    Welcome.

    If all youre riding is an epic, I suggest you rent a big bike (7+ inches of travel) for the loop

    7 inches of travel? I thought we'd be traveling the Loop for at least 11 miles.

    7 inches ain't worth the drive. [-X

    Cool

    The loop is mellow.
    I thought the post was just being silly. If not have a great time anyways.

    :welcome:




    I'm down for 7 inchs of travel if you are . Short rides can be fun too.:wave:

    Nice meeting you today CeeDubb. Not to be an arse, but did you go out with our group? There were so many, I lost track of everyone. I tried to sweep a couple times, but someone always talked me into going, and I ended up back with those damn hammerheads.

    Okay...there was a lot more pedaling that I cared for. What's up with that?

    And why would Fullerton put those things right on the trail? What do you call them? Starts with an "H"... Oh yeah... HILLS!! What's up with that? I had to pedal harder just to get over those stupid things.

    Well after the uphill-thingies, I discovered some wonderful stuff called "downhil" thingies. I've got this little GPS thingie that told me I was going over 30mph. Pretty cool.

    A buddy of mine took me to a Panorama place. I think that's what it's called and told me that it was longer than the normal trail. He also didn't tell me that it had longer uphill-thingies...the bastard.

    Anyway...I think I'll stick with this little fad and I ain't gonna mess around. I think I'll race in Big Bear this weekend!!

    Sorry I didn't stick with the group. I wanted to get a good training ride before Sunday. I should be there next week for a more leisurely pace.

    Great meeting some of you guys and gals. I'll be more social next time. And please just come up to me and say HI so I can get to know you all. I can only remember a few names at a time.

    Happy riding. :beer:

    Great meeting you, too. I took off ahead of you guys with a friend of mine.

    I wish I could have seen you. I need to pick up as many riding tips and techniques as I can!

    Were you being all stealth by biking on the SIDE of the trail camouflaged by the trees? 8)

    I think I saw you in the parking lot before the start, but I didn't get a chance to meet you. Maybe next time. :beer:
    A much faster pace tonight. We had too many mechanicals last week. Good to meet you.
