Sorry boyz n girlz. I guess since Scott's wrist is broken, he's probably not in the mood to ride, let alone type up a ride request. :haha:

Me on the other hand? It's my boy's 1st birthday tomorrow, so I'm out. I just realized nobody's put up any options for the ride this week, so I thought I'd chime in.

I've been hearing a lot about the Bobsled lately, but, it's up to you folks. Sorry to miss you this week.

Sorry for the late notice. So far it is Me, ride-on, punchking and greyhair biker headed to crest/mill-d. We will meet at the mill-d trailhead at 5:30 for a carpool up to the crest. We will need to push it a little to beat the fading light.

Meet us there! http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/mill-d-n.htm

:2thumbs: looks like I am heading down for the ride....last minute I know, but I'll be there. I'll meet ya all at millD - isnt that the meeting of the glaciers parking area? Anyway you slice it I'll be easy to spot in my 88 Dodge Ram 150 LE - two tone tan/gold with 'greyhair biker repair' signs on the doors :mrgreen:

If anyone is interested, I am going to be riding Squaw Peak tomorrow around 5:30. My plan of attack is the drive up/ride down method. If anyone wants to go, lemme know.

...funny thing is I dont remember anyone actually clearing the whole spine without stopping...at least no one wrecked and everyone we rode with ended up riding it out. I really like the spine but I wish I had the DH rig to go over it :nod:

Jared and I are planning on doing the pipeline on Monday morning if you want to join us. My wife would drop us off at the upper pipeline and just pure downhill from there :2thumbs:

:lol8: really, I about went over the bars....but with catlike reflexes I was able to stop :haha: I took the wrong line...a little too high, and stopped right in the middle but huffed it up a little higher and took off again...had to catch up with fourtycal :nod: I wish someone could film us insanely flying down the millD trail though...THAT one is incredible! logs & roots & rocks across the trail all the way down...just lean back and let go of the brakes...good thing I remembered body armor cause I hit alot of branches and things all the way down!
