Come one, come all and have a great ride to end 2007. If you haven't ridden there before, check out the link to Bill's site below. I would like to meet at 0800. I haven't been there since the fires so it will look new to all of us. Hope some folks show up. Later.

  • bajamtnbkr [12-30-2007 03:26 PM] - Working.
  • ReignMan [12-30-2007 03:29 PM] - Would love to do it, but I rode Nobel Canyon today and tomorrow is family day. I hiked the first part of Hollenbeck on Friday. It pretty much burned. Although most of the Oak Grove trees are standing, their branches are scorched. The little single track to the right when you enter the oak grove is not rideable due to several downed (burned) trees. Have a good ride. Hollenbeck is one of my favorites.
  • MT ID [12-30-2007 09:46 PM] - Too sick to make it, this time...
  • luna [12-31-2007 06:57 AM] - No babysitter

If anyone is undecided or has questions about this ride, don't be shy about asking questions. I have been to Hollenbeck Canyon several times, and I have always found it to be a nice all-around ride.

Sorry about your Crank Arm/Pedal problem EMFC. We can definitely do it again sometime(check out that trail up the mountain). It was nice meeting all the new peeps and riding with everyone. Have a great New Year and I will see you on the trails. Later.

Not really, a few guys snapped some pics at one stop, we were to busy climbing!

We need to plan another ride, lots of hidden trails we discovered now that all those trees and bushes are not in the way.

Daryl, thanks for organizing the ride, it was fun. BTW, I tried out the sushi joint that you recommended this evening and it was tasty. Thanks for the heads up on it. Monkey rolls sure are an explosion of flavors for the taste buds.

I had a blast! I barely recognized the place...Man, the fires really scorched a lot of the terrain. Fortunately, the actual trails were all intact, and as a side benefit, with all the brush burned-up, visibility was greatly improved, and I saw many trails I never knew existed.

As always on the STR group rides, I had a fun time with a great group of people.

Thanks, Darryl, for putting this ride together.
