big mario

Ken just got himself in a jam and couldn't find a way out, he seemed genuinly contrite, and a bit embarrassed. glad to have been of assistance, mario

D.t, myself and at least one other are meeting sunday morning at the elk meadow lot off of evergreen parkway at 9am sunday if any one is interested in doing a reaaallllllllllllyyyyyy looooooooooonnnnnnngggggg attempt a summiting bergan peak by bicycle. mario

While I was still swinging a hammer, I really enjoyed festering splinters, espescially when you found the perfect place to push and they would squirt right out. I am however, easily amused. mario

I could be persuaded, what time are ya thinking? Bergan peak death march?:p mario

Do like I do, and remove it, or use some bungee cords! mario

Don't you mean pushing/panting/puking shoe?

Bluebird and mario endo's, minor fleshwounds Ac did the mtb equivlent of going to the top of Ruthies for the first time in hardboots and surviving. Derek was the only one that didn't leave a lung on the trail. life is good. mario

directionally challanged, my first sentance in the directions should have read: Coming from the west...so if your heading towards Red Rocks, turn around and head the other way.... now back to our regularly scheduled programing mario

Well it's still riding, just on a different conveyence. Sunday 9:00am at apex, from I-70 west, morrison exit, left at the light for about a mile or so, past the lafarge gravel plant. There will be a left turn lane for heretige square, turn here. There are 2 parking lots, go to the lower lot, there will be signs for the casino buses. Park at the far end of the lot, the northwest corner. see you there!

in the next day or two, let me and I will get them for you. mario

see you at 9 sunday morning, I'm thinking apex will be a much better ride. Directions: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?p=199729#post199729 mario

beer is good

You have more shoe options and you don't have to worry about falling on your a$$ when you put your foot down at a light. Check preformance bikes for helmets, shoes and pedals, there are deals to be had, but support your LBS for your bike purchase. I second the redline, great entry level bikes reasonably priced. Upgrade to discs if you are going to ride any steeper stuff offroad, much easier to stop and you dont have to worry about heating up the rims and popping a tube mario

xt/100mm marzocchi equiped 18/19" supergo access hardtail mit um thudbuster seatpost and time pedals if the bonti don't work. Barb, you are welcome any time, let us know mario

Just keep us updated and we will get it figured out! We tend stick to general trail riding with some technical/rolling trials do that section over till you make it or strike out goof off type riding. Sometimes there is blood, mostly mine. mario

I just loaded the first BAD album onto my zune and am listening to it as I type. Only liked the first two, not a fan of the later tripe. And yes, I am a huge clash fan

That's about what I weighed when I was your age... I second what Ink and Gecko said about getting a custom set built up. I really like mavic rims, and though I am talking about mountain stuff, I think the durability holds across the board. The 519's on the Heckler were built by my local bike shop, years ago and they are still rollin' round and true, and we know that I definately aint no petite flower, though I still like to think of myself as one. I have also had good luck right around the corner from Bola at excel sports, They built another set of 519's for me back in aught 2 that are doing just fine on my hardtail. They had been on my Blur prior to me splodin' that frame, so they saw a fair amount of abuse. Check out Colorado cyclist down in the springs, since you are down there every day any way. I like Hugi and Chris King hubs, though the Kings might be a little heavy. Rode the Heckler tonight, it was gooood. lets ride mario ps I bunny hop @ 235lbs, I know how to abuse wheels, shocks, frames.....

Looking foward to riding with the master of flow next winter!

He gets around:p Any news Curtis?

Anti inflamatory of your choice and ice mario

I was making turns with you at lovey last weekend after talking about it since SES 07 while you were limping around with that stupid fibula, and less than a week later you are having brain surgery.:( When you get out of this, let me know, and I will try my hand at that cold smoked steak ( your choice of cut!) that we talked about in aspen. Good luck, heal well, and heal quickly my friend! mario

Done, and very nicely done. As someone whom has done a fair amont of wood work in the past you have my permission to pat yourself on the back:biggthump, reminds me of a logan earth ski mario

I'm done, time for skateboards and bicycles! What,am I like fourteen or nearly 45 mario

I know, my flat top is as least as grey as my multi day stubble:D Multiple thanks: To the rest of the lovey crew, for being there and helping me after the noggin' nockin' I took back in Dec. D.T., Ink, and Pete, for all of the advice and critiques through the past few seasons, and helping me finally get it, this was a huge season for me. D, and the Salesman, I truly appreciate all the help with gear this year Softcarver for the sarcasm, someone has to try to keep me in line Aarron, if you make it out this winter, bring a stick and some 02, that was a fun day AC, LLR and OA, for taking something away from my near endless blathering, even if it was only a chuckle Monodude, for sharing your stoke and passion for the carve, and for being just a touch more freaky than the rest of us!::p Thor, Snowman, Tpalka, Mr.Winters, Bluebird, Mopet, Metjeep, Ice, Fin, Angie and everyone else who left the balmy comfort of their home mountains to brave the rather severe conditions at lovey to cross trenches with us Be safe all, watch out for heat stroke:p and I'll see you in October if not sooner! mario

See you all there tomorrow! mario
