Rode post canyon yesterday and it was dusty. no big crashes and no dogs to run into. we rode with fat larry's friends from southern California...very decked out with the bling bikes and the blin gear. they looked very fast and i'm sure they are fast, but the only guy that jumped his bike was this guy aaron....his girlfriend jill was also throwing down fairly well for a girl.

I am finally starting to feel comfortable on the new shore frame. Seemed like every ride out I was on a different fork or different frame. I don't think I could be the type that own and rides multiple big bikes, there are too many small differences in the way the bikes feel both on and off the ground. The 888RC2X is feeling like it's almost broke in, two rides on it now. I just need to replace the garbage FSA Pig headset that is in the bike right now. It creeks and moans like a stinkin you know what.

I know I always say this every summer out at post canyon, but we need a little bit of rain during the week to calm down the dust and ball bearings that cover all the trails. There was nine of us total, one of the girls in the group had to wait down at the bottom with all their bikes on the first run...like four hours!!! yikes, she was pretty pissed when we got to the bottom of the hill. I think she was happy when she saw all the trails and stunts once she got out on the second run. After riding all day at post these guys were heading up to Seattle area to stay the night and hit up Whistler first thing Monday morning. I bet Whistler conditions are awesome right now!

Until the next ride.....Basura Manyana!
