|   Sighting the New Jersey Woohoo Bird in Pisgah | M-U-M
May 20, 2002 10:23 AM | | Braving forecasted rain, temperatures just above 60 and strong headwinds we took to one of our favorite trails to give our Northern guest (known to most here as mtber) a little taste of Pisgah. It was also a chance for me to try out the new Marin in As Is condition. The bike felt great and I felt great. My only complaint was the tires. Those 1.95 wee things have got to go! Here are a few photos from Saturday.
Hollis - impressing the hikers with his lumberjack skills.

May 20, 2002 11:10 AM | | I couldnt believe how bad the weather was, it sucked. I froze my tail off (really)! No way the temp was anywhere near 60° Saturday. The trails sucked...too many waterbars...too many rocks...too many Steeper Than it Looks switchbacks...lots of slick roots...too many happy people with sh*t eatin' Perma-Grins®...see ya guys next weekend at the oh so Dangerous Tsali? ;o)
Even the cheap Mexican food sucked...I could barely eat the 2nd Chimichanga. |
| yeah...I have heard... | fireboy

| Hey MUM, | NCBiker
May 20, 2002 5:55 PM | | I saw you on Sunday at Dupont. I was in that herd of bikers that had that Northerner you have a picture of. I was on the polished Hammerhead w/ the guy on the Marin you talked to.
Small world. Awesome weather and riding. |

| Pisgah "SUCKS" | mtber
May 21, 2002 6:41 AM | | Thats Right! 28hrs of driving, 1600+ miles on that green B'ville. That's just the car. Then a climb to 4,000+ ft from a 2,000ft trail head on some flat incline for 7 miles. Then come to find out someone gives massages (Rub down HUH) and I can't even get the Downhill death grip marks rubbed out of my palms, let alone a massage. Those death grip marks must of been from them there water crossings and carrying the bike(LOL). Did I mention the bent Raceface chain ring, Crank or Bottom bracket. I haven't figured it out yet. I didn't even notice it until I was in the parking lot to Slickrock the next day. The views there suck too. I must say though, the people were nice. All 18 that I met in two days of rid'n. I didn't even get a free T-SHIRT. The Harvest bar was good though. Psali here I come. |

May 21, 2002 8:07 AM | | You think that was bad, I did an 8 hour adventure race Saturday out of the NOC just southeast of you guys. Paddling a canoe the last two hours of eight sucks. |
