Whistler was sick. Going to try and go back again within the month.

are you riding this weekend?

Thinking about just renting a hotel room in Squamish the nights of the 22nd and 23rd and meeting you fools in the village before the lifts open on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Cisco training ends on Thursday the 21st, so I may still try to get my ass to Whistler...

Too bad we didn't get in a run yesterday. Good energy with the guys I was riding with. Almost did the second right-side Chorus jump yesterday after hitting the first one about 5 times. Next trip it's mine. My birthday is next Sunday, so I figure that's a decent present to myself...

Maybe. Looking for my sleeping bag, don't have my tent anymore, and Noah is borrowing my truck to move, so can't drive to the top, and no one has called back regarding carpooling out, so we'll see. I'll be riding tomorrow morning in any case...

Just did the math: Silver Star Mountain Bike Park in Vernon, BC is actually 12 miles shorter of a drive than Whistler until Sea to Sky Highway opens back up, so it's actually cheaper to go to Kelowna, eh...

I have a $3,000 Cisco VoIP class for work from Aug 18th-21nd in Lake O, so looks like I'll miss the Whistler trip after all. Judging by the recent Hwy 1 reroute via Abbotsford to get there, you might as well just go to Kamloops!!

Going to try and at least spectate.....

Even if I don't make the overnight hoo-hah shimmy-sham-shally, I'll be out bright and early to send it on Saturday.

What do you think?

Still need to figure out my sleeping arrangement, though. Lost my tent...

You know I was just flicking you shit, right?

Anyone riding this weekend?

Rub-holio? Bite your tongue!! I may talk a lot, but I ride more often and actually hit jumps, so he doesn't qualify.

Hell, for that matter, I'm Irish and 14 years older than Rob McCarthy, so I guess that'd make me the original Irish Rob, too.......SNAP!!

Oh yeah....I'm making that f*cking Whistler trip if I have to sleep in my car in the driveway of Fat Larry's and Skinny April's condo!!

I watched them all a few days back. Pretty sick...

So it looks like the Syncline ride isn't happening. You guys riding Saturday or Sunday? Post or Black Rock? I'm guessing Post Canyon will be a gong show because of the games this weekend...

I think I'm going to do Syncline on Saturday and Post on Sunday. I wanna see if that Canfield is as fast as Kevin thinks it is...

I was thinking of racing the Super D this weekend, but might just ride for fun instead. Not sure how bust the trails at Post will be with the Gorge Games, though....

Haven't ridden Black Rock in awhile either....Hmmmmm...

Who's riding where this weekend?

Nah man, I'm headed up to washington to hang with the "fam"

Hey, ask around and see if anyone you know is looking for a DJ bike. I need to sell that P2 this week to cover some bills!!

Hey, call me if you're riding tomorrow. Wanna make sure there are shuttles happening before I go out there. Anyone have room?

No worries man shit happens right? I will say, willamettes pass is the funnest place around here other then PA!

Broke my ankle and fractured 2 bones in my foot. I tried to ride willamette pass with only a front brake. I pinched my rear cable so all my fluid leaked out. I was going way to fast following some guy and couldnt see because of all the dust and did like a 5 foot drop but couldnt see the landing and i hit something big in the trail. Ankles suck man!

Watching DI Season 5 right now....Sick. Dude, the segment with Cam McCaul and Kathy Pruitt DH'ing is actually the DH run we've been doing at Post Canyon (they show a lot more of it on DVD). They're sneaky tossing that seggie into the Black Rock episode.....Hmmmm....

Oh yeah....I'm auto-RSVP'ing for the next dirt bag camp-out!!

The full Drop In Season 5 on DVD just went on sale today on Rip. TV. Just ordered mine in case they don't show them on our "Yank" TV stations down here in the States...

Do you have any footage from in that rooty rocky section or Middle School?

Post some vid action, yo!!

Good day today. I felt loose and fast on that last after-food DH pin. I hope the helmet cam footage agrees...

Uhm, just rode up and down the street on my 4X bike. I want to ride Family Man Loop on the 4th or ride the Mosier Tunnel Trail to Mosier for a challenge.

Cool. I'll probably do what I did last time and just head to Family Man on Saturday morning and session Drop Out and Middle School until I hook up with a shuttle run.

The Barn Door is yours this weekend!! No-brainer, literally. Point it and drop like the second ladder on Drop Out. Done.

So the big 4th ride is Post Canyon this round? Are you guys camping up in the Binns Hill MX staging area? Not sure I'll make it up for Friday, but will be there on Saturday for sure. We should try to squeeze in some Syncline runs, too...

Thanks maing. I was pumped for a few hours afterwards. So easy, yet so rewarding once you stick it.

Update on the comment below. We went and rode the same DH trails again, but today I was on the big bike. Manned-up and sent the Barn Door. Just didn't think about it and followed Pete Donley into it. Was pumped the rest of the ride. That drop is easier than the bypass trail around it. I went all the way to plywood front wheel first and it was still butter. Didn't even come close to bottoming the bike, you land going so fast...

The car's external temp gauge said 104 leaving Hood River. It didn't seem that bad today except on the quick hike-a-bike sections. Great day , indeed. Headed back out again with Pete Donley tomorrow. I'm gonna hit the Barn Door. Kicking myself for not doing it today when I knew I had it....

I heard there was a fairly long DH trail there, maybe part of a moto trail or something. I know about the stuff from the top, but heard there was more there than what we always hit...

I'll look for you guys at the bottom. If I don't see you guys I'll just drive my car up to Family Man and session Drop Out until you guys roll through and catch the 2nd run. Kinda interested in the long DH run I've been hearing about...

Riding your bike this weekend? Thinking of taking the little bike to Post Canyon tomorrow...

Not 100% sure where yet but I will be riding some where Saturday or Sunday. Kinda waiting to hear what everyone is up to.

I am going to hit late for Dinner on the way home from work tonight and get in 4-5 runs.

3rd in Sport Men 40+

The race was fun. I'm still a little slower than I'd like, but I shaved 11 seconds off of my second run riding my 4XXXX, and know exactly what I need to work on for the next one, etc. I just don't have the leg strength I did before I broke my leg, and have been lazy about the gym. Gotta fix that...

I got a "gimme podium," but I'll take 'em any way I can!!

The Race was fun the hike abike was a pain, but the ride was fun. The extra peddalling madeit more challenging. I ended up grabbing my wifes AM bike and ran it in the race. I moved up from begginers and Posted a 4.50 6th Sport. If I would have stayed in beginners I would have podiumed. Had the opportunity to meet some new folks as it was all pretty laid back. Gotta session LFD one day in the next few weeks.

Looks like you boys had a blast. I went out to Estes' place and hung out for a bit, then did a run with Miles at Post. The little marbles are back. I'm actually getting faster on the 4XXXX than on the Shore...Yeah yeah!!

Hell yes to wp!! The 29th right?

Its really easy- just like blogger. Add the image # from the URL, same with Video....type your story and then publish it to your blog- c'mon just try it.

I found it- but you should write one for PB and use Miles video- Todd's good clips and your photos for a dope story.

What's your blog- I had a laptop crash and lost it.....on your PB page- you have another blog- that submits to the homepage of Pinkbike for exposure......

Still no story on the B-con DH? Slacker!!!

When is that Beacon DH story gonna emerge?

If you are writing a story about the Beacon Blowout, feel free to use my movie in it.

Submit it!
