I tried stopping, Haha. But skidding with slicks does nothing on a wet surface, at all. -.-

We rode on the trails, but it was soaking wet. It was a little too dark to tell the difference between the wet and dry spots, even with lights. Going to the doctor tomorrow to check up on my arm, I believe it's fractured. Can't twist my arm, or rotate my hand, at all. Keep us posted |

Will do. Hopefully it's not as bad as it feels it is.

It's going to be funny when they tell you to fuck off. But really, bring a notepad so you look more official.

You just gotsta make sure the guy In front hasn't crashed >•< ...the down hills is what's soooooooooper sketchy when wet, or whenever..I went yesterday,I guess a couple of minutes after the office closed so I took the coursewhile the sun was still kinda out. Way more exciting in the dark but still gnar. I couldn't handle a turn so I rode in the lovely rocks for a good couple seconds before I fell....

ATTENTION guys who go on the TPC ride: There is a much easier way to sneak into the golf course at around mile 3 on the map above. At Vegas and Rampart, get onto the the sidewalk on the side of the large mansions. Head north on said sidewalk for about .15 mile and follow the sidewalk down the hill to the left that leads under rampart. Right before path hits the tunnel under rampart, you will see a bar of the fence gone. Slip through there.

Just got home from UMC. I've got a hairline fracture. They said it'll take 2 weeks to heal.. I can't even grip my handlebars.. Won't be riding for a while. Damnit. >.<

umm, try like ~700' up to town center. 1600' in less than 7mi (with almost 1mi being on nearly flat rampart) is almost RR loop steep. vegas dr and alta are absolutely nowhere near as steep as the loop. i would know, i rode the loop 4 times yesterday.

Not bragging. I just dig ride stats.
Okay, I'm bragging. IDGAF. I'm one of the few cyclists in town that has completed a Sufferfest.

Try climbing Mt. Evans on a road bike  It was fucking awesome. The descent took both of my tires to the threads.  |
