Mixing of the tribes at Case.

Note - this is a recap by GI-Jane, some comments have been added by puke in Italics for the first true recap mix.

Tuesday night Vernon Cycle shop ride featuring some of your favorites from the Bike Rag nickname crue (crew is the correct spelling nice) - Focker, S+B, Joe Dirt, Super Skirt(SSK), GI Jane, and some of the shop ride regulars Naked Dennis, Brent (BB bent brent) and Jeff (Skidmark?).

Roll out of the new parking lot on Birch Mountain Rd. (note fence and gate going up at Girl Scout Camp parking area currently). The fence so bikerag people can stand there and charge for parking - 75 cent!!!  Head up white dot single track over to improved carriage path, down to pink? (always prefer going down to pink, unless its that time of the month - I would go down the red) trail up to yellow. SSK is on old Kona Ti bike (not the peanut butter licking dog) as SC Superlight is being manhandled by FedEx out to Crested Butte. Stop to regroup and SSK has the old Kona working it's way through the group  towards the front. Guys just being polite?? Small group of former pro racers comes by while Focker is taking a leak. GI Jane is impatient and wants to hang with the old pros, leaves Focker dick in hand (nice touch) and takes off at race pace. Past old fireplace and on to to the double track. GI realizes Focker is no where and waits. Focker explains why when prompted. Ooops.

Down double track to old red dot over to blue. All make it safely including GI Jane who is on demo Gemini from Cannondale. Down blue at speedy clip to blue/red cutoff down to Coop. This is the currrent favorite section of trail at Case. Fun and fast technical. Cross the steel bridge and it is time to whistle showtunes (porn-music) while riding up the fern. Focker can't whistle so he bolts to the front while most of the group is on the bridge still. Group all strung out (on crack). GI catches Focker when he waits at first intersection. That guy is OK - good group ride ettiquette. Joe Dirt is on Jane's tail but waits at intersection for rest of the group (translation - JD riding GI hard cant wait for insertion?). Focker and Jane head up to powerlines. Jane sucking wheel tells Focker it's OK if he wants to pick up the pace any time he wants. Focker is unimpressed and secretly plans revenge. GI Jane off to Colorado for high altitude training to be safe. Large girlie ride is also at powerlines. Ten or so girls in the woods with kneepads on blow the entire group away. Hmmmm. Suggest Joe Dirt might find a girl for him in the group but he declines (next bikerag dating contenter!!?). Oh well. At least he has a Bullit on order (yup something else to ride). Regroup and say our pleasantries. Now it is time to fly down the Tinti trail.

Much fun had by all on the Tinti, including some spirited dicing between Dennis and Jeff. Both giggling like school girls at the bottom. Wait till Jeff gets his new Heckler Dennis. Also noted that Brent has NO cycling shorts on, just some Addidas shorts and something else? Claims to poor for cycling shorts. Ouch! He's nuts!! Down the dirt road to a left to the low steel bridge. Paceline it to the first
right down to the stream. No water so we all ride it, or so. Hammer along the tan? colored trail back towards the GSC turnoff. Stay straight onto the yellow and up to the lookout. Ahh the buena vista sure is pretty.  I love the smell of vomit in the morning..

Joe Dirt shows S+B the 2.1 foot drop off in the bushes at the lookout. Wheelie drop with style for Joe Dirt. S+B goes for the huck. GI Jane with bad viewing angle (hands over eyes) not sure what went wrong but S+B semi saves it with no harm done. Joe Dirt suggests wheelie drop. S+B contemplates twice but takes the zero. Nice try, good try, nice good try S+B.

On down the ledges trail to white dot singltrack we came up. Nice water bars and jumps to sweeping turns in trees. Too bad it is almost brail trail by now. Back to the lot safely and all are happy. GI Jane, SSK and Splatt are all out west next 2 weeks. Shop ride is at Soap Stone next Tuesday, then back to Case after that. Check vernonpsycho.com, uhhhhh make that vernoncycle.com for more info on the weekly rides page.  Bastard dropping a plug in his recrap - who does he think he is - recap stuffer..

Ride rating? Who knows how the rating scale works? How about this - It was better than going down to the river for an enema from QM. Who knew?
