    Hi I'm Bryan, I'm from up-state Ny and I'm addicted to gravity. I'm at the geriatric old age of 30 and up here in the Lompoc area for work. I've been doing the down hill thing for a while but these past 4 years it's taken a backseat due to medical issues. Now that most of these issues are getting fixed I'm itching to getting back on the old rig! Growing up in the late '90s I've grown a somewhat strong attachment to the old Schwinn relics that were once at the top of the mountain. Although they are now swimming with the fishes in the deepest darkest hole in the ocean I still love the 'ol Straight 8! and " I'll keep it going till the derailleur hanger snaps off then I'll upgrade ". I'm looking at doing some shuttle runs! So if any one has some more info on that that would be awesome! Any how, RIDE On!!

    Zero-g, Monroe Truck Trail,(actual trail name, GMR is the paved road that parallels Monroe across Little Dalton Cyn. that leads up to the trailhead) is a bit more than an hours drive, like 2-2-1/2hrs. Not really worth the time. If he's a dh'r, then he's probably better off heading from Lompoc north about an hour to San Luis Obispo and hooking up to some of the locals there.
    Schwinn8 welcome to the board. Love the pix of your chocolate lab. We have a 70lb. female black lab. Labs rule! :bang:-Lloyd :wave:

    my bad, I could have typed out the type of person I am but I figured it would be more fun to show it though time. [​IMG].. I'm a bit of a clown and I don't take to much that's posted on forums to seriously anymore. granted! sometimes after a beer or 12 the letters might get a bit angry! but over all i like to think of myself as a pretty laid back sarcastic guy who can offer all sorts of usefull information depending on the topic and i'm not not to pretend to think i know what i'm talking about. if i'm wrong i'll admit it but if i'm right and i know i'm right! i'll standby my words and opinions
