugh. Coincidentally, it's not that far off topic...

this trail in my opinion is one of the more difficult and technical trails around, I compare some sections to the Flyingmonkey in Virgin,Utah
just sick... please let us not start with those "downhiller" or "freeride" guys
generalizing is no good, "bad mustache" great pictures
ride free

[Steven Jackson]

What the hell did he just say? What do mustaches have to do with rocky trails?

[TURNERob]

Those damn downhillers and their mustaches

We've been classified as the "freeride" group of STR by others, its all good. Call us whatever you want.

"bad mustache" qoute from Cedric Gracia, "it is all good" quote from FXROB
it's just old the whole me vs. you vs. the world vs. xc vs. us vs. them
i'd love to ride with anyone that want's to ride

I got a nasty dose of poison oak from this ride. The back of my right leg from the knee down is over-taken with the oak rash, and my left leg is sprinkle with it.

Did anyone else catch any??

Vondur and I both got some. Compared to my 3-month experience (2 ER trips included) this is very small. About four 2" stripes on my left leg, a 5" stripe down the front of my right leg, a bit more towards the back of my right leg.

And this was after SIX ivy wipes. At least it wasn't more - there was tons of oak on that ride. I bought some tecnu stuff - both their cleanser and their relief gel. It really helps with the itch and it's not getting any worse. Apparently you can use this cleanser after being exposed. I'ma be carrying it in my car from now on. Might invest in some of that blocking cream too . . .

[ECOdork]

Whow....I had an extra itch or two but certainly no real reactions to the oak. I guess that leaves me thinking I'm not allergic to it as a few of us genius's were bush-whacking through that stuff!

I may have some sh*tty eyesight but at least I ain't allergic to that!

Still, next time I see that cleanser I think I'll get some b/c you never know...
