Google Ben Birk Photography. Very talented. His work speaks for itself. I think he lives in No. Tahoe. I roomed with his old man in college.

Anyone doing MBO this weekend? 3 days of riding in Oakridge and unlimited free beer in the evenings (well, the price is included in the reg fee). After the event, we're doing 3 more days at McKenzie...

If you forget/lose your pass, Squaw will still let you ski. It's a one-time forgiveness policy. Do they just look you up and print out a day ticket? Do they de-activate your pass for the day?

Does...

What a tragedy. RIP. Vibes to family and friends.

I just got these online but they sent the wrong size (ordered 184s, they sent 177). They were the last pair, so I they can't swap. Thought I'd pass on the deal instead of shipping them back (which...

To the person who had the nano-chute at the Wood Friday...

Man, I hope you return. That was very cool and entertaining.

'95 Stumpjumber m2? I thought I had the last one of those in existence. I need to sell it if you know of any interest.

I have a White Industries 17t SS FW, if that helps. New in box.

Tyrone,

Did you go with Ryan, Barker et. al. to Cool on Monday? How well marked is the course? I'll probably go this weekend, if you want to make another trip.

See you at PCR tomorrow.

Peace and vibes to family and friends.....

Did you leave out the word "sure" or the colon?

Splat,

I'm sorry to hear this terrible news. You deserve good things. Hang in there. This too will pass. Vibes.

A ski instructor ran into me while leading a class of little kids at Kirkwood. I was completely stopped and out of the way. I don't know how he did it. It was low impact and Cohee gave me a couple of...

That's funny. I have several relatives in LaPorte. They're all politicians. Last I heard of them they were in the news taking on Oprah who was whining about the condition of the road that leads to...

That's perfect. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the info.

Where do I find Jody? Paging Jody.....

Thanks for all your tips. The general plan right now:

1 day at PCMR (got a free ticket) -- head for Jupiter lift/bowl.
1 day at Canyons ($109 gets you 2 tx, 2 beers and 2 burgers) -- head for...

Thanks for the info.
Will probably do a lift serve sampler with a possible return trip in Feb. to pick up the rest. It will just be nice to get away from Tahoe which is really depressing right now....

Oh man, that was good....

Did you just call his sister an ugly bitch?

Thanks for stopping...
Looking for a little beta on Park City, Deer Valley and The Canyons or, better yet, someone who could show me the goods. I’m going to be staying in a house about 10 min. from...

.... road or dirt, I'm up for anything.

Spats,
What day did you do this ride? We did the same trails (along with some others) last weekend but over 2 days. On the way home we were planning a trip to do the same ride you did. So, thanks...

Saw them setting up the circuit course on our way out of town to Downieville. Almost turned around to get my crit bike. The bridge course looked pretty interesting. Too bad the Davis guys in the pic...

Always nice meeting maggots for the first time. Well done, everyone.
Mrs. Shoelaces, you inspire.
Uber, thanks for the music. Your band is solid.

I dreamt of a full suspension last night and...

Where does all this moon dust come from? Do spaceships use it for ballast? I'm bringing a surgical mask and don't care how stupid it looks.

I'll stay for a while afterwards to hear Uber but not...

I'll be drafting Tryone, drafting Chaka for 99.99999 miles then, using all the energy I saved in that last 0.6336 inches, slingshot to glory.
I might change this strategy now that I announced it.

Heat is my achilles heel. In fact, just finished a 3.5 hr. 65 mile ride a few minutes ago. Couldn't figure out what was wrong and kept thinking maybe I should take a couch to TS 100 instead of my...

Tyrone,

Sounds like you're doing the Prairie City Fall races. Good for you. I wanted to do that but Wed. ended up being my Ed McMahon Am. Family Publishing Sweepstakes night. I go around and give...

Good to know. I threw a Nevegal on last weekend for a 75 mile ride. Rolled better than expected but not sure how it will do in the Sierras.

I've been contemplating a switch to the S.S. category....

Still cracking the NUT this weekend, if anybody's around.
Give me a PM or stop by the Swiftwater Guest House.

Uber,

It will be good to see you again.
I should be done vomiting by six but my life flight heli ride might interrupt you briefly.

Why were you driving under the influence? I hope you get what you deserve.

No, this is my once/year luxurious trip. We got beds lined up at the Swiftwater Guest House. Great place at the end of the trail. So, a shuttle each day. We'll probably overlap (do the middle part...

Ya, 2 days. We tried to do it in 1 last year -- no way. Also, we're looking for a short ride on Sunday. We head back down to Sacramento but would like to make a ride stop on the way. Any suggestions?

.... and something yet to be determined on the 24th. Just want to throw that out in case anybody is interested.

I might be able to make use of that. I'm at Tahoe just about every weekend. Let me check and get back to you.

Thanks.

I believe it's 1996. I'll can double check if you want. It was never taken out of the box. Cannondale sponsored us, so I had a few extra.

I have a Cannondale 2.8 frame set that was never taken out of the box. 56, dark green. I can let go cheap if interested.

I'm reading this thread and cracking up b/c at the top of the page in the TGR banner is an advertisement for Royal Purple motor oil.

toast2266 is absolutely right. I don't really care what anybody...

Tap,

We'll be headed up late summer or early fall to ride MRT and NUT. Probably 3-4 of us. Are you interested in joining us? Not sure what week but it won't be the weekend of Sept. 5 -- we're...

I have Judy carbon fsx on basically the same bike (Stumpjumper M2 Comp) of the same vintage (mid 90's). I haven't ridden it for years. I'd be happy to sell the whole bike full build out.

All of...

They do a controlled burn below the Foresthill Br. every year before the 4th. Apparently, it's a favorite fireworks launch site for low-lifes. This year it was too dry and windy to do the scheduled...

I'm headed to Mt. Tam this weekend. I hear there's pockets of clean air.
Anyone else up for Tam?

I'm looking out my office window in Davis and I see absolutely no life outside. No birds, dogs or people.

Just a few smokers who went outside to ... uh... breathe.

Did you ride Downieville with Marla Streb, Mark Weir, et. al. on Sunday?

Where do you have to go to ride in order to escape this smoke in No. CA? Last weekend I went to Downieville and it was smoke-free. I think this weekend it's going to take more effort to find clean...

Hope your brother heals quickly and is back on the road soon.

It almost has it's own webpage:

Any embedding help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That was a fun read. Thanks. It brought back a lot of memories. I lived in Denali for about 5 mos. in the mid 80's. Part of the time at Toklat and part at Kantishna at the very end of the road. My...

Agree. Perfect weather and a great ride. I was way overgeared so did a little too much grinding but the knees feel O.K. today.

Great decents. At first I felt a little cheated on some of the them...

Chaka,

Didn't make it out there this a.m. Instead, I'm going out there tonight with a small group to do a night ride. You're welcome to join us. You're bound to have better luck the second time...
