If time and weather allows, I would like to try to connect the dots between 56, Big Levels, Shoe Creek and Alhambra (It would be a shame to be there and not run to the cell tower in honor of Chuck's rim) on Saturday. Who's in besides Brenda? Come on! Let's ride.

+3 For Motoman...I had to run outside and look at this motorman on my iPhone as the firewall at work was blocking the image...I like it! Maybe it needs a raven flying overhead? One concern is the lifespan of a sticker with so many individual little sections that can easily get rubbed off and distort the image.... Overall, two thumbs up! I like the "A", it makes the front end look like a Telelever!

Boy howdy are you guys in for an exciting ride with all the weather we've been having. Chuck, Bobby and I (and a bunch of others) tore up WV last weekend. Did several hundred miles over varying terrain, including Glady Road (several times). Got to ride in a lot of rain. Streams were up, and lots of crap was washed onto the roads. Y'all be careful on your Saturday mud run. (might be a good time for TKCs)

No reflective pink for Eddy, noted.

Nothing special. Just a caricature of you riding a QA-50 with a buzzard flying over your head.... reflective yellow with pink highlights.

I think Jeff might be right. Have fun with the big bikes on that stuff. Makes me wish I could go. I'd of taken the WR though. At least big levels shouldn't be closed due to a fire this time. Shoe creek was a bit easier last time after I had changed to a larger rear sprocket. I still managed to fall over but that has to do with going to slow/stopping on really uneven rocks.

Brenda, have fun on Eddy's GS Challenge TM, part 2. At least he sounds like he knows where he is going this time. Wish I could go.

I'll be using the Tourances. Oh, and I have maybe 5 minutes of easy off-road experience apart from gravel. Last week Eddy sold this as a beginner's ride. Now I wonder what it is exactly I've signed up for. No worries though. He has volunteered to help me pick the bike up as needed.

Okay now I have to get back to work

I personally prefer the original. IMHO - that one says it all and gives us the identity (I think) we were looking for.

Did I really say that?! LOL! No, it is not a "beginners" trail, but I will gladly help you pick up your bike a hundred times with a smile, and sweat, on my face! If at ANY time you feel like you are in over your head, we turn around. I promise! Just ask Jeremy and Mickey!

Everything but Shoe Creek will be a breeze. And you could easily bypass Shoe Creek and zip around to Alhambra or 56 to catch them on the other end.
