What you guys did at reiter, going to the wall, is more difficult. She'll do fine on all the trails up there. There are so many people going, if there are any sections that are tricky, you'll know before you get there. If there is anything she can't get up or down, others will get her past it.

 

Thanks for the info, maybe I will bring her if she wants to come.

The key is to <u>stay on the trail!</u> I flipped because my right front wheel got off the trail and I could not hold my Vinson on the trail after that. I was not even going very fast. The trails at Capitol Forest can be narrow and include some switch backs. It is very important to ride only at a speed you are comfortable with and not try to keep up with the speed demons. HappaRap and I ended up hanging back at a slower speed after losing Dinger and Cowboy. As for difficulty, it was not overly difficult. It is a bit technical at times because some trails are narrow and there a fair share of wrist-bustin' roots. Keep it under control and everyone should be just fine. With a big group, like is going, it will naturally break up into different skill levels and speeds on the trails. HappaRap is a good trail boss for stopping at intersections and trail crossovers and waiting. Even the speed demons were very patient during the 30 or so minutes it took to put my quad back on the trail and catch up to them.

 

But didnt you put er up on the side in that first switch back cummin up to the gas line? hmm i have there before. was bein an idiot though. whats new right [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] as for waiting at intersections.

Guys, I am having a little trouble with my work schedule. What time do you think we'll get done on saturday at RC?

I have an hour and a half drive back to Seattle, so I have to plan accordingly.

 

I might be in for a ride on Saturday. How cold and rainy is it supposed to be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]?? Anyone from up north have room for another bike and girly???? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Raj, Come for the morning (looks like a 9 - 9:30 start after an 8Am breakfast) we normally break the ride into a morning run, sometimes 2, then lunch and a 3rd ride, or however it best works. Alot of times the 1st run is short so we can come back and pick up any stragglers that arrive late at the staging area

then if you need to go early, you can make that decision after lunch

 

We operate differntly. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] but its all riding. when riding there i have done a 40 mile loop everytime wether towards port first or towards waddel first. Im lookin for some people for the marathon ride a lil later this summer. I wanna go for everytrail in one day.Maybe a figure 8 northrim to porter molly porter back, grreenlin 8 i think over to waddel up the 40 and back around. should be round 80 or so miles fill up and eat lunch. gonna be a gruling pace.
