I'll be there. I'm a bit beat up from Downieville, but I think I can drag myself out ....

Sweet! I almost endoed on that sketchy fireroad section at the bottom of BB last time. I was on an unintentional full speed nosewheelie for the longest 3 seconds of my life before I brought my ass down and avoided certain death. Originally Posted by gonzo

another fun evening ride, despite my flat that kept us out way past dark. Sorry!
Descender - so sorry we lost you! Did you go straight after coming down Manzanita? We hit a sharp right to hit Crosscut, so I figure that must be where we got separated.
Love that we're becoming regulars at Mountain House. Especially Ding Dong Dan Don.

No worries. Yeah I missed the crosscut turn off. Originally Posted by watersnowdirt

What is the route you guys take?
Fir
Manzanita
Crosscut

Then either take Skyline to the parking lot or take Sierra Moreno back to the start of Skeggs to the lot.“Within this furnace of fear, my passion for life burns fiercely. I have consumed all evil. I have overcome my doubt. I am the fire.”

We still have to beat the record set two weeks ago, when we lost the new guy within 50 feet of the entrance when he took the left fork instead of the right one
Good to meet ya, Descender. See you again next week!

Giant Salamander
Then North / South leaf to some road at the west side of the park
Right on sweet road
Right on skyline

Particle, you should hook up with Ty and Nater if you're ever up in Auburn/Folsom. I've done some great rides with them there. Originally Posted by Particle

Thanks for the link and the great ride on Wednesday. Alan and I are still planning on riding the Demonstration Forest on Saturday if anyone's interested.

welcome skihippie! Glad to see you here! Welcome to the nut house
.
I'll have to pass on Soquel, though it breaks my heart to do so. I just have way too much to do to go to SC. If you end up back at Skeggs - lemme know!“Within this furnace of fear, my passion for life burns fiercely. I have consumed all evil. I have overcome my doubt. I am the fire.”
