|  I love my new Camelback | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 7:32 AM | | The Blowfish converts from the size of the Mule to the size of the Hawg with a zip.
I ripped a little hole in it on the ride though. That sucks.

|  Those little white pills... | Bkrgrl Sep 26, 2002 7:56 AM | | look like X-tra strength Vicodin ;) |
|  So what did this collection weigh? (nm) | wg Sep 26, 2002 9:32 AM | | |
|  13lbs with 100oz of water. nm | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 10:06 AM | | |
|  U need TP for all that food (nm) | Titan Sep 26, 2002 9:37 AM | | |
|  Kyle and Shaun, at the bridge at Coyote Hot Springs | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 7:36 AM | | Little do they know...

|  that jacket didn't last too long did it... (nm) | Uncle Brian Sep 26, 2002 7:55 AM | | |
|  The climb up Jackson Trail... | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 7:40 AM | | ...is long and hard that early in the morning. I was slow, and didn't take any pictures until near the top. This is around 8:15.
|
|  The group at the intersection of Jackson and Wasno Roads | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 7:45 AM | | This is around 8:30.
|
|  Damm I look happy. nm. | Paul J Sep 26, 2002 8:45 AM | | |
|  Yes, *very* nice pic! [nm] | Bikebreath Sep 26, 2002 11:27 AM | | |
|  Mmmm... Bacon! I've actually had wild boar at a restaurant... | Biking Viking Sep 26, 2002 7:59 AM | | ...in Poland. It tastes good. It's like pork with a gamey touch and much leaner than the standard piggy.

|  Brian and Kyle - intersection of Coit and Mahoney Meadows Roads | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:02 AM | | Taken from the same spot as the spider pictures.
|
|  Derek on the way down to China Hole | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:07 AM | | In the background is Pine Ridge and the climb out of China Hole. You can see part of the trail.
|
|  Jackass Peak as seen from China Hole | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:08 AM | | Facing north
|
|  Brian and Derek find the missing shades.... | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:12 AM | | ...Derek is happy once again.
|
|  What're you doing down there Kyle? | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:15 AM | | To be fair, I've inspected that area myself. I've also still never cleaned this little section.
|
|  Brian and Paul both made it. | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:19 AM | | Sorry for the bad photoshop.
|
|  Kyle climbing Manzanita Point Road | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:20 AM | | I've never climbed this road before without looking forward to the car.
|
|  Didn't get any pictures during the HQ break. | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:26 AM | | Here's the group, on the road again after about a half-hour break at hq. Everyone restocked on water, but I don't think anyone took advantage of the power bars and powerade they sell there. This was about 11:30. The picture is facing southwest, with Gilroy in the valley in the background.
|
|  Stay tuned for Part II. nm | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 8:27 AM | | |
|  Will Part II have | Paul J Sep 26, 2002 9:49 AM | | the Middleridge descent pics? |
|  Great pics! Almost makes Gilroy look inviting. | LW Sep 26, 2002 9:03 AM | | I went to Gilroy for work a few years ago in December. Wanted so badly to get out and ride Coe, but was chained to work :-( Gilroy will be forever stamped in my mind as a hellhole because of it, but these pics almost changed that. I'll have to get out there sometime on vacation, I guess!
Thanks for the tour. |
|  Are U serios?? | Chainslap Sep 26, 2002 9:54 AM | | Whazup guys? Im gonna kiss your sweet tails now cuz u wuz out all day and on one trial there wuza rock on the ground and that idiot fell of his bike. comon u guyz show me some rad hucks or urban and ride like your strait men not gay XC ass kissers. Like if I do yardwork all day or sit on a beach swillin beer entil its gets dark i feelike bragin about it on the net! |
|  No hucks here Farm Fresh Egg Boy. | Paul J Sep 26, 2002 11:16 AM | | For the next Coe Epic you'll get 11,000ft of climbing within 70 miles. Bring your 65 degree head angle 35lb hucker along next time. Sorry no shuttles. Bring some good walking shoes.
On a note. Kyle,(the idiot you say that fell off his bike) is an exceptional SS'er. Feel free to join him and Francis on the infamous 3 loop Demo grunt.
Hooked on Phonics? I can help. |
|  I'll bet $100 he couldn't make it. | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 12:15 PM | | Seriosly. |
|  thazz an easy benjamin | Chainslap Sep 26, 2002 12:24 PM | | whan are u guys ready. i live in the Bay area - no big deal to drive down 2 coe fora ride. 200 if i do it in less than 9 hours? gimme a month to train and i'll show u lazy bastids |
|  A month...LOL | fourarm Sep 26, 2002 12:45 PM | | A month to train, that is laughable. The only way you are ever going to see Mississippi Lake is from an airplane. Maybe you should spend the month learning to read and write. |
|  I can read what you write an you understan what i wirte so | Chainslap Sep 26, 2002 12:50 PM | | shutup already. how much you bet on me getting to that stinkin lake? |
|  You CAN get there... | fourarm Sep 26, 2002 1:11 PM | | Maybe you can get there, I don't really care. But you will never pedal back to Hunting Hollow under your own power. Pick a hot day for your adventure and plan on staying the night out there. |
|  Hook, line, sinker. | Chainslap Sep 26, 2002 1:57 PM | | Good thing you didn't put any money on that. Things are not always the way they seem.
Hope to ride that Coe ride with you and Paul J once I'm 100% recovered from my injury.
Fast Eddy will owe me $100 when we are done. |
|  I stand by it... | fourarm Sep 26, 2002 2:15 PM | | I stand by my statment. After witnessing your bonk at Tahoe I think you will be camping at Miss. lake. The thing about Coe is that there is never an easy way back to the car and PaulJ and I will not be donating any Gu to the BV charitable trust this time. |
|  Farm Fresh= Grant West? | Paul J Sep 26, 2002 3:06 PM | | Ex-semipro DHer from Belmont?
If not nevermind.
Two things. If you ride to Mississippi and back by yourself---fine. As for the next Coe Epic, There is a pace to be met. Anyone can do the ride if they take all day. This ride will be done at a certain pace. Can't hang?...........Then don't bother. I ain't waiting all f#cken day. |
|  Paul J = A little slow? Read Fourarm's post carefully. nm | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 3:08 PM | | |
|  Didn't take a lot of time - and besides, going from... | Chainslap Sep 26, 2002 3:30 PM | | ...12 hours of riding per week to five-six does give you a lot of time. There will be less of this crap as the riding picks up.
Too bad I needed three attempts before I managed to hook someone I know.
BV |
|  Another thing. I blew my cover in the SS forum, but... | Biking Viking Sep 26, 2002 3:40 PM | | ...none of you noticed. Dealing with a dual personality is tough.
BV |
|  Maybe nobody cared....think about it......nm | Ebo Sep 26, 2002 6:04 PM | | |
|  I was restraining myself. nm | Fast Eddy Sep 26, 2002 3:41 PM | | |
|  I'm glad you think my tail is sweet, but ... | Uncle Brian Sep 26, 2002 11:55 AM | | it really doesn't need kissing right now. Thanks anyway and have a nice day. I'm serios.
Brian |
