    Don't you know debt is the new black? Go ride!!

    I just noticed this was going on and I think i might possibly click the 'maybe' button. I'm afraid of commitment...

    Did you also include the number of people bringing friends and/or significant others? I believe we are at 110 or something like that WITHOUT the maybes :-s

    Well I had an idea for distinguishing who's with which group. We could use tape with a letter on the back of a helmet of pack with the group letter. Or like an arm band of some sort.

    Got 150 Hello My Name Is nametags sitting here that i'm bringing, make sure you find em. Could writing your name and what group you're in on the tag be an idea?

    Word of caution: I did the B route today with Speckledtrout and like expected, a good part of it (not most) is fast downhill open fireroad (B route only). Just be careful because at the end of many of the long straight aways, the gravel gets loose or rutted in places. Marshall Canyon itself was in good shape though, and the cold water crossings felt good.


    Oh yeah, towards the middle of Marshall Canyon there's a hanful of bumps (jumps) that you can intentionally or not get air off of when coming back down. Be careful. This moron hit one a little too fast, landed with the front tire pointed sideways and split his helmet open as well as a headache that still lingers 1.5 hours later.

    p.s - a handful of rubbing alcohol on exposed scrapes hurts, fyi


    see ya there!

    I'm down for a "maybe". Depends on how fast I lose this sore throat /cold I got up at Keyesville last weekend. First signs showed up Wednesday, so I'm hoping by Saturday it's departed. Will know more by Friday evening or Saturday morning.

    Great views from the top of Potato. Hope we've got a decent size crew for the A Ride.

    Changed my maybe to a yes, now I need to decide which group to ride with. There are way to many decisions for a ride, it there a C+ or B- group. ](*,)

    That just means you'll be waiting longer for me at the top!

    If I'm going out of my way to ride, may as well make it worthwhile :?:
