    eh, reign it is. the fork is super sucky right now, but it's better than nothing. too much work to make the mob work for DH :lol:, and the back tire on my trek would be sketch for a few choice corners on that track (can you say BLOWOUT!?)

    how;s the weather been out there? same obnoxiously cold 45* as I've had here?

    Hmm, I suppose you can't divulge the location of this super secret spot. I'm just now getting into DH and I want to give the big bike a try. Don't want to hold anybody up, however.

    From Laguna Beach, head up the 57 i believe, and once you reach the 210 you are about 5-7 minutes away. if you would like, i can help you out tomorrow, just shoot me a PM.
    the more the merrier, as its usually easier to get shuttles back to the top.
    And about the slow thing, we ride to have fun, i personally dont mind waiting, since i know the trail, i can go ahead and wait at the splits, and in front of the drops and stuff so you all know where they are at.
    I would like to stop and roll up to the new stepdown double once, so i can hit it hopefully.

    Just shoot me a PM and we can work something out.
    if anyone else has been here and would like to join, it looks like we are meeting at the parking lot at 9AM

    I'll be there at 9ish. I'll call you brandon if I get hung up (needa erect a christmas tree and put lights on)

    should I bring the sequoia if I can? that's 2 bikes easy on the rack, and probably one inside if we're short on shuttles :?:

    yeah, bring the sequoia.
    if worse comes to worse, i may be able to flex the laws and drive the truck over, its only a block anyways.
    or, if worse really comes to worse, my gpa said he would shuttle us a few times..
    :bang:

    fair enough. just that some people can't get to the 'being a good driver' part very quickly (or at all for that matter). best check ;)

    hasta manana
