Whites Creek Loop

[renojeepster]

I thought I would start a new thread. I ride the Whites Creek Loop 2 to 3 times a week, and wouldn'd mind some company. I leave from Wedge Pkwy no later than 5:30 pm on Tues and Thur. This is a great 20 mile loop with 10 miles of climbing, some very technical, and 10 miles of fun downhill back, following Whites and Thomas Creeks.

So whose in for tommorrow? Karl, I think you said you weren't going to be able to ride Tues, but hope to see you Thurs.

Post Up! Keith whats up? Still waiting for you to show. Denny? Let's Ride.

hmm, i'm very tempted to go with you. tomorrow i can't make it. its the first part that scares me a bit. i only ride with a full face and its kinda hard on the up hills. i can do the section from timberline up fairly easy, but i havn't done the other section

[olsen_karl]

I can't make it this week (Tues or Thurs) at all.

[renojeepster]

OK, we're takin off. Knight, I'll see you Thursday. Karl, hopefully next week. Later

Im still trying to get in shape. Went out last night for a six mile ride or so, let me tell ya I need breaks on the uphill:yes:

[Knight]

doesn't look like this thursdays going to work out :( you guys leave about 5:30?

[renojeepster]

Glad nobody wanted to ride today, I had a late day at work and didn't ride. I will probably ride it Sunday, with my buddy who is slow, so join up, don't be scared! This trail will get you in shape, just quit resting and find a pace you can maintain Keith. I guarantee you can keep up w/ my buddy.

[Knight]

aight i'll be there sunday, time? unless Kairo makes me go work

[renojeepster]

I want to ride early, leave the house on Wedge Pkwy at 8:00am? It will be hot tomorrow, so early is better!

I just got a Haro XLS full suspension and can't wait to try it out tommorrow!

Karl, let's ride! You and Knight contact me between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll wait untill 5:30 in the afternoon. If I don't hear from you by then I'm off alone, so if you never hear from me again come find me !

[Knight]

how about i meet you guys 7:45 at the gas station? does that work

[renojeepster]

That will work. I'll meet you at the Shell station at 7:45.

[olsen_karl]

Sorry guys - was out of town, got back today around noon. It's HOT outside... hope you made it out there this morning; this evening will be 100 or more.

[renojeepster]

Ya, we made it out, even though it felt like 100 at 8:00. Good riding with you Knight. I almost died Sunday, after riding 25miles on Sat, skipping dinner, getting up Sunday, skipping breakfast... OOPS, won't do that again. I did get a new bike this weekend though, a Haro XLS R5, with a Marzocchi front fork, and XTR derailer. So far the Rock Shock, rear air shock is holding up, but I would like to get a coil shock for it.

Worked late again today, and didn't ride, but will be going Thursday, what do you say Karl?

[olsen_karl]

I'm in Vegas today (Wed) and Thursday; can't make it for a Thursday night ride. How about Friday night?

I'm also reaalllllly close to picking up one of these:

Before you pick up the Enduro, give the Giant Reign a try.

[Sierra Valley]

I ride the enduro and love it

[olsen_karl]

I have a Yeti 575 on order; the Spec Enduro Expert would be around $500 more, but with more freeridey frame, beefier fork (Fox RC32 vs Fox Vanilla) and different rear shock (Fox DHX air vs. RP3).

Need to decide between the Yeti and Spec...

[renojeepster]

Worked late again tonight, so I would like to ride on Fri.
