Chimney Rock Thursdays

[Zaskar]

Even the blues brothers showed up.

It's got a cop motor, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it will run good on regular gas.

Be careful of this guy on the white trail twisties. It's been in pretty much the same spot the few times I've been to CR in the last 2 weeks.

Last week I saw one on blue in middle of the trail. Not the first time this year.

@David Taylor I need clarification on the spine-saving technique you mentioned. Should I be clenching up as if trying to hold back a shit, or bearing down as if trying to take a shit?
If the latter, how to do this without making another mess of myself? 😳

I understood it as "CLENCHING" the butt muscles like you're trying to hold one in or snap one off 😉

I looked at strava and am disappointed. This ride didn't look painful at all.

Kirt brought the pain in the beginning then jet'd on us... Iggy took it easy on us and @Clapper put in some good digs.

[MMuller]

Was Iggy not letting people pass again?

I'm just mad I wasn't there when there was a big crowd.

BTW ... Kirt with an "I". I mean, i don't mind but he gets pissed.

@pooriggy had an off day, couple back to back spills. I am new to this ride and it was definitely easier yesterday. Only spiked the hr to 184. Usually i am around 190 when u are there @jShort . We only did one tough climb yesterday( the yellow technical up one.) it was definitely a lot of fun with 5 or 6 guys through out the ride. We stopped a lot though.

You spelled my last name wrong as well, you stooge.

That's your fault, you should have pushed harder.

 

[Jeremy]

I missed that. If I saw it, I definitely would have corrected him .

 

[Dave Taylor]
