After work springs ride 7/13/2011

[hitechredneck]

Was thinking we need to have a ride posted up about a ride after work. I would vote Palmer but afraid any afternoon shower will turn it into a slop fest. So where shall we go? Plan on Palmer with a fall back ride? Help with some info or input. Thinking normal 600pm start time.

[kristian]

I'm out this week--have fun guys!

[rcjonessnp175]

Im in where ever is good for me

[bismirle]

Palmer would be fun, it has been awhile since I have ridden there. A backup is a good idea. Just plan on the canyon for backup right? Red Rocks, Ute, Palmer all turn bad in the rain. How about a Falcon Trail ride with Hitech getting us on the grounds?

[Jaydude]

There has been talk of either Monument or CMSP Both sound awesome. Monument is better for rain.

[rcjonessnp175]

Monument was fun on saturday be cool to hit that up, havent done palmer yet that would be cool to. From what im seeing thier is no bad trail just be weather dependent .

I would like to ride Palmer our Cmsp but both can get quite muddy. So I'm with bismirl and say we hit up cj to chutes from stratton.

[p_DuBs]

i loved your description of the biking in the springs Jonesy
"It's like coming back to a fire hose of trails" or something to that effect

oh...i'm in for weds

[hitechredneck]

Ok well lets just shoot for chutes, buck horn, jacks run on weds. Meet in the stratton open space parking lot at 600 pm. We can save palmer for a night that the weather is not so iffy. Sound good to everyone?

[rcjonessnp175]

sounds good to me

[Short Bus]

See you there!

[Colo Springs E]

My car is in for a service on Wednesday, so I'm somewhat at the mercy of the shuttle gods/dealership. If any way possible I'll make it though--would like to try out my NEW BIKE! Yes, I went squishy.

[hitechredneck]

Nice, new bikes are always fun. Hopefully you get a chance to break it in tomorrow


I tapped that

[Colo Springs E]

Here she is. New (but 2009 model) Fuji Outland Pro. Reba fork, Ario 22 shock, SLX drivetrain, remote lockout. Can't wait!

[kristian]

Nice Eric!

[Colo Springs E]

Ha ha Kristian, you probably had no idea you had so much influence, huh? Had been thinking about/looking at full suspension for awhile, and my GT suddenly sold over the weekend (had it on c'list for awhile), so had an excuse to buy something new. I had ridden and compared a fair amount of bikes, and this one seemed well spec'd for the $ and seems to fit well. Can't wait! -E

[bismirle]

The bike is looking good. Nothing like breaking it in on Buckhorn and Jacks.

[Short Bus]

Nice bike E!

Nice ride!
But you gotta do something about those wheel reflectors...

[Colo Springs E]

Yes, rookie mistake taking pics BEFORE I had sanitized it! They were off prior to moving to the garage!

Other than that... the thing just looks too damn new and shiny... we'll have to do something about that.

[bismirle]

I am sure it'll be blast breaking the new bike in. I just 'bought' a bike but the shop won't let me take it until I pay for the whole thing... Go figure...

[hitechredneck]

Nice dude, what did you end up getting?


I tapped that

[bismirle]

I got the 2010 Enduro from Criterium. Fit well, as far as I could tell. It is a large, solid black.

Edit: forgot to mention it came with a Trestle pass. So I guess I'll have to check that place out now.

[Colo Springs E]

Paul (p_DuBs) and I got in some nice flowy stuff at P Park this afternoon, I probably won't make it tomorrow, likely can't make it there in time. First ride on the bike was great!

You guys have fun...

[kjbike]

I'm working w/ clients until 8pm, so no ride for me. If you guys are doing the Canon you're welcome to park at my place for car safety.

[bmaddock]

I will try and make it out for the ride tomorrow. Made it out about month ago in red rocks when we grabbed BBQ after, looking forward to riding again with you guys.

Give me a call when you get done, maybe we can link up for a post ride refreshment.

[hitechredneck]

Bump to the top for anyone looking for something to do after work today.

[hitechredneck]

Yes, I dont want to take up kips parking area with this many cars.

[Jaydude]

[bismirle]

[Short Bus]

I'm not going to be able to ride tonight either... My hand is still pretty jacked up from Sundays ride.
You guys have fun, hope to see ya'll on Saturday.

[JOEMTBR COLORADO]

[rcjonessnp175]

[bismirle]

Well, looks like I'm out now too. My wife has an injured knee and I need to be around to help out. Have fun.

[Short Bus]

Oh, screw this hand...
I'm in, see you guys there.

[hitechredneck]

Nice see you there dude. I just got off the phone with todd so he might show up as well.

[rcjonessnp175]

That's the spirit sacrifice the body

[Colo Springs E]

edit

[bmaddock]

I didn't see anyone at the stratton lot at 6... did you guys not ride or did I have the wrong lot?

That would be me! My hippy-ness has shrunk considerably since they have been gone.

[atergo76]

Well I didnt make it tonight, I had way too much sand in my vagina to keep up with you guys. Hope it was a good ride.

[rcjonessnp175]

was a great ride almost ate a tree but thats how you learn and get better. The storm missed us by miles so weather was not an issue at all.

Jonesy

ps going to ride again tommorrow anybody game and im open to ride anywhere.

[Short Bus]

Awesome ride guys, definitely glad I went!

[hitechredneck]

Fun ride tonight I had a good time.

[pjn]

That was a blast, nice to enjoy a ride rather than "train".
Brad you must have hit the wrong lot, we didn't leave the lot till after 6.
