Laughing at the 13 year old comment! I hear ya there. Still nursing my ankle from the two-fer Tuesday ride that I had to bail out on 10 minutes in due to dabbing the foot. It seemed to be getting better , but it's still pretty weak. I was in AZ this weekend visiting family and I kinda re-tweaked it walking on rocks (fishing) because it's weak. Damn it. I prob should have gone to the doc when it happened. All I can say is that I'm glad that I at least had those Gaerne MX boots on or it woulda been a ton worse compared to my old Alpine Stars.

Glad you're back on two-wheels Kelly. Nice pics. Still nursin my ankle from the two-fer ride 2 weeks ago, so I have not been back in the dirt myself. BTW - Mucho appreciation for calling and checking up on me and the care tips early on. They made a big difference.

Awesome! Man...I am so jealous now...the sunset and sky colors were so beautiful.

Farcebook pages are what's killing message boards and their wealth of knowledge off. I've personally seen two really good boards go down the drain. I don't do Farcebook, it's a cesspool. SDAR doesn't have to be a clone of other successful sites. However, restricting growth and not keeping things fresh will come at a cost. I haven't been around as long as some of you folks here....but it sure seems traffic has dried up somewhat and that is sad. Jessie updating the site will certainly help. I just don't get it. This place seems to have so many people with a great sense of humor....to restrict fun images seems counter-intuitive. Again.... just my .03 cents.

Nice bike. Welcome back.

Not sure I understand this rule. I get it if we're trying to keep "politics" off of SDAR....which I fully support. There are precious few reprieves from the constant barrage of poison politics these days. Or am I missing something...is it a bandwidth issue? Memes/gifs aren't exclusively polarizing, they are witty, funny and entertaining. As they say...."a picture is worth a thousand words". If we're trying to draw in "fresh meat" to the site..... restricting this kind of thing isn't going help. My .03 cents (adjusted for inflation)

Hey Kelly. I'm testing this feature and it works for me (at least as I understand it). The first picture was uploaded and "attached". The 2nd picture is from a link (hosted from ADVrider). Not sure if I'm a "contributing" member....but I did recently donate some $$ to the site so not sure how that works

Man...that sunset was gorgeous! Makes me even more bummed. Looks like everyone had a blast.

Well guys....it was fun while it lasted. I made it home okay. That was a total fluke....on the easiest part of the ride. My front tire slide out on the loose surface and I wasn't even pushing it. Guess I instinctively put my left foot out and it got tweaked. Riding home was a bitch to shift. I am seriously bummed out, I was so looking forward to this. Gonna ice the foot and have a cocktail. Hope you all having fun!

I remember stopping here last year. https://www.google.com/maps/place/33°09'34.7"N+116°49'12.6"W/@33.1596341,-116.8207132,222m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0xa3c55079b8e10877!7e2!8m2!3d33.1596332!4d-116.8201656 I'm good with going all the way up....but either way, It's really up to the group.

Ah...did not know you were having pic posting issues. So there are two routes to get to the base where we start going up Black Mountain TT. One is Pamo road https://www.google.com/maps/dir/33.0446904,-116.8636896/Black+Mountain+Summit+trail/@33.1115401,-116.8674503,13.25z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x80dbe9efd35a32f5:0xc7ba8968b31e7c9e!2m2!1d-116.8378572!2d33.1355321!3e0 One is Upper Santa Ysabel (FR 12s07) - which is much more fun....but a little slower going. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/33.0446904,-116.8636896/Black+Mountain+Summit+trail/@33.1080831,-116.8818225,13z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-116.8211423!2d33.111808!3s0x80dbe994bd4910f7:0xc241acc8ac14f8!1m5!1m1!1s0x80dbe9efd35a32f5:0xc7ba8968b31e7c9e!2m2!1d-116.8378572!2d33.1355321!3e0 What say the gang? Or we can decide tomorrow before KSU.

This is looking like it's gonna be a fun ride. Looking forward to it.

Cool! Glad all you guys are going to make it.

What say we go KSU @ 6:00pm...that gives us roughly 1 hour 40 minutes till sundown. I figure 40-45 minutes up the mountain from the coffee house. I'm flexible if that time doesn't make sense.
