In the pickle jar tonight, aisle 5, K mart, blue trail special - here we go - I pre-apologize for forgetting someone - Big steve (or dead beat steve), Lawn boy, lawn boy Jr, lost Loyd, dogless-mark, cast-away (mark toce), Natch johnson riding the cannondale beach cruiser, mad dog madigan (on his very own disposable klein), KC - Casey (the shadow), crash test II, Brick (The White Widow), hubless - scott? (widows friend) , RM rigid marty (needs and upgrade), trouble, PIT-CGM, and pukemaster ahhh a not so sweet 16. The ride Up - yellow - up chuck - hubless scott sabotages his bike becuase he cant keep up. To the clearing we meet Al (throwing rocks at us) and Debbie and the whole group starts gabbing like a bunch of freakin mall girls - ah the view.. lets go. I cant believe we didnt loose anyone on this ride (or did we?)! TO the Rock ridge left - down some nice stuff, I hear spokes twanging and large trees breaking behind me - I think mark left his ___ on this trail - lots of crashing - to the light blue - I hear there's a sale - yard sale. Some nice extra cirrucular rocks and with followers, like a cult, like a rosery around the neck - anyway... We see MOAS then Run into some gravitationally and aesthetically challenged girls (on mopeds) that later follow us all the way to the hungry tiger and recognize that shirt I wasnt wearing on the trail.. Blue blue blue my balls hurt - but enough about me, nemesis rock garden crash the farthest - Slick rock uphill - we all clean?- cliff ...crash doesnt follow my line and kisses a tree - KC and crash take the steep line - crash again - breaks his fancy shmancy carbon bar (made in china 3$) "you pay same same". Power lines KC flats, we abandon him since he doesnt know the trails (and its getting dark) and the rest go down the white - Lb licking some butt on the last downhill (sorry for the typo) - mentions how well steve goes down with his new BIG fork..heh hehh (ah weapons for the bottom feeder ) - "wheres my 35 dollars". We end up at the car 15 minutes after sunset as planned. Thanks to LB for hanging back and playing the sweeper position to get everyone home in the dark - Beers "I dont drink" - Off to the hungy tiger for glasses of vodka (do I just look like im an alchi or what?) food and jodys favorite tatood waitress that asked about him (and would I lie? - ......like a rug.) Some quotes from the south side of the table "I just tell them im a widower".. I was with allys mom last night (sorry).. "she is a roadie.... - so she travels around...no she rides a road bike??" Meanwhile at band camp on the north side table - mad dog, trouble and company talk about jumping the group of boys on the basketball court (and I think they did). Nice ride, very buttery smooth trails, next time lets go somewhere challenging. Rating - 3.75 cubic feet of corned beef and cabbage farts at 900 psi - the bad news - you just paid 20 million to be in space and thats all you have to breath for the next 6 days - sucker, you didnt even get a freakin window seat. YEs more of us should visit space indeed and at only 20 million bucks a pop even I could go if people like dead beat steve would give me my $35... DOH Next ride (for some) is sat am with mad dogs drop dead georgeose 98.6 sit and spin instructor. Jody set your alarm for sat AM. PS - If you rode with us and didnt make the recap, try to ride up front next time, and fall alot, or at least join us later for a beer and start a bar fight or something.. Wed - Penwood for real? or the Boneyard (lactation mountain) im done - another lame recap for a stellar 5.5 mile 3 minute ride - pm
