Well, one out of three ain’t bad
Who’s going? What you riding? When we leaving? I know I can’t breathe steam on the tails of the freeriders, but I can ride the hell out of some 33.3 miles for shizzle.

debriefin’?
anyone thirsty? howbout a $2/barley pop tomorrow at the Basin? I’ll be there by 18:30, and on the trail home before dark. surely everyone’s got some high adventure to lie about.
Ours include glow-in-the-dark frisbee sessions on the Black Rock Playa, super excellent beer and sandwich breaks wayway above the Playa in the Black Rock Range, dace spotting in High Rock Canyon, watching rattle snakes at close range, and a visit to Planet X…
Japhy rider.

Floating Along
“The bad idea had now become an ill advised plan.”
Fitz Cahall
Just listened to The Dirtbag Diaries, which I learned about on The Cleanest Line. This is something you’ll enjoy.
It reminded me of a silly adventure of my own I embarked on the summer after high school when a friend and I floated the Kern River from Heart Park to CSUB through the metropolis of Bakersfield, CA on semi inflated sno-tubes. It involved a bit of walking around dams and sections too low to float, sometimes barefoot sometimes with one sandal because Jerry forgot his.
What we saw was a whole different Bako. Not any better though.

Hey Kids,
It seems that while i was on the road i missed alot of the fun to be had in our short spring season. thought i’d share a few pics from my misadventures across the Northwest. Originally, my plan was to head into Oregon and ski as many of the Cascades as possible. The plan slowly fell apart and i was left to my own devices. Snow quality and differing goals with my partner where the major reasons we decided to reevaluate. below are a few shots from the travels.
Our conversation got started with this e-mail:

I get out of the shower this morning and…Mmmm…that bacon smell…oh that smell..thought of you [guys]. Just thought I’d share.

The Bacon Strip Presents: PeaCakes annual Bike to Work Day Mountainside Pancake Party. Bike To Work Day, Friday May, 18 2007, Reno, NV,
One year ago a man had a vision: To put his three loves together, early morning mountain biking, wearing tight pants, and pancake eating. For those us brave enough to follow him into the wild it was truly inspiring. But for him, hauling a stove, camp gear, water, and food by XtraCycle was brutal.

Poedunkers, BikeProject-ers, Bacon Strippers, and all ye lovers of Free Range Pancakes,
Here’s the skinny on tomorrow’s beautiful, magical, maple-covered ride:
ULTIMATE GOAL: Meet atop Peavine @ 6:30 a.m.
PANCAKE SHANGRI-LA: Can be found if you . . . Go to the first set of microwave towers. They’re the ones tucked into the mesquite, off to the right of the main summit road (they’re the smaller, more discreet ones just shy of the true summit).
