quad damage10/06/08SS. Nice ride with the gang. Saw jorts guy again on Blackstar. Pretty good day to be out riding. 
Mark W.10/05/08Quite a grind with the gang: troy, brian, mark, jason, andrew,ryan. Ryan and jason are studs on singlespeeds! No views due to cloud cover, chilly up top. 
Winger10/04/084900. Good ride, guys. This should hurt more tomorrow. 
Hippydude10/04/08Good, fairly long ride w/ Mark W. Thinkfast, Blind lemon,Rushak, Winger,and Quad damage. 
ThinkFast10/04/08Good times with Mark W. Hippydude, Blind lemon,Rushak, Winger,and quad damage. A few of us took the singletrack at the bottom of Eagle to avoid crossing the nice lady's property. Good thing, she has built a gazebo, that you have to go through, to discourage using that point of exit. 
rushak10/04/08Fun ride with the Saturday gang. Cleared all the climbs with Rita. Eagle is a bit overgrown. Hermit was there??? I rode Rita in honor of his absence.

Jr Munoz07/23/08great time today with mr 1890,gasman,and evilbawb ! the evil guy and I went on to eagle road and encountered (almost hit ) a large 4 pointer deer at the very bottom of eagle in the ladies yard actually ! quite a site up close and just a great time with a awesome young man and great rider ! thanks for the company guys hr only bummer )~: 
MCAFS06/18/08FUN HOT RIDE. TEMPS WERE IN THE 90'S. WENT UP BLACKSTAR, DOWN SKYLINE, UP EAGLE AND BACK TO THE START. A LITTLE TRICKY FINDING THE BOTTOM OF EAGLE ROAD, LOOKS LIKE A RESIDENT HAS IT BLOCKED WITH SHED. 
Hermit06/13/08Wanted to do a long ride and certainly got my wish. Poor Doug crashed on Main Divide, flatted at the Eagle Road turn-off, and sheared off his left pedal on the road between Eagle and Skyline. Somehow he managed to climb all of Skyline with only his right pedal and a small metal nub sticking out of the left crank. At least it was a nice night. Nice meeting you, Big D.D. 
Winger06/13/08Long night ride. Not Doug's night. He fell on Main Divide & knocked his handlebars and shifter out of alignment. Then he flatted at the Eagle junction. Finally, his egg beater pedal sheared off just before the skyline climb so he had to ride it without clipping in & on a little axle nub. Good to meet Big DD, and Matt gets the usual props for doing it on the SS. 
House06/12/08Nightmare ride. More problems than I care to list. Thanks Matt and Andrew for hangin' in there with me. 
agitate189004/16/08great day to ride.talked to a retired man,who had the biggest grin on his face when he passed me coming down blackstar.good reminder as to how fortunate i am,thanks hp.we had a couple of 3 stooges moments on the way back..thanks for the ride ben... 
Hermit04/02/08Long ride with Winger and Quad Damage. We took it pretty easy and yakked it up most of the way. Was bitterly cold on the way back. My legs are still lifeless from last weekend. Need to rest more. Garmin lost its signal about 13 miles in, so no GPS this time. 
Winger04/02/084900 Night ride w/ Matt & Ryan. Longest night ride to date. Quite cold on the way down. Matt played matchmaker w/ the geckos. 
quad damage04/02/08Night ride with Andrew and Matt. Very cold in some spots. Longest night ride to date. 
aword4you02/02/08Good ride. Ran into Madre and CA, and Padre. Fast beeshes. Climbing up Skyline got me. Blackstar was good. Then it got cooold. Then I was hot, then coool. Jacket on, too hot. Then cold, but I was good with all my gear. Then too hot. 
quad damage12/17/07Good group ride with Troy, Mark, Mark, Andrew, Matt and Jason. Longest ride on the SS to date. Had to walk a few climbs. Made quite a few sections I didn't think I would make. First time on Eagle. Cleared Skyline, hooray! 
Hermit12/16/07Rode this yesterday morning with Troy, Andrew, Jason, and Ryan. I guess Mark and Mark wanted some time alone together during their out and back ride. ;-) Main Divide is in really good shape between Beek's and Eagle. I think the lack of motor vehicle traffic makes a big difference. We could tell by the ice puddles there have been some VERY cold nights up on Main Divide recently. 
Winger12/16/07Another fun Saturday ride with the group. Blackstar was freezing. Tons of tire tracks in the now-dry Blackstar clay from all the rain riders. Highlight was watching this tractor roll a giant rolling pin on a cable down the mtn to crush vegitation. 
rushak12/15/07Early AM ride with Matt, Ryan, Troy, Andrew, Mark and Mark. Started out pretty chilly, but warmed up nicely once the sun was about. Good training route with the ultimate payoff of descending Blackstar!....yippy!! 
ThinkFast12/15/07Great ride with Matt, Ryan, Jason, Andrew, Mark W and Chamley. Good to put in another long one with the gang. Kuddos to Ryan for doing this on his SS.
