Bleh! pads are so over rated and bulky. Just use layers of your skin as padding and you're good to go. You saw my legs; obviously, that formula works well for me!

Geez, I wonder how you got PO? It was only everywhere and you were wearing a Kelly special sleeveless while tumbling trail-side all damn day. I'm shocked you're infected!

Jesse,

I don't have a bike in your size, but I've got a rear wheel you can borrow if you need it. I'm assuming it's a 26" correct?

Oh btw, you realize this is a big boy ride requiring actual biking skills right? You sure you're ready?

Don't tell me you're going to ride the rigid again. Glutton for punishment? Not that you weren't doing well on it last week. Heck, I had a hard time keeping up with you on the downhills with my Foes.

You should ride the FS and he can borrow my wheel.

Bring pads (small knee and elbow), walk anything you don't feel comfortable with, don't be afraid to do "do-overs". Bring a camera, and most of all HAVE FUN!!!!

Happy Cherry Popping!!!
