Simple logistics for simple peeps like me
Date - Saturday, Jan 5th
Place - meet at b-star gate
Time - arive and be ready to roll at 8:30am

I'll bring the "liquid refreshment" if ol' Art wants one.

Happy B-day to you!!!



Can't forget Johnny D and the Fat Possum...



And, just like his years, he's still climbing..



Let's hope the weather holds out for a morning ride!?!?!?!?!?

J- My wheels will continue to spin (side ways perhaps) but as long as the b-day boy says march on im there mashing through

aware of how sh!tty it can get as last pic fist post is of me (riding with J-dirt) on another b-star mudfest which just caked in rear tire clearance and made it a nightmare

Take Chapman east. Pass Jamboree, turns into Santiago Cyn Rd. Pass Irv Lake, over bridge and turn LEFT on Silverado Cyn Rd. Make very next LEFT onto Blackstar Cyn Rd. Park by Xmas tree lot or drive all the way down to the big yellow gate.

I'll be checkin' the weather (wet) and post up again in the AM. If the sky opens and doesn't stop....might need to re-think this one. I've done B'star in the mud before and it is messy!! But Kid A can clean my bike as a b-day present!
