I should be out there this weekend and will let you know how "good" (some might say that I have my bad and good confused) it is.

Lippincott kicked my ass last year, the bike laid down 8 or 10 times. This year I'd like to return the favour

How about Friday doing the same route as Mr. G Thursday ride?
I can help with dinner Thur/Fri/Sat.

good possibility i can lead a noobs ride on thurs and friday. starts at 8am and have to be back in the campground by 3 pm. if there are noobs who still don't have a group to join, please post up and i can put together an easy ride.

thursday will start easy, do some drills, then progress to more exciting terrains. maximum of 8 riders. must have knobs and wear attgatts.

Nice. I'd stop by for a drink but I'll be in San Bernardino that day getting my ARC CPR cert through the SBNF Adopt-A-Trail group.

That will give you just enough time to get your call. You'll just hvae to check the FCC website to learn it.

So you want to be " laid down 8 or 10 times" I am sure there are people there that will accommodate.

I'd also like to take another kick at Lippincott if I can tag along with somebody. I guarantee I'll do a better job than last year!

cindy, hope there's a noob/int group that can do this one. one of my favorites. if i'm not hosting, i would love to lead a group.

just figure out it's a 150 mile round trip. it is going to be a long day. plan on 10 hours. leave around 7 am and back before dinner time. friday will be your best bet, so in case you get stuck, you don't miss the raffles and awards...

a good rider with gps skill can lead the group. come on now folks, the first noob rally we only had 1 gps, most are dv virgins and almost all were noobies. you guys can do it. damit, where's macadamia?

I have to ask because well because I just have to. I have heard at the Hot Springs clothing is optional. Is this true and will there be naked people prancing around?
