Descending tunnels. Rigid fork + exposed tree root = soil sample. Even WITH 29" wheels. Only wounded my pride.

No worries bro. Glad I could help.

Awesome ride as usual. Mark--you were killing it!! I was spinning my 32:20 for all I was worth and you guys were slowly but surely pulling away.

Ben--once again you were killing it on the CX. Several good saves that I saw.

Esqo--sorry you had to turn around. We would've waited!! The Tuesday night ride is always no man left behind and social...unless Mark is leading on a SS.

Ah man, I wussed out. It was my first time out there at night and I didnt have confidence in my light and in my night riding ability. Didn't want to hold you guys up so I bailed. Ill join you guys again once I learn to pedal faster and get another light.

Join us again soon! We have no problems waiting up, and there is only one way to get faster (and it ain't easy)

Did you attempt the drop into the tunnels, or did you run down it?

I watched offroadie try the entrance on his cx. i wish i had a video camera.

Hopefully I can make it next time Esqo goes. If you mashers wanna mash on, we can go at our pace.

we don't usually go down rocking horse -- unless bajacabra leads you the wrong way.

Maybe I would be able to make the drop into tunnels at night. I ended up bruising my hand last time (besides the whole falling thing).
