    Nice, sounds good Chris - I just noticed there was an opening on the Hunter Mtn to Lippencott loop ride. Looks like that one hits Racetrack and Teakettle, etc. so I penciled my name down in there for now but will keep my eye open on any additions for sure. Thanks man

    thanks chris (browneye) for handling the group rides. running out of volunteers, and we may soon hire professional guides...:lol3


    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.

    I am planning to drive the 4x4 over Hunter Mt to Teak kettle, I will be taking pavement back via Scotties and the crater.

    If there are any N00B that are going to ride that route and leave before I do at least there will be a sweep coming by to pick up the bike to sell the parts.

    But I don't give rides to hitch hikers, you will have to do a butts to nuts ride out on another persons bike.

    :deal

    Just another option for a group ride so to speak.

    I'd like to get out to the Hot Springs one day - who's going when?
    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!

    I may do a ride down there on Thurs or Friday. I also need a soak. Lippencot can be intimidating to the uninitiated, but a steady pace on the pegs will yeald success. Just don't drop it..:norton

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

    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.
