Day 5, Stayin Alive... On to Day 6.

Hey All-

Here We go. I've been working and working to get this thing up and going again, and it has been tough.

At any rate, here are a few updates.

From the MV Scene, Me the Kiwi, Reevie, and Weak Sauce have been hitting up a few rides together. Along with that, I got a good one in with Frosty on Day 4... I think it was 4 anyway. Having been missing my camera, I haven't been able to snap too many shots, but here are a few from the past days.

Day 1: As quoted by the Bo Kid on Suntrail. "I mean I do the same thing man, get on the trails, but 20..? Dude..?"

Sick Singletrack



Schooky of course without la ropa.


Day 2 was a scorching roll of the dice, though these photos don't really do the justice of how my legs felt afterwards. Keep an I on that Kiwi, He's got some legs for shizzle.


For Days 1,2, and 3, I got word from Weeder that Mendo and the surround trees were epic on the skinnies.
Quick update from the north.
Day one solid 2.5 hours on the redwood highway. Sweet rolling river road throught the woods.
Day two pounding out 45 miles some hills and of course fucking trees the size of skyscrapers. On the redwood highway and then thru old groth forest road. back to camp with a little single track poach.
Day three a.k.a. Pinch flat day. Pounding up three miles of steep ass shit. Then to a road that turned to steep ass down fire road handling the huge chunks of gravel. Feeling on top of it fixie skidding hipster style. Then that flat feeling, the repair all good... Hating myself about the point when I was packing and thinking "I'm not gonna need co2..." quick note you always need the co2 worth every 500 fucking pennies (or 40 bucks for the whole set up and extra cartridges with tube at fort brag cycles. And if you think I'm a bitter bike shop guy go chat with him... He Makes me look like Skye.)... So steep ass two miles or gravel the size of mother ass babies the road smooths out for fifteen miles of the the sweetest road I swear to god makes me want to give up the dirt... Almost. All in all with the walking and flat 30 miles of good spinning. Good loop.

Tomorrow is Cameron road from navorrow river to paper mill. About 40 miles.

And on a side note I'm riding the benotto fixed wheel. Yeah Weeder style.

And to pete and weak sauce. Tons of avo and rice cakes up here if you bros need a refill.


Peace and avo
Regards,
Matt


Heading into day 6, with legs feeling a bit rousted, from an epic with the Kiwi yesterday, Coastal-Heather Cuttoff-Miwok Singletrack (AKA poison oak Trail), which I'll have you know Kiwi and I got harassed my a Sierra Douche with a NPS hat on. It almost came to physicality, but fruitcake knew better. But apparently, by riding trails we're ruining it for everyone.-on to Miwok Fire road-whatever it is to tennessee valley-rhubarb. As I am sitting in my office doing work to catch up before taking off for Nicky D's Bachelor party as well as SSWC09, I will probably be knocking out a road loop as soon as I return home to MV.

Other than that, I haven't been getting updates from many, so shoot me some mail with pic and other such business. I'll start creating some more posts if I got some good stuff from the rest of you folks out there. Having Found my Camera

That's if for now. Check I'll hit you up with the next post soon.

Oh yeah... Weak Sauce-that was stEvil with Loudass.
