Another rider down
OddJob is out with a jacked up ankle, but today saw the return of 3 of the walking wounded, The Dude, Inky, and Karver Kai.
Mr Positve and Everett have returned from their racing jaunt on the east coast, and we were treated by are rare appearance of Mr Awesome. I even got an "awesomely smooth riding" from Mr Awesome. Conditions were mixed, with Roulette wind burnished nice and firm, and firecut groomed, variable on the soft side. Everyone was laying down some nice turns despite the 150mph winds laced with 00 buckshot sized ice pellets. Oh, it was sunny for once as well, and relatively empty, we didn't even need to hop on the short bus today. I could say that I will miss all of you when I am in Aspen next week, but I would be lying

I never subscribed to the hype and marketing end of sportslegs, I just tried them on an early season bike ride and my legs felt pretty good, so I used them again, and again.... For a little over a buck a day (based on 6 tabs ) it is not major monetary investment that for me helps extend my riding time, totally anecdotal and non quantifiable, but worth it

Nice day today, though short for me due to a lack of fitness, which is getting better thank you very much as time progresses, and the madness accompanied by the invasion of the MLK holiday hordes. After some initial tailgate tinkering, got out on the Big Ass Virus today. If the Monsta is a caddy, the virus is a twitchy, nervous Ferrari. I mean that in a good way. You have to work, but damn, you are definitely rewarded for your efforts.
ArneBurner, Dusty Bottle, Odd Job(first place in his second gs race!) Odd Jobs college buddy Christian,esq., The Dude and myself lapped1 for a few, where I was complimented on the depth and general nastiness of my trenches. Arne, Odd Job, Dusty Bottle and myself soon adjourned to the short bus, and hit the valley for the promise of empty chairs and lack of gapers over on switch back. We made it pretty unrideable in about an hour, and retreated to the Rat for analgesic recovery drinks.
another fun bonus day, looking forward to some non holiday riding

Sorry to hear that Matt, man are we getting rickety. I was just thinking about you the other day and was wondering how you where doing, I was thinking you where ditching us 'cause we are a bunch of freaks ( not me, btw ). How is your rehab going? From recent experience, I have lost a shitload of strength in my left leg, and my fitness in general is not good. I can at least get to the lift without stopping now, albeit slowly. I will be doing a bbq this summer, so maybe we will see you then.
Stay sane,

The ultimate suspension system.....

Ah, exactly what I was looking for. Symptoms typically present on heelside turns, the result being that ugly, straight-legged, butt out, mummy-armed contortion that makes my eyes water when I see it. Great description. Now I have to make sure I'm not doing it!

Without being too snarky, you might want to check out the thread you started, first time out and some?'s, last Feb. 20th about this same board.

I will tell you that it is a very fast stick, and well mannerd, but you better be paying attention, 'cause it will get away from you right quick if you don't . Had one and rode the snot out of it for a few years. Launched me into the woods once too

Ride needed from Denver airport to Aspen and back
in Share Accomodations and Carpool!

Hi Tabby,
You could always ride back with Heinz and I if you need to. It may be a bit tight with gear and luggage. Consider it a fall back if nothing else comes through.
