THANKS...and HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TRAILS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

I was looking at their site last night. They got a sh'load of races this season. I'm definitely gonna have to make the drive up one of those weekends.

If you crash bad, be nice to the guy driving the meat wagon. He's probably my brother.

No bad JuJu in stoke threads. Specially pertaining to Platty-Kill.

May be over there this weekend... Although there is other stuff closer that I want to explore first, so not sure

What's the riding like on the xc side of things there? Is there much, or is it mostly hardcore dh stuff?

I'm more into twisty, flowy stuff than huck your meat stuff.

Worth a 5 hour trip to make a weekend out of it?
