2013 Superbowl Mt. Hamilton ride - Sunday, Feb 3

[sparkyJay]

Hydration packs are actually not allowed on this ride. Francis forgot to post that. Extra points for those who are hammering so hard, they throw their water bottle off to the side of the road.

Also, baggies. No baggies allowed.

Smiling only to be done before or after the ride - roadie scowls are required during the ride. Geesh - I can't believe I have to post this. You all should know.

Pffft!
Careful, you could get kicked off Team Social Pace for talk like that!

You be next to Dion-wearing La Sagrada Virgen de Guadalupe Jersey

Yes. I guess I owe you a beer!

[Dion]

I'm seriously thinking of bringing pogies for the descent down. BRRRRR!

who;'s that badass with the white helmet, leg tats and looking like he is gonna punk some vato?

Some tweaker who rides UCSC dirt regularly. He's usually found around the tanks, near certain postal type trails, or the railroad tracks.

Total tweaker.

Should get a real day job.

The best part of this thread? If it is riding weather, the whole lot of you doing this ride aren't on my local trails

The worst part? If the weather looks to be shitty, with the wife out of town, my two options are this ride or Kennedy with ancient rascal.

You should do this ride. Better beer at the end.

In! Hopefully with my brand new road bike. Yeah, this year I'll actually ride this road ride with a road bike.

Since my Niners are playing my other favorite team in the NFL, the Ravens - I'm gonna HTFU and get through this ride. I have to be mounted on the couch at kickoff which is 6:30pm EST (3:30pm PST). Brother John vs. Brother Jim... facking epic!!! If Kap brings this home, I see a MVP trophy with his name on it.

To my TSP'ers... there are two sports that I love: MMA and Football. I know you guys don't understand my fanaticism, but my beloved football only comes home a few months out of year! Speaking of MMA, Rampage is fighting next week .

It looks like about 3 hours of riding and a little under 4 hours including the regroup at the summit and a mellow descent back to the parking lot. If we roll around 9, back by 1 and in plenty of time for a 3:30 kickoff.

No excuses.

[rho]

I'll be riding to the kickoff point from the Willow Glen/Campbell area if anyone is interested in meeting up and riding out there.

One more week!

[Dion]

Word. Lets do dis.

Here's a teaser for Sunday. Will also bring a hop riot. Forecast looks good now, hopefully it holds up.

weather is looking good.

Is there any interest of setting up a tv there and watching at the lot? I do have the mtbr canopy.

I will probably get closer to home before the game starts unless someone wants to volunteer to drive. That whiskey barrel aged Bigfoot is 13.2%

What did you attach? I'm seeing this a good bit lately, empty boxes that say "attached images".

[EBrider]

See if it works when uploading from my desktop.

How long should this take to do on a FS mtn bike, say starting from Grant Park? Assume TSP speeds as I'm no roadie. I wouldn't put slicks on my bike for one ride.

Anything goes—no requirement for a “fast” bike—run what you normally ride (OK, so I “cheated” by putting 24"x3.5" slicks on mine ):

You can catch a ride with me from Martinez. Sending PM

From Grant, you're about 9 miles from the top and a slow 1:20 should do it. If you're a medium speed climber, I'd say 60 mins on a FS with knobbies.

Wasn't there some epic KOM battle between Diesel, Marco Boldt, Kramer???
