2nd Annual Rich Christie Memorial Ride, Sunday 1 July

[WildBlue]

I'm pretty sure I can go.  I will be breaking in new tires and brakepads, so I will likely be in the Pandy group.

Page Mill is  going down, should be good practice.

Awww...sorry you can't make it, brett  (and that I forgot your name on the list!  )

P.S. If there are any n00bs out there who are afraid to join because you think you might be too slow, don't EVEN be worried about that. Ya' see, we all *pretend* that I'm riding with the group, but I'm so far behind everyone that I really have my own group...the SLOW group....so come join us! 

Hey pandy I'm afraid I'd be the exact opposite too fast for the group Id be in a group of my own called where did everyone go group. July 1st hmmmm I wanna but dont wanna(bike not 100% yet, still waiting for the jets to arrive, rear shock to arrive and put the new inner fork tube and seals on)

[scratch]

No worries.

WildBlue - it is scary for you now, but after some pointers from me, you'll be loving going downhill.

[pandy]

Actually, scratch is da BEST at giving pointers. My riding improved about 1000% last time he gave me tips. 

[WildBlue]

Looking forward to it 

[MikeNW]

Dammit, I wish I lived closer.       Have been to that area before, what a beautiful place.
Ride safe

[WildBlue]

Looks great    It's what, ~120 miles?

If you guys don't mind I'd like to stop at that vista point on Skyline (a little bit northwest of Page Mill, I think) for some photo action.

[scratch]

Will do.

[pandy]

The more stopping, the better....allows me to catch up.... 

[WildBlue]

Well then, we'll all just accelerate ONCE at the beginning and coast in neutral the rest of the way.

Going downhill in neutral is one of the fastest ways to learn how to go downhill!  I'm going to try that down Page Mill.

Are you kidding...?    


(Seriously, are you?  I can't tell    )

[scratch]

I'm kidding!  But, it's really fun!  I've been doing it for the past two Doc Wong rides down...Jamison Creek?  I'm actually faster going down that road in neutral!  You really have to be on the brakes before the turn, and not while in the turn!  It's just like riding a really big, heavy bicycle...with way more powerful brakes.

I knew it, people with purple bikes are all  .  Must be something about the color that messes with your mind.

[heatherg11]

hey...i have a purple bike and i'm not  .....

[pandy]

Well...we all know it's the red bikes that are the fastest and have the sanest riders! 

[WildBlue]

You're in denial

Time to update your custom title then?
