We should be there by 1015-1030, maybe a tad later if we pick up Sean on the way. If its going to be much different than that I'll call you. I had planned to just park next to the office, unless they tell me differently but I'll wait there until the gang is there. I don't have a specific time to be home by, I told dirty girl it'd be before dinner time, but I figure we'll get worn out before dark! :deal:

Getting pretty excited to ride all this single track. How much is there? Roughly.

If you don't wreck once a day, you didn't ride hard enough!

7 miles, I think, maybe more. That's the new stuff plus the old stuff = I dunno, a good bit. Was that helpful? :lol2:

You folks probably already know this BUT - The short way to the office is to take a left on Boone 1.2 miles after you make the left off of US30 onto 160 or Huckleberry Hwy. There is a road name sign there and a boat is parked on the left just before the turn (but it is not easy to see until you start to turn)


It's a little bumpy but not bad. Just sort of follow the main route for about 1.3 miles and you'll be right in front of the office at the bottom of the motor home parking area.

I cant leave work until 9:30 so I will get there around 10:30. If you ride the singletrack that starts and ends in the parking lot I will be there when you get done with it.

Nice meeting everyone yesterday. Great place and great weather for riding. Thanks for the pass as well.

I have some video I hope to get together shortly and will post.

One more side note, running the tubeliss system on my bike and got a flat yesterday in the front. Found the hole, and put a gummy worm plug in the tire, aired up and off riding in just a few minutes. Pretty sweet and easy tire repair.

Even though I had to leave early to get my dog from the vet I enjoyed the riding and got to do most of the old and new singletrak with good guides.
The Freeride was perfect for the gnarly parts that I like the best - almost like cheating!
I only fell once on a grassy camber hairpin on one of the new hillside singletracks - DUH!!!

Good to see the old crew and meet some new folks.

Thanks to Wingfixer for setting it up! I'm ready to go back whenever.

PS: I THINK that in my haste to leave I left a blue bicycle pump where we were parked? IF anyone has it let me know.
