Damn dood, we'd be done before 9am. I'm looking for a little longer ride, but if nothing comes up I'll get over there.

Update guys/gals. Epic says we can add some more in, so we will start out with the basic, then on the way back we can through in Webb, climb back up and descend back thru Roller Coaster and Bear junction. Should make for a more worthwhile trip.

Alright...after this weekend's race, I realized that I'm seriously out of shape. Riding once a week won't make me very competitive, huh?

I should have two friends in tow. My buddy Ronda from Anaheim and Humberto from Upland.

Ronda will grind her way up anything and Humberto hasn't been on his bike in a very long time. He's a big boy but will slowly pound those 220lbs up to the top.

I haven't ridden Marshall in many months. Should be fun to get back there. I remember when Potato was my nemesis. Now? Now, I own that hill.

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Good to hear we're doing some extra credit. Let's get some dirt!

Hmmm, go down the face of potato? What? And give the hill a chance to own me back? I don't know about that!

Happy 4th, Tom!

Not too bad of a way to spend a Wednesday morning. I probably would have slept in late anyway.
