YAY!!
Great looking bikes. I hope you and Lee have heaps of fun on them.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

cool
Sweet Jobob!! Nice to see you've come over to the dark side!!! Does this mean we'll see you at a local mtb xc race or 6hr or 12hr or 24hr event one day?
Enjoy the trails & remember mtn biking is much more fun than road riding! How can you not enjoy the peace & quiet?

Ok! So mid morning - meet in MV? We'll do a nice RR grade loop - maybe we can get to the top - not a difficult ride all things considered. I will be moderately hung over from my b-day party the night before. It'll be great.

Welcome to the dirrrty side! DH has the Stumpy Comp and loves it, man you are lucky he test rode the expert (rental) but the budget in July was Comp. Can't wait to hear about your rides and bruises (LOL!). I went yesterday, came back with a bruised hip, I don't remember hitting anything?
BTW- You need bells. Seriously my bike doesn't have one and I am getting tired of scaring the bejeezus out of hikers. DH is getting one in his stocking, his racing buddies use them so it is okay to him now. And if you don't have one in those hydration packs, a first aid kit. We have needed to use ours on DH's bloodied finger (he slammed a tree in a tight turn).Last edited by Aggie_Ama; 12-08-2008 at 08:14 AM.

Thanks Ama!
We'll definitely stock up on the first aid stuff.
Wish I could find a doughboy bell that would emit the doop-de-doop-de-doooooo that Poppin' Fresh does in the Pillsbury commercials. But that would probably scare the hikers even more. Or get me committed.Last edited by jobob; 12-08-2008 at 08:22 AM.

Another note- most drug stores have small first aid kits. DH and I both carry the Camelbak Mule with tons of storage so our first aid kit that one of us always has is a bit big in height but it is slim. We don't even notice the bulk.

dirt
Good work bob's! Nice to see you're having fun on the dirt
I think your right side might be a bit jealous of your left, how about falling on the right next time
MP-thank you for taking the bob's trail hunting!

No, no, no. Right side bad. Right side more expensive than left side. You pay for body parts AND you pay for new rear derailleur.
Left side good side.
Says the person who always falls on her right except when MP stops in the middle of a rock garden so we all slow down and then I misjudge how fast Bubba is speeding up. Not a good idea to nearly ram someone in the middle of a rock garden.Last edited by SadieKate; 12-13-2008 at 09:27 PM.
