Fully Loop Social and Tea Party

SO you are bringing your balls and bringing up the rear.... That is motivation... I will be out front.:lol:

 

With everything going on, we won't finish, so I'll be there for an early lap around 4ish. no hammer, just mellow, I need to start tapering off before Hurkey.

I rode the Loop tonight and there is another hole at the tree before the lake. You can hop over it with speed, but for the newbs, be careful!

 

There's always a hole by the tree I guess they don't realize that mountian bikes are made to go through holes. I think we should stake out the guy digging holes and put him in a bigger deeper hole.

 

This afternoon is going to be UGLY!!!

:wave::-k:lol::?::beer::bang::drunk:8-[

 

Since I won't be able to make the start by 6:00, let alone 6:15. I will just start from my house at about 6:45 and enter the loop from the west side near the fire station, where you turn from the sidewalk on Rosecrans to the trail. I'm not sure if this will put me ahead or behind the group, but maybe I'll see y'all. Enjoy!

 

Cannot make it today one of my coworkers built a new 5.5 and needs some shots of him riding it for the mag. We are going to take a loop through Oneil this afternoon. Have fun tonight guys/gals!

 

Change of plans I was going to ride El Morro with some friends but they punked out sooo ahhh what to do? I don't have lights, left them at home. May just go ride EM by myself with daylight, will be safer!

 

Why do I always feel like starting these posts with "After last week..."

I'm leaving for mammoth at 5:30ish the next morning, so of course I'll be there, riding and roscoe's-ing - who needs sleep?

Should be in for a 4:45-5ish lap too...

 

i'm interested in going but would i need lights? Also be my first time in many years riding the fully loop.

 

Yes, you will if you plan to do the whole Loop i would recommend lights. Others have ridden without, but they usually stay on the main trail. They roll at 6:15 now. If I go, I may do an early lap around 4ish.

 

if you start after six, then i'd suggest lights. im gonna try to make it this week, but it may rain, so i'm not 100%. if i go, i wont get there until about 6:15ish. (i hope nams light has enough juice in it).

 

anyone gonna be there tonight round 6:30ish?

 

Not me man....I'm recovering from a cold but G should be there fo sur

Have fun and becareful!

Guero,

Probably not. I won't be there tonight so for sure they will complete the Loop in 40 minutes max.

I am home bored and sick. Hopefully I can be on the trail soon. Shoot now I am expected to ride faster and climb on my third ring. My freinds s%ck. I am just kidding. I am sure you will catch up to the group if you start at 6:30.

Hope you all have a fabulous time!

PainFreak - Hold on to that road bike porfavor.

No problemo

 

i ended up starting at 6:50. i had to wait for triscuit to arrive with my light. i saw dino and gene and a handfull of other bubbs. pretty uneventful except for triscuit getting a flat 5 minutes into the ride over the mulch...he pulled out about a 3 inch long stick about a 1/4 inch in diameter from his back tire. met up with gene, dino, a bubb and his wife and mtnbikefred made a grand entrance, nice to meet ya tonight bubb.

 

Definitely NOT a normal Thursday Loop. I think we pulled out with maybe 9 riders. A LOT less dirt in the eyes and a much better pace with fewer/shorter stops. It was a great change of pace. We had our lights on at the fire station - the most "night" riding I've ever done. Thanks to whoever took us down the middle trail before the dam. I'd never ventured into the jungle before. :clap:

Have fun in Mammoth Dino, Andy and Ann! :beer:

 

Our actual riding time was 1:09 on my watch. It takes out our paused time but we didn't really stop much at all. Fastest time I think as a group. Fun times. Now I just have to get a smaller battery for my light.

 

Did you guys run into a barking racoon in one of the tunnels by the golf course last night?

I was riding solo and went into one of the tunnels (left side)and saw an animal. I thought it was a skunk at first, but then saw the stripes on its tail. It started barking or something, so I turned around and went into the other tunnel.

 

chupacabra!
