Riding this Sunday 1/18 at 9am at Alafia. Slow pace, fun ride, and I'll probably bring the camera and get some pictures. Everyone is invited to come along.

Shhhh... don't say that. That scares people away when they see big crouds...

How is that cold of yours? Sorry it didn't let you enjoy San Felasco more. I hope is gone by IDIDARIDE time...

Going to bring a guy from work to ride as well. he just moved down from NC
Sleepingb18 said he should make it as well

catman · « **Reply #7 on:** January 17, 2009, 05:29:10 PM »

I'll be there. I assume since this is a slow pace, fun ride I can bring my SS? I'm feeling to lazy to put my pedals back on the FS.

BTW, was out at Alafia today and the trails are in good shape.

You can bring whatever bike you feel like bringing.

I'll be there. I usually get there before the gates are open. I'll probably do a quick trip on North Creek and then come back to the parking lot. I'll be in a maroon Ranger.

Krunnch, you're not allowed to look at my wheels too hard and break them...lol. And don't run me over with your 6ft travel bike.

Forgive me but your response reminded me of this movie. Not that I needed a reminder, it's only the best movie ever.

I'll try to get at least 3 feet of air somewhere on the trails tomorrow.

I think everyone had a fun time today out at Alafia. It was a little cold to start but most of us started shedding layers pretty quickly. We rode Northcreek to Gatorback to the first bits of Rockgarden to Bridges to the new Rabbit Ear to Roller Coaster and then those that were still feeling it (i.e. not me) hit Moonscape. Krunnch got some nice air on the little double on Bridges and everyone rode really well. It was nice having JDK out there again and meeting up with a bunch of people I had previously only knew by screen name.

Here are a couple of pictures -

Great photos Bill! It was nice being out again and meeting everyone. The trails are in excellent shape.

I only took one photo today, and this was it.... Chilly. It warmed up quickly though.

I look angry...muhahah

catman · « **Reply #21 on:** January 18, 2009, 06:05:21 PM »

That pic of uber really shows how difficult that uphill is.
Had a really good time. In fact it was kinda like riding with rock stars. How many times did people stop us so they could check out the ibis and the Intense? Ok, just remembered that guy in the parking lot asked me about my bike. Thanks for the pics Bill.

I'm glad my Ibis wasn't sexually assaulted like Bill's Intense was. Definitely had fun out there. Thanks for the pics Bill. And thanks to Krunnch for not running me over and thinking it was merely a speedbump.

KRUNNCHERO · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2009, 07:12:05 PM »

Well I did have to tire check a certain SS to keep em' in check.. Uber stayed clear of my tire checkage.

catman · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2009, 07:27:16 PM »

If I had 26in wheels you wouldn't have even come close! I thought we agreed you wouldn't mention that tire tap online

Now I can't show my face at work tomorrow.

catman · « **Reply #25 on:** April 02, 2009, 08:16:20 PM »

Is that it behind us SFG?

slowfatguy · « **Reply #26 on:** April 02, 2009, 08:50:41 PM »

Right behind that yeah. You went down that big hill in the video, through a big g-out that shot you on top of that hill behind those pics, and then you dropped down into that wall/paver climb. That climb used to be alot steeper and was a true wall that required alot of momentum and you kinda had to throw the bike over it. Same thing for the clay wall climb after the remaining big drop, used to be bigger/steeper, out where all those roots are hanging in space now.

catman · « **Reply #27 on:** April 02, 2009, 09:04:34 PM »

It's all making sense now. Thanks SFG and drb81.

Any chance of reopening that line? I remember it was a ton of fun. One of the few things that really stuck in my head from that trip years back. Imagine it was hard to maintain?

catman · « **Reply #28 on:** April 02, 2009, 09:17:36 PM »

Seems like it was originally like an extreme version of the Bridges whoops but shorter.
