bikeslut 1 Posted October 29, 2008 Jacumba North (yes; again) roostingu felt like he missed out on the FN/BS production last week, so called me, and BEGGED me to take him out there ... OK; he just "asked"... nicely, I might add SO... Jacumba unload around 7 a.m. we can meet at exit 77... turn off the freeway right, make another right, and there is a stagin area near an information board on the left side of the road. I'll be there early in my red F150, with black DRZ in the back (or on the ground) I'll bring my low quality video camera and my digital camera this time, since FN seems to take inappropriate pictures of riding partners... I should do the same plan on some sand, some hard pack, some climbs and LOTS o' rocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted October 29, 2008 what have I gotten myself into Jeff; you'll be fine... you'll be with me... what's the worst that can happen Fake Name has not committed... something about a loving family and the need to earn an income... what a nancy Ozzy may be in Utah/Colorado/New Mexico or some other exotic locale... only a few more weeks for those places, then time to break out the snowmobiles... Ozzy; if you want to go, you can 'pool with me HondaPilot? Mimi? I would NOT consider this a newb-friendly ride, but if anybody wants to test their limits, I will be willing to lead them around, as well. Experienced riders (those listed above all easily qualify) will have no issues, I would think... Paul and I each fell once, due to sun-blindness on a rocky trail, and I smashed my knuckles on a manzanita. I think if you are a newb, but have an aggressive riding style, you will be fine... limp-wristed approaches are not the best way to attack this kind of landscape...

bikeslut 1 Posted October 30, 2008 What's with the Mondays? Darn it. I want to go, but can't do it Monday. .....someday. Christi- post a Sunday ride, and we can go... I like Mondays because... fake name, ozzy, hondapilot, mimi, esefa, bill and jeff are all available, and they're pretty much the coolest people in the world- and they ride pretty darn well, too I don't work Mondays- I work at SeaWorld, and work Saturdays, just to keep control of the MOBS of out of control people... the employees, not the tourists most people don't ride Mondays... I have never had a head on at Corral or Lark on a Monday, but have on weekends I don't seem to have any discussions with Law Enforcement on weekdays... not that I would ever do anything wrong, but they seem to be out en masse on weekends. traffic is non-existent during the week from my house East was that more than you wanted to know?

tntmo 887 Posted October 30, 2008 I've got some kind of trip that's supposed to come to an end on Monday, but I'll be in too late to make it on this ride. I'll have the following Monday off so maybe we can do something then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gee don’t you ever work, seems like all you ever do these last few months is go “boating” or visit foreign lands. You totally ignore us. You haven’t been on a ride once with us because you’re too busy with your “yacht club” friends. It will be good to have you back Chief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pucker factor of? I've ridden the other side of the road at McCain, really rocky, lots of single track. I'm assuming it's similar, didn't have any problem. I just don't want to be the new guy and the slow guy. How tolerant will the group be for a medium paced rider? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 30, 2008 OK- I am going to link all of my replies in to one post... figure out which pertains to you Thurston Howell III- when you are done with your silly little overseas jaunt with all of your snobbish jet set friends, we can definitely go for a ride... Red- I didn't see any signs on "that" side precluding red sticker bikes... I saw very few signs at all... Brad or Mimi will know we're ON for the 3rd... details as we get a little closer it will be a patient group... it is really not that hard, per se, and the pucker factor wasn't bad... no real real cliffs, no insane gradients, etc. We'll only go as fast as the slowest guy; SOMEBODY will be the slowest guy, and SOMEBODY will be the fastest... no worries... IF the ride starts making you nervous while we're on it, say something right away, so we don't waste time backtracking, or worse... like I said... an aggressive wrist will get you through all this stuff no problem... it is not technical... just a little loose at times, sandy at times, and rocky all the time 24 hour flus are not uncommon this time of year; of course, if you are the VP of a company, and your SO is the President, that may not work so well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted October 31, 2008 If you show up on an unplated bike and need to cross a "plated area" know that we'd put you in the middle between two plated bikes to give you the best chance of "passing". One step closer to going Monday- scheduled a Monday-wanting client over to Tuesday.... fn PS: But if you're super-fast on your two-stroke moped, know also that you'll collect the sneers of the jealous and small-minded ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
