one of my committee members, yep, he’s a Doktor, forwarded me this link… i think it’s almost Tuesday. anyone up for holding council over a $2 pints?
the good folks at the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship are looking to get a fun cross event going up the foothills. Dec 7 and 8 are races near Bullards Bar, to be followed by a Trail Daze event. i know about as much about cyclocross as i do about off-road unis, but i do know the SBTS crew puts on a mean event, likes beer, and rides hard and loves their trails. here’s a link to their page
well, i really really really hope this dry fall/preseason is about to get snowed out. i used to spend the weekend after Thanksgiving skiing, or climbing. this year it was trail riding. this Turkey Day Huck T, Oso, and I got in a nice ride up on Peavine - aside from being ambushed by shooters. on Friday, the Shredder, Oso and I hit up FS73 from Tahoe City to the TRT and back south past Painted Rock and the shale and “basket ball sized rocks” back to the trailhead. it was so nice. everyone we met was pleasant. that almost never happens near Galena. Saturday, HT and Shredder, Oso, and I hit some more TRT from the Meadows to the south and back. it was scary warm, beautiful, and very quiet. i finally realized the uncanny silence was mostly just the lack of motorboats out on Tahoe. absurd how those things can effect such a large airshed. finally, yesterday, after some dorking around with work stuff, I split for a solo single ride up Keystone, up TBS, down towards the Luge but veered south on the bonus loop (which shreds!!!) and back to the hippy cairn and on down to the top of the N trail and left into Evans. i finished that ride up with the new connector from Evans to Keystone, which was pleasant. Dale and a few other fellas were out working on the bit of trail west of Keystone. cheers to you guys. good work. thumbs up.
happy Monday,
Japhy rider

Nice, almost gratuitous boosom pic!
What’s this Galena bashing?!?!? I’ve only run into one grouchy hiker there, like 2 years ago…
As for the turkey break. I ate more than I rode. Unfortunately…
Ans if you don’t want to drive to sierra buttes for trail work the Poedunks are doing work almost every weekend here.

Looks like the perfect color lenses for the imminent face-deep pow-pow awaiting the faithful DP’ers!
Now, if I wanted a rose colored lens, what type of beer would I need to track down?
Another idea - how about using a pair of tall-boy bottles to make some jumbo Elton John-style fruit goggles?
All good ideas.
And about tonight: I have to be downtown until 7, then should go home to let the dog out and by that time might be too lazed out to do the ride to GBB. BUT Trivia night is going down @ the Tap House, or I have beer and ski movies @ my house. Smella’s OOT so it could be a regular sausage fest.

Tuesday nights at the Basin - it’s an institution. it’s affordable, and it’s also where you can run into friends you haven’t seen in for ever. not since, like, last Tuesday!
peruse the Urban Spectacles craftsman’s website and i think you’ll find those are real lenses. how about getting the photochromatic lenses, or whatever they’re called, that get darker in the sun light and less dark with artificial light. ooo, maybe make the frames out of beer stein bottoms (or 24oz mugs) for super coverage.
“if one more person asks to try my beer goggles on, i will punt something!”
that’s what i’m talkin about

Japhy,
Sounds like GBB is the ticket, the guy who could best rebuild that Reba isn’t gonna make it. I may see you there later.
