Thanks Jav for introducing me to both of these groups. I really enjoyed riding with you guys. Now maybe I'll be more likely to get off the couch. Too bad my mtn bike rear shock blew a seal a couple of days ago as I was putting it in the truck. It's mailed off to Fox for repair but it will probably be a couple of weeks before I can do any dirt trails.

Hey Javier! It looks like the kids will be racing on the infamous "Couch Canyon" Trail 47/Trail 48 bypass loop in Fort Ord on the 27th. I hope they have the wooden bridge fixed by then. The last time I went a few weeks ago the creek crossing was totally wiped out and had to be negotiated on foot using the "toss and cross" technique.

Okay, we'll shoot for the March races then...

Hi Javier and welcome to our little group. I noticed that the high school mt bike series will also be down here in the area on Feb 27th. Hoping I can drop by to meet you in person during that weekend and talk all things cycling. Also looking forward to riding with you, either on your turf or on mine. Safe riding and happy trails, Tino

Okay, when the venue gets finalized I'll try to drop by and check things out. Maybe the ride can wait until you're down here for a more leisurely reason.

Just come up and do the 60 mile, and if you feel like it when you come back down the mountain, the 90 (last 30 miles only has 500' of climbing). My guess is others will opt for that as well. I'll probably just do 110 at Auburn and skip the death ride this year with the TS 100 looming...

There's three weeks between Auburn and Summer Solstice. Come ride with us!

Hey Jav, thanks but nevermind on the crankset. I just found a great deal on one from eBay. I decided people who can't think of gift ideas this year can just send cash, lol.

Javier, thanks for the great coordination/time/effort on the dinner/movie tonight. Much appreciated and a good time was had by all.

Oops. Sorry, I wanted to sign up for the new SF American which I just id. Please omit my Pre Leadville 100 movie!
