Get your Ride On!
Bike to Work Week is happening next week, which means it’s time for Pancakes
on Peavine!! Those of you who joined in last year know that it was a
quality morning, complete with flapjacks, hot joe, good company, and great
riding.
Here’s the general format: May 18th, early Friday morning. MTB up to a
groovy little overlook about 2/3rds of the way up the mountain. Start time
is of your choosing for the climb up Peavine–the only set time is to get to
the overlook by 6:30 a.m.
Once there, we’ll fire up the stoves and enjoy a hearty stack of flapjacks
and fresh java while watching the sun rise. Then it’s pack up the stuff,
finish the climb to the top, and drop down the backside via the aspen grove
singletrack, over to the top of Cow and: Voilà! 30 or so miles of riding
(depending on where you start and where you finish), 3,000′ of climbing,
fresh hotcakes with the sunrise . . . all before work.
Last year, camping was involved. It’s true, we had good times. I’m not
sure I’ll be doing that this year, but I’m happy to help you out with
details if you’re so inclined.
Please let me know if you’re interested and we’ll figure out details like
who’s carrying the pancake mix, syrup, coffee, etc…Oh yeah . . . it’s
BYOPFM. Bring Your Own Plate Fork and MugIf you forget, you’re using the dog bowl, which apparently is ok with Huck Tater.
And remember: Never underestimate the magical power of doing completely
senseless things with like-minded people in beautiful places

If you miss the launch, follow Poeville road up towards the peak. After you come around on the south side of the ridge, follow your nose - it will tell you where the bacon is.

And one more thing: If you can’t make it, feel the virtual love by playing one of the fine Peavine-themed games at:

I will have to take a pass. I’ll be in the Spring Mountains looking for little bitty spring snails and finishing up some other field work. Hope you all have a grand time on the pancake excursion.
Anyone ready to start talkin’ rendezvous times? Will be riding from mi casa, but should be rolling through Keystone parking lot at 5 a.m. Look for the guy will chamois cream oozing out of his tightshorts. Real chamois cream, not the brown kind that some roadies like to use.
I’ll roll from home @ 4:30 and meet you @ Keystone. Unless McD talks me in to camping out.
Do you live in the same square mile as all the other Patagucci dirtbags? Cause I got to go right through there.
Just remember, if you rub it in for more than three strokes, you’re playing with yourself.

Ick.
Oh yeah, you axed a question n’ shit . . . no, I’m currently couch surfin up by Rancho. If memory serves, Old SW is where you’re talking about finding that concentration of Gooch folks. They tend to cluster like Clingons around Uranus.
That’s SWEET that you’re gonna be there! McD is a true stud for thinking camping.
I got 2 lbs of bacon and 2 sticks o butter left over from today…

Mmm . . . bacon. I’ve got a monster tub of the finest Grade B Maple goodness (darker color, more maple flavor . . . oh yeah). Grabbing a sack-o-flapjack mix this week. oh yeah, and luv. Have some, will bring, but the more the better, so throw a little in your bag.
