Hey I have a 2010 khs velvet for sale. Asking 900. Give me a ring at 7143910923. practically brand new with upgrades. I cant ride due to back injury and am hurting for cash. Been out of work 3 months.
Hey, sorry about the late response. Yes, I do work at the VA. Hit me up and I'm sure I can steer you in the right direction. I don't know if you're still around, so I'll leave it at this for now.
It is 4.5 miles to the top of Earl Canyon Motorway. The first 2.2 miles of the climb are quite difficult. But after that, it is very easy (except for one very short section towards the top).
The route that was on your geoladders link cannot be shuttled (that is, you cannot start from the top and just go down). It would need to be done as an out and back. Back in the day (it seems like forever..) when Angeles Crest Highway was actually opened, it was possible to climb up the south side of Earl Canyon, then descend the North side down to Angeles Crest Hwy (and have a car waiting for you there), or vice versa.
Dude, empty your mailbox. I'll have to pass on Iron Mountain but I'll meet you at Nascar on Tuesday, I can take you to some sick dirt jumps after. Pretty sure Steve is going too.
I just need some 6" forks and some pads and I'll be ready to follow ya down whatever...I'll need a derailleur to follow you up anything though...running single speed at the moment.
Cool I have been riding soem sick dh stuff, its always good to rise with someone that takes risks. It makes you a better rider.
I met you on MTBR, same handle, maybe you don't remember. I posted a pic of my rig in it's current state today in this thread: http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/introduce-yourself/52706-hello-oceanside.html I'm still not quite at your level but working hard to get there mostly at Nascar (la costa), hope to keep improving and as soon as I feel my bike and I are both capable, I'll be looking for ya. If you make it back down to la costa anytime soon, lemme know.....I'll meet ya out there. Heal fast.
Lookes like a fun bit at the end. Not sure about the fire road, though :-D. I think I need the guided tour.
Okay, let me see if I can advance my leave. If I can't we still have to ride. I'm going to post up a Hummingbird ride soon.
My Mammoth trip is up in the air right now. It might turn into a Northstar trip toward the end of August.
Oh, hell yeah! Check out the pics in my profile, Flow drop, wall ride. Fun stuff. I'll also know more about exactly which days I will be there in about a month.
Yeah, that place is pretty cool and only a short bike ride from the Village. I'm going to check availability for that weekend. I think holiday rates may be in effect for Memorial Day. Also, my kid may have to start school on the Tuesday after the holiday so I would be doing a Saturday - Monday trip instead of a midweek.
Things are good Mike, the riding here isn't as controled or secret like it is in So Cal. Good stuff here in Nevada for sure!
