Sunday Morning Fully Loop -- 8:00 am

[cbHarping]

You know the huge omelette I got at Heroes? Well, I took my leftovers home. Had some yesterday morning, and finished it this morning. That one omelette spread out to 3 breakfasts! Talk about your large portions.

Just go word from the Mrs we have no plans this Sunday. In all my years of riding I can proudly say I have never riddin' "The Loop" but that will change.

Just be aware that I am a sloooow man climbing. Kinda like the packed down semis you see on the Grapevine.

Wow, just wow. You actually show up with spinners on your bike and your beer is on me at Heros.

[Dino Brown]

Newb's.... Lurkers and those afraid to join a ride.....

Doesn't get more MELLOW than this.... Join us!!!

Note: Many of us eat "BRUNCH" at Heroe's after the ride.... More than welcome to join us!

Would you recommend me using my 50oz or 100oz bladder? The 50oz has it's own pack, Hydrobak. The 100oz is by itself because I use it with my larger hiking pack. I guess it all comes down to how much I might be drinking or tossing the 100oz bladder into a sack pictured below.

[Dino Brown]

I use (1) water bottlefor the entire loop!
Some drink more water.... some less!
Truth be told, bring whichever you feel more comfortable carrying!

See you on Sunday...

[katonk]

I think the most I've gone though on the loop was 1.5 liters, but that was on a hot day. 50 oz should be more than enough. If you have to there are a few places to stop and refill along the way.

[Pugz]

50 oz is usually enough, if you are not sure pack a little more and at the end of the ride you'll know the answer.

We may have a guest join us. I've been riding on and off with him since 1993/4ish when we first rode the loop on mountain bikes. After a couple years off the bike, he's finally getting back on it. He just got the frame back from getting refinished (hint: in a color that only the factory Intense/Chainreaction team has). I'll just say that it'll likely be the trickest looking bike out there.

[E-Man]

Ah man, you let the cat out of the bag!! I'm still finishing a few details on it but I will see you there in the morning .

Will also probably be bringing Travis along as well. He hasn't ridden in quite a while either and is itchin to ride is MTB again.

Today was Zack's (graves.z) birthday - The big #30!! We did an Aliso ride with Katonk/Tim and SlashUsc/Jay. If he joins us tomorrow am wish him well! I'll try to bring some baked goodies for the pre-ride.

[graves.z]

Damnit, you weren't supposed to tell anyone. I was gonna get drunk in piece.

But since you did I ride 18" on most bikes And I could use a new wheel set for the Kona, just in case anyone was wondering.

[davidB]

anyone up for a 2nd lap afterwards?

[DBD]

So we meet at the court house parking lot about 08:00hrs, any problems parking there as well?

[graves.z]

Plenty of parking. You'll see the huge group.

It's no problem at all.

Julia, why don't you bring your 4X bike?

[ezzyride]

Lee - Julia would like to know if your serious about the 4X bike at the loop. Julia rode it at Peters and was fine with one brake and singlespeeding.

Julia is concerned because there are much more hills at Fully.

Mom for Julia12

[bighit8]

I think she would be fine eliva, climbs are gonna be harder, but I rarely use the front brake at the loop. If it is an issue ;she can take the DH stuff a little slower.She will Learn brake modulation at the same time.
Just my 2 cents.
