The Ride:Grayville
The Group:TTT(TirelessTubelessTodd),Garterbelt/Rookie(Could we settle this name
dispute soon),Rickshaw, Web Mistress I think,, lets change it to Trooper for
today, and Brick.
Ride time 5:30 we leave promptly @ 5:50 after bike assembly. Early quote "TT
those tires look pretty worn on the sidewalls!" "Yeah I just bought new ones
today but didn't put them on yet" 5 min into the ride blown sidewall! On trail
repair and it lasts the rest of the ride. 1st log ride most try and fail
miserably TTT finally cleans. Onward to holie grail trail lots of ramps and
bridges and many log rides. rickshaw decides to knock down the safety tree
because it's not extreme enough(he used his bike and body to do it, now that's
extreme!) I found out this is his 1st year on a bike..GB and me clean big bridge
then onto bigger bridges where's the up? off the hidden trail I think long and
fun with a death drop roller at the end GB and me clean TTTT is having dabbing
problems must be the new clipless or fear of commitment. rickshaw rides but
fails to drop...next year maybe. Trooper walks around. Down to some steep roller
with log endo at bottom, noone endos another roller rickshaw tries the flying
walenda I missed it but heard the tarzan yell aaaarrrrgghhhh cough cough
ughh..Back to deja vu trails trooper gets to watch me crash a few times on to
the teeter made for trucks everyone cleans. Finally getting dark GB quote "how
long are we going tonight", must be worried about the HID lasting. Lots more
riding and looking for the "right" trail.GB quote "where's the road". more
trails that looked familiar drops and ups and very little hills my kind of
ride,GB quote "how far to the road" must have left his curling iron on. Down
someones driveway "oopps I think we missed a turn" TTTTT, duh. more getting lost
who has a map Rickshaw yeah! where are we noone knows damn..keep riding finally
the road GB and Trooper depart the rest start for some more when we do a power
check Rickshaw is fearing a black out, he loves night riding but not dark riding
we're down to 2. I know let's get lost! Just 1 wrong turn up a big ass hill,
wrong hill TT "boy this looks different at night". Nice down back on track
longer than I expected but flat. I got lost at the end when we stopped TTTTT
says we have to go left ok I go left silly me, so I bushwhack along the river
for far to long until I notice I'm alone. TTTTTT thought I was looking to crap
no said recap.
Rating 3 bowls of re-fried slugs and 1 screaming pond duck.
One of my new favorite rides, good game, nice game, ass swats
