Default HELLfin, oops I mean Elfin forest

Will be heading up the Way Up and doing the Equine Incline in both directions with Tykes Hike thrown in for good measure. Depending on time (I need to be done by 11) we might hit up the Cielo trail. Lets meet at 8:00 and be riding by 8:30.
Here is a trail map:

Aww man....I got all dressed up for this hot date on sunday morning, I was quite excited about it, feverishly applying lubes last minute...even wore a purty dress.


Only to be stood up. Most likely for some singletrack-strumpet!

I went home and wept...I am still trying to get over it, trying to wash that man outta my hair..wait I have no hair! See what you did to me, I'm a wreck now.





I forgive you.

  • el_d00der1n0 [12-12-2007 08:27 AM] - Hellfin. I like it. Sunday morning's no good. Besides, having me for an anchor won't get you to work on time.
Come on bro. The only reason why I am trying to go is because there is only one way in and one way out. I figure I will see Ben in the parking lot before the ride and see him again on his way back down by the time I make the climb to the top. It will be fun...

I most likely won't mind doing this ride again, but I am a slow climber, and wouldn't want anyone to feel they needed to wait for me. As the O.P has a decent ride and elevation schedule set-up I'm sure I wouldn't be keeping up with anyone. If I knew slower riders would be present I would go for it. The distance isn't an issue, the descents are a snap (and quick), just a Sloth-Like climber.

I really want to go back. It's my Goliath.

My wife does kickboxing or yoga on Sunday mornings, and I get to hang with the kid for father-daughter q-time.

I'm sure you aren't slower than me. Would you be up for it in the afternoon?

Yeah, I think I can swing a ride in in the afternoon, my wife has a spinn class at 8 or 9 in the morning.

And yepperz, I'm a slow climber, everytime I say it, people say "naw, we are too, don't worry about it" It's embarrassing sometimes.

I wish I could join you guys. Oh well.

My advice: don't try to hang with BJammin. You will die.


But seriously, don't.

Aww come on... how does a guy with bad asthma get such a bad rep?

Seriously thou... this wasn't meant to be a hell ride, I just wanted to ride with some bros. Besides I kind of liked the sound of it. You know...Elfin - HELLfin.

I know you won't be pressuring people to ride fast and pushing a hell-ride type pace, but it's still foolish to try to hang with you for an entire ride.

Well, regardless of the pace....I can't make it till later. The wife has spinn class at 8 or 9am, she won't be home 'till around 11am or so. I am available to ride later this day, but not earlier. You have to get to work right bjammin? Wish I could, but last sunday was my turn for the early morning exercise, sorry man.

Wrong attitude buddy. Everytime you ride you should be riding to beat bjammin. Cause guess what will happen over time???















you still won't beat him, but you'll know you gave it every effort

I'll remind you of this post the next time you ask me "how far ahead do you think Ben is?"

Forget it... This place is fun but not when I'm by myself. I'll be riding the Daley 20mi. loop instead.
