And me too! I've hardly been riding lately compared to what I was doing.

Justin - there are 2 or 3 tight left hand uphill bends that are almost impossible. I say that if you can't ride them you buy me a crate of Sierra and agree never to take photos of my ass again!

Keith B · 05-08-2007, 09:33 AM

Sounds like you'd better bring a case of Sierra with you - even better tow it up on a bob-trailer with some ice and some pizza too.

I'll see if I can't squeeze some Sierra into my camelbak. Tricky bit is keeping it cool - Hmmmm.
Fireroad climb towing a bob trailer full of beer & pizza sounds pretty good as a future ride.....Harding to Santiago Peak?

Sprockethead · 05-08-2007, 10:47 AM

You're at the top, head over to Trabuco. I'd like some pizza too! Hmm, maybe you and Andy should trade spots, Pizza at Horsethief and Rootbeer floats at Trabuco!

Keith B · 05-08-2007, 11:02 AM

If we owned a bob-trailer as a group we could take it in turns towing it for fireroad rides so we can eat/drink all the good stuff instead of being limited to Clif bars and Gu. Plus I love the idea of having music belting out of the bob trailer.....I think I've drunk too much coffee this morning!!

Many people put them in their bladders. Only issue is the then apparent lack of water. If this weather continues it's gonna be HOT on Saturday.

Keith B · 05-08-2007, 11:14 AM

Its always hot climbing SJ. I'll try taking 2 water bottles and putting 2 Sierra's into the bladder that I'll chill in the fridge - where thre's a will there's a way!

Dude, if it's 90 at Cocktail I would have NO desire for hard alcohol

A cold beer, on the other hand...

Edog · 05-08-2007, 12:53 PM

Hey Ben did you end up getting the Zion from Jenson?

jcampbell · 05-08-2007, 12:59 PM

Just bought a 29er zion from Jensen last week. Don't have it built up yet and would love to have it finished for the weekend, but I won't have any wheels yet. Still searching for that good deal!

Yup, sure did. I'm in the process of building it in this heat.
I'll post some pics tonight.

Keith B · 05-08-2007, 03:09 PM

My SS build went south today when trying to swap forks over and the ball bearings all fell out of the race - great!

Nice Tom, you going rigid to?

Gears? 29 or 26?

OMR · 05-08-2007, 05:15 PM

Accu-weather is calling for temps in the high 60's for this coming Sat... a nice relief from the high 80's that we're seeing here in Laguna Niguel right now!

Enjoy the SJT, we'll miss you all at the Toad.

So, it's 10:58 and I just finished my bike after cooking dinner and suffering thru A-idol with the lady. It felt pretty fun cruising around my complex but we'll see tomm. am at Daley for it's shake-down run.
Here's some pics, sorry for the quality but it's late and I used my phone

allison · 05-09-2007, 08:21 AM
