It was a dying gang anyway. At least we're talking about the gang again.

It's really "The Gnarliest Mountain Bike Gang". C'mon Never you're a OG you shoud kknow.

You'll notice that some of the conversation is missing because Brian sanitized it, I believe. Pete is still in some of the other post quotes. That was a funny thread.

I remember that thread, I didn't realize that was the beginning of the TGMBG though. Too damn funny. All Pete did was tell a kid he couldn't go from 35km/h to 0km/h in 5 feet, and then it began. Quality read, thanks D.

No guarantees on the princess thing without clarification. I'm not a flamboyant **** if that's any consolation.

So, in the spirit of fair trade - when can we expect you to tour Appalachia?

Hey, come on...give me a break! I had 9 days of DH in a row and it was freakin' hot the whole time (the North Shore day wiped me out). Plus the occasional extra curricular babysitting I had to do kept me up until 4-5am some days (Blair and Johnny were having a "disagreement").

So for 2011, I don't want to babysit and we're only going to Whistler. Hitting up that many places all at once was tiring. So 2011 looks like Whistler during later summer so more of the trails are open and good to go.

I'm not a flamboyant **** if that's any consolation.In other words, you're bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to go before 10 no matter how much you 'indulged' the night before - - none of this rolling out of bed at noon, breaking at 1 for breakfast, breaking at 2 for lunch and "oh let's do Crank It Up again, I don't know if I'm up to eating wood on Crack addict." :D

Yes, in fairness to never, they did way too many resorts before Whistler and were all in by then. Can't blame him. We met at Sun Peaks, so I only had a day of SP and was warmed up an loose by Whistler.

However, they DID seem to have the energy to drag the waitress from GLC all over Timbuktu bar-hopping to the wee hours. Hmmmm . . . . .


So, in the spirit of fair trade - when can we expect you to tour Appalachia?I'm thinking Fall? I'd like to cut the racing season short (especially if things pan out for the Nat Champs) and maybe get even more 'play time' next year. I had a blast this year - - rode and raced more than I have in a lonnnng time.

Hey, I rarely drink so that wasn't my excuse...just fatigue! And I don't know where you were a couple of the mornings but I was riding by myself!

And hopefully Blair is comfortable on stuff bigger than Crank It Up so I don't feel bad taking him down the bigger stuff.
