    listen to this one!! he speaks the truth!!!:bang::clap: if i didnt push my self harder on every ride I would be riding my SS for 10 years with no change @ all!! take notes the truth hurts but just for a little bit!!:lol:


    btw even with all the pushing I do to better my self I still suck climbing and I still hate it and I still am way slower than most people so dont listen to what I say or do what I do!! :?: :lol:

    It's either because he was the ride leader, seriously suffering up Cholla, or used duct tape.

    duct tape? wha'd i miss? :?::lol:

    i also thought that it might have been the camo shorts :lol:

    (says the guy who was wearing wool...)

    there is a downside to the darkside: when you go back to your geared bike you'll have forgotten how to shift! :lol:

    A Bianchi Roger on San Juan is something I'd pay money to see.

    I've seen Tam (terminaut on emptybeer) do it and I'm sure Donkey (Brian @ the path) has done it.

    I could have shown you that for free!
    I've had 2 different CX rigs on San Juan and it is silly hard...seriously Fred, I would not recommend it to people I know or like:lol:
    The trail eats skinny tires for breakfast but I will gladly wear a helmet cam to vid the action:lol: if you want!

    I would say Sunday Feb 10th for the ride....I really need it to be on a sunday. gracias!

    Yup! Pretty sure it was Donkey if I'm not mistaken who went up Cholla on a cross bike. I literally stopped to watch at the rock garden and my jaw was just open the whole time. It's like watching a roadie hammer up dirt and rocks with slicks. 8-[ What's next? Little plastic superman tricycles with the plastic handle bar pom poms and the rear plastic needle that makes a ton of noise?

    the cx is perfect for Aliso, you can literally fly up Cholla and Mathis but Lynx and Rock It are sloooow going...I like challenges:bang:

    Neil said, "you can literally fly up Cholla":?:. Well I looked behind me sitting in my cubicle at work. I looked to the side. Nobody is standing there:lol:. I tell you this much brudda, I can't fly up Cholla for the life of me on a SS much less a multi-speed #-o but I'm in awe just watching it. Next time I'm leaving the camal back at home and bringing the backpack fold out chair so I can just watch.

    I'd be up for that one as it will "ease" me into SS again. Bike is built and maiden voyage was with the man-child this past weekend.

    Tried a short climb up Cholla the other afternoon... made me remember what I loved and hated about SS. More of a hike up Cholla with a ride down Lynx and then the chore of climbing back out to the house. Had to walk then again...
