Grand Opening 4/3/10!!

Not familiar with these trails- if I come, which should I bring. Hardtail XC bike or IH Sunday?

 

Too much pedaling for the DH bike, but HT's not gonna be as fun as a full suspension AM bike!

 

Looking forward to the party!

Ill be riding my bike setup as is by me for the night ride.. afterwards Drake will be working on my fork. I be sure to give a RR of a before and after of the fork. From my brief conversation with Drake, he knows his suspension inside and out. I cant wait to get it worked on.

this is the bike and fork he will be working on. 08 fox 36 talas rc2

 

flowing 11-mile DH mostly single track with some rocks here and there. Definitely some pedaling involved so bring something you can pedal.

I have a blast riding this trail on my HT(Yeti-DJ). A XC bike will be fun, but can be may be a little sketchy when the trail gets steeper/tighter...however people do it all the time.

Of the two I'd pick the IH-Sunday, if it were me...:-k

 

Man I cant remember the whole week, stayed working on my new shop until 12am a few nights, keep in mind that is after working all day, then woke up next morning to my 3 kids bouncing off the walls at 6am, life is good,lol.Shop looks so killer, anybody not going is missing a piece of art.1st page updates

 

Yes sir, new RC2 Fit damper, left message call me .

 

Two days... just a teaser picture PUHLEEEEEZZZZZZZ?!

 

won't be able to make it out on saturday but wanted to say "congrats." just opened up my own business a few months ago and damn is it hard work. glad to finally have a shop here i can shop at locally and feel confident in the work. plus one for murrieta. cheers.

 

I won't be able to make it out either. Looking forward to seeing the pics though

 

couldnt get work off for the night ride..Thanks for fixing my bike!:beer:

 

Again congrats Drake! I won't be able to attend your kick off wish I could National Security calls. Getting off from work than headed to a Black Eyed Peas concert in Fun Diego. I'll be by Monday to be one of your first customers. Be safe on that night ride, the cats are out there, leave no one behind under any circumstances.

 

Took a detour from my Saturday morning ride to meet Drake . Talked about mods to my suspension . Going to have him put new lowers on my Fox F 120's , mod the air piston , and service the shock .

 

So we are meeting at the shop and planning to leave around 5pm, do I have that right?
I'm coming +2

 

Maybe I missed it in this thread somewhere but what are the main brands you deal with?

 

Made the 120 mile pilgrimage down to Drake's today and met the man behind the name. Nice set up and easy access in and out.

Nicest guy you could ever want to meet and tells like it is. :clap:

Scored a nice pair of Marzocchi gloves for the wife and I as well!

Thank you Drake for giving me some of your valuable time and educating me on my forks. Now know what to do next and why.

Be seeing ya soon.

:bang:

 

howd it go

 

Just got up. Need to screw my head on and then post.
Simon you chose wisely.

 

A really great day at Drake's new shop. I got to meet some old friends and hang with some really cool new ones. The shop is very clean and looks great and a fun bike-nerd day was had by all, though hanging out with all the people with high end bikes can get one to thinking very expensive thoughts.
Dogs, soda and beer were flowing and I had the pleasure of meeting a great guy (Bobby) from Marzzochi too.
However, I did bail on the night ride and crashed out as soon as I got home. I hear it ended pretty late. To all the harder core souls that didn't bail, I take my hat off to you all, as that was a true night ride. I expect a ride report before long.
Cheers for a great time, Drake and friends..

 

Now that a bad ass shop is near Wildomar, you know what this means.???

Farm fun madness!!!!

 

Next time, i am down. just let me know what time it really starts:lol:
