Will be fun. I will be taking my Hightower this time. If you plan on taking your bike, I would think about protecting the down tube as I am thinking it will get scratched from the lift.

I was considering renting a downhill bike from them but have heard they don't really maintain them all that well.. Don't know of my little 150/135 travel will cut it..But I am upgrading to 203mm brakes

I rented the last time I was there and you are correct in that the rentals are not very well maintained. If you do rent, make sure they set the sag and the brakes work. Also bring a multitool as you may want to adjust the brake levers position as you go along. Quite different from your usual trail riding.

We checked how much travel I was using doing the green and blue trails and I think I used about 100mm but that prolly had more to do with it not being set up correctly.
I spoke with another Hightower owner who rides his at Creek and he felt that it was adequate... but then again... he is only 150lbs or so.

@Dajerseyrat rent at Ridetopia before the Park, seems they give a damn about their bikes and customers

I'll know for sure in a week, but we're registered for 3 school visits that weekend. My excuse is my kids, Kevin's just a vegetarian.... If I can make it, I'm demanding a full OOS attendance.

Any update on whether you can lead at CR?

I think you are better off renting one of their beatup bikes and beating it up more, versus beating up your own bike. I wouldn't recommend buying one of their used bikes though.

Maybe we can have multiple groups again. Keep both LewMo and Waway and see how it plays out thru out the week
What day and time do you want to propose for Waway?
We have LewMo for Sunday @ 8AM
Heck.... might as well put down CR for Sunday @7AM for @qclabrat


Easier because its not technical but will give you a good work out

Correct at Saturday. Check the 1st page of this thread cuz going forward I am going to try to be diligent on this.
So... If you see anyone with questions regarding our rides, you can also refer them to the 1st page as well. If its not on there, it just means we have not completed our discussion and still pending.

You are wrong, @Mtbdog is right, Saturday
 
Walt how long are you planing on riding? The race will be over at 9:15, could get to CR by 10. Would you still be there to give me a heads up?
