Nite Ride at Blackstar to Skyline to Blackstar or whatever "feels" good!

good ride last night guys! Carl, you da man man... thanks for letting me borrow your light! worked awesome last night.... until i i tried adjsuting it while going downhill and it turned off #-o i may be up for another one next week, i'll probly be DFL again tho :bang:

 

I may call in "sick of work" to join you guys next week. :-k

 

Yep, good ride. My first time up Blackstar at night. The views are incredible.

I should have joined you at in-n-out. I was expecting spaghetti waiting for me at home and the pigs ate it all.

Sorry to hear about your mishap Neil - Carl, you are a true hero.

Great fun last night - that Sierra totally hit the spot and made great fuel for the descent. Same time next week??

 

DFL is my job. But I'm working on it.

 

that one bubb at the in n out was awesome.... definitely some weird peeps lurking orange at night eh

 

Crap. That thing has already been serviced by NR this year. Anyhow, sorry Nam. I usually turn it on and leave it on as it doesn't like being switched off or touched for that matter. I'll try to get one more season out of it and look for some LED's on sale this summer.

I'll call you about meeting up today after work.

Thanks,

Carl

 

wasn't the lights fault carl, i accidently hit the switch and turned it off

 

The ride last night was great. We decided to go down skyline for some extra mileage. The most amazing feeling is when you're flying down skyline and all you can see is the trail ending into a corner, and nothing but an entire city's lights beyond. Breathtaking.

 

let me paint the picture for those who werent there.

this bubb was about 5'10, 250, looked like he was half native american and asian descent. greasy long pony tail with a black wind breaker, zits on his face. one eye was looking this way ------> the other eye was looking that way <------------ .

a group of high school kids walk in, mostly chix. he wobbles to his seat and says, "hey! hey! hey! you can sit right here."
other popular lines heard throughout our time there were:
"its my birthday"
"do you have 50 cents?"
"keep it real daaaawg"

after making at least 6 trips to the counter, and telling the girls it was his birthday at least 11 times, he hit our tables up for 50 cents...after he struck out he bailed, WERD!

 

did you ever get that one chicks # bret?

 

you mean the homeless one with the money on the table that you wanted me to steal when she went to the bathroom? nope. :lol:

 

You forgot "what time is it?" he asked me once and several other people several other times as well.

and after asking for 50 cents him pulling out cash to buy himself a burger?!

Nothing good ever happens after 10 PM.

 

Bret u shoulda started a fight with him.

 

Rob, I'll be doing it again on Tuesday. I'd love the company as I got to admit riding for over an hour by yourself,in the dark, gets a little on the nerves. I guess I'll get used to it, but those damn noises in the bushes just aren't cool. I refuse to turn my head and look as I don't want to see those beady red eyes looking back at me. Last night as I hit the straight away to pedal out to my car I noticed that my Minewt light was missing. Shiat, I was bummed. I thought I'll just ride up a little ways and see if I could find it. I did, about halfway up. So what was supposed to be an easy ride turned into a pretty good climbfest for me.

Yeah, doesn't it look like your going to be riding off the edge? The city views on the Corona side are very nice.

 

Good Times last night everyone. I felt pretty good climbing up to Beeks and looking back down the canyon seeing all the lights scurry up was cool. We should keep up the Tues night training rides, cept the big ones for me. I'm so slow it'll be 1am before I finish. :lol:

In N Out was most welcomed.

 

you might even see a CHUBAcabra. 8-[

 

Good times indeed. That #1 Animal-Style at 10pm gave me nightmares, but was totally worth it. Same deal next Tuesday would be great.

 

Lets not joke about that Kangaroo - I'm still having nightmares! I'm down for making it Blackstar Tuesday on a regualr basis

 

I don't think we can make it over to Blackstar, but maybe I'll convince Justin to do a Skyline ride at some point...
