I gotta run to the dentist, but we can make a date for the Pioneer. The Pioneer is a fun trail! Is there snow at the top?
I assume the market is closed this time of year. We always start there.

tattiefritter - thanks I will check it out.
Sadiekate - it would be great to get some of you up this way for a ride sometime. Its been great riding weather but I see a cold change coming our way and they are predicting rain and snow up here. Mmm I knew those warm days were spoiling me. Best be off to pull out those cold weather cycling clothes again.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

weight management
a lot of technical climbing is knowing when to throw your weight around the bike. you need to have it more forward on the climb, but then you need to back off a bit to get over the obstacle.
i also find that sometimes i'm not in the right gear, i over compensate by going too low in gearing...
ummm that's all i can really think of right now.. my head is stuffed up from head cold...

i have been lurking more than posting
sounds like you are having fun with my "ernie's" little twin

you girls have fun in those california hills...i hope to make it back to my ole' stompin grounds someday and maybe i will roll with you on the trails
happy riding!!!!I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

Hey Bouncy great to hear things are going well for you in NC. Since my last ride where I fell off twice its done nothing but rain and snow so I havent had a chance to put any of this great info to the test. Im not sure I will ever be a star MTB but I enjoy getting out there and giving it a shot. So much to learn.
