Bruce Shannon and I did a quick El Moro run this AM. There were so many people out there that riding the singletrack was not fun. I have been riding El Moro for years and have never seen so many people out there...mostly bikers. It is getting like Aliso on the weekends. Help open more singletrack or put in traffic lights.

Anyway, I went out to see Shannons new paint job and it is very nice. Looks much better in person and a new Pace Carbon Fork.

That how it was last Sunday too. Busy, busy.

ShinKen · 02-10-2007, 04:44 PM

the bike looks sweet!! great job BOB!!

Pain Freak · 02-10-2007, 05:58 PM

What have you guys done to that poor girl. SS, 29nin,carbon fork? Sheesh, come on back to the fun side Shannon. Those boys want to hurt you.

Gorgeous bike.

But c'mon now....a blue bottle???

She's right where she's suppose to be, even talkin trash about geared bikes. Things like "I will never ride a geared bike again"...you know that early conversion, I have seen the light stuff.

A good day up in the San Gabriels should change that.

Pain Freak · 02-10-2007, 06:05 PM

Yeah, but what about the blue bottle???

Shannon · 02-10-2007, 06:16 PM

HA! Yeah the blue bottle does look pretty cheesy I admit. All my other bottles were dirty, my blue bottle is like the last pair of underware you have when everything else is in the laundry.

Thanks y'all for the compliments on my bike. I was afraid it would seem pretty vain to paint it when I had a prefectly good paint job. But I can't stand purple. And for $100 bucks why not paint my bike the color I like.

Sorry Mike, I must confess that SS 29er is the way to go. Maybe you just haven't come to the light yet....

El Moro was the most crowded I've seen it this morning. I see Dean failed to mention that he almost took some guy out on Missing Link. Nice save though Dean!

On that section WHO was going uphill and had the right away. We came more than close, actually hitting handlebars by the time we came to a stop. If I am going to ride weekends out there, I have to put my bell back on my bike.

Pain Freak · 02-10-2007, 06:22 PM

You guys don't know what crowded is....We had 10,000 show up for our ride out in Palm Springs.

tkblazer · 02-10-2007, 09:11 PM

dean steamrollin other guys NICE! all this talk about ss'in and 29ers makes me want one hahahahahah one day... one day

PacMan · 02-12-2007, 08:25 PM

Nice looking bike--when I climb Noble, you should come along and ride that

I too will get a rigid 29er SS someday--someday very, very far off in the future, but someday.
