Do You Mountain Bike?

[MassiveAttack]

Oh yeah, I'll be heading out to China Camp tonight around 6:30ish with a couple of peeps.

MassiveAttack...I know you wanna go!

Anyone else down to ride tonight at China Camp? Send me a PM...

I want to sooo bad....


But by the time I get off work, get my shit and commute from San Jose to Marin, (fighting traffic)... it'll be night fall.

*anyone who hasn't been there... is missing out!

 

[Frodog]

Love to try China Camp, but it is a short notice. WW, next time give me a day advance so I can drive to work and bring my bike. Have fun tonight.

 

[MrCrash]

Frodog, I see you're out in Fairfield. Do you ride @ Rockville much?

Yeah, we try to ride there once or twice a week. It's actually the only place we ride right now (LOL) because it's only 10 min from us. Let me know if you're interested on joining us. I am going to make it to China Camp one of this days. Hopefully WW give me more warning in advance....

Btw, for those who went, how was the ride last night?

 

[be983]

I will hit up china camp with you quys.

 

[Frodog]

I will hit up china camp with you quys.

If you do decide to hit China Camp on the weekend, stop by in Fairfield and come get me. Maybe we can carpool.

I went to Soquel on Saturday with MassiveAttack, MrCrash907 and JnglstTICAL.

We had so much fun in the "Disneyland for mountain bikes"

well, most of us did

[WickedWahine]

Calvin was our only casualty...what BARF ride would be complete without someone crashing?

 

[WickedWahine]

Here's where Calvin fell...we think maybe it was cold tires or something....

 

[WickedWahine]

MassiveAttack had to stop for a cigarette (!!)

MrCrash907 is warning him that if he burns down the best mountain biking spot in Northern California, there will be hell to pay.

Braille trail was so much fun. The jumps and teetertotters were crazy!

I think we're going to try to make it out there next weekend if anyone wants to go.

Good times!

 

[Sidewalk]

I really need to find my way out to some trails.

Is Braille trail in Soquel? Where is this place? If it is not that far, we may hook up for next weekend.

 

[Frodog]

massive looks like a big dork.

how do you try to get a workout while stopping for cigs in between?

hmm...i would say mtn. biking's more dangerous but can't say that after my dad had a nice getoff this afternoon in marin on his rd. bike. :|

That is so funny. One of my friend that I ride with also smoke after riding. Did I mentioned that he is a freaking REGISTERED NURSE in TRAUMA CENTER!!!!! GO FIGURE.

Yes, Braille is in Soquel, which is in the Santa Cruz mountains off of 17. That would be quite a drive for you, but I think you would find the drive well worth it (if you love doing downhill).

The climb in is about 5 miles and the climb out is about 2.5 with about 5 miles of downhill in between.

There are log jumps and teetertotters all along the trail. SO MUCH FUN!!

I think riding a bicycle on a road inhabited by automobiles is asking for it. They barely see us when we're on our motorcycles... I'm not that brave

We saw you guys, it's pretty cool that you took Braille going down. Don't have the courage to take Braille yet.
