Default Westridge 05/20/07

Before I start, I FORGOT THE CAMERA, yea I know..but in my defense, Moving + Grad School + Wedding + 22 year old = fried brain. Plus, I'm never been a stop & take pictures type of rider.

Anyways, Westridge, Sunday Morning. I'm flying down the FR when a guy yells "Take the ridge!!" I stop, look, and this guys pointing to some ST off to my left. I thank him, get on the ridge and promptly almost bang my head on some huge cable tower. Some of the short climbs were just insanely steep, the ridge was almost all singletrack however, and I missed my 575 on some of the downhills (The DH sections on my rigid SS were, um, fun). Does anyone know why there's so much loose rock on the ridge?


Best Moment:
I missed the hardright on one of the downhills and almost hucked my new SS.

The FR climb back to NIKE when the sun finally came through? That was just peachy.

where'd you start from? sounds like you started up at Nike?

the parallel ST on westridge is great fun, definitely do-able on your SS... by the way, how about a pic of that eriksen?

What color is your 575?

I ride a Raw one and ride Westridge-Sully about once a week.
