Mr Mud and I are planning on driving up to Bear on Saturday night and camp somewhere (he has work to do on Saturday).
Delbomber will be there on Sunday too. Uncle Stinky, what about you? Anyone else?
When and where should we meet?
-
I think I will still be up here. I am in the BV library now. I may help out on an environmental study on Sunday but I am not sure. If I am able to ride I will swing by the Bike Shop at 10:00. I think I will be climbing on Saturday so I will not be to check this. Call on my cell if you want. I will try check this forum later today. Jeff.

The plan is Delbomber will come up with his son Nick. We'll meet at the bike shop at around 9:30am. Uncle Stinky, hope you can make it.

Yetime is also going to come up.

Another fun day! Mr Mud and I camped near Bear Valley and met up with Delbomber, Nick, YETITIME, and my friend Melissa (I climbed with her three years ago). Uncle Stinky swang by and said hi. (Uncle Stinky, we met this really nice lady coming down from Cape Horn and had a nice little chat with her. But our oxygen depleted brains did not register that she was your wife, Katie, until an hour later. I guess I just did not expect to see her so soon. Did she ride out and back? We have to ride together someday.)
The course we took was pretty much the same that Uncle Stinky took us on last Sunday (http://www.mudncrud.com/forums/index.php?topic=461.0) except that we did not do the Osborn Ridge Trail, but rather came down back to the multi-use trail and headed back to the car. Per my GPS, it was about 13 miles in total. There are quite a few photos from this trip. Please visit the Gallery for the complete album (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5668). Here are just a few highlights.

After the ride -- show us your helmet head

Oh wait. Nick was not smiling. There. Much better...

What do you say? You think Delbomber is hating it?

At Cape Horn, the brave few came down the rocks following various lines.
(http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5848&g2_serialNumber=2) (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5846&g2_imageViewsIndex=2)Delbomber came down first
(http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5878&g2_serialNumber=2) (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5876&g2_imageViewsIndex=2)Then Mr Mud rode down before I had chance to hand him the knee pads.
(http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5903&g2_serialNumber=2) (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5901&g2_imageViewsIndex=2)YETITIME actually took the trail, which is not easy either.
(http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=5914&g2_serialNumber=2) (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5912&g2_imageViewsIndex=2)Here comes Melissa. See how professional she looks?
I'd like to post more photos, but it's getting a bit late. Again, see all the photos at the Gallery (http://www.mudncrud.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5668).

Yep that was my wife. I dropped her off at the top for time reasons. Glad to hear you had great ride. After I dropped her off, I did some trail work while dragging my kids along. I think I even heard your group at Cape Horn. After another hour of work there should be another mile or so of legal off road riding above Cape Horn.
Thinking of doing an epic ride next Sunday up there. 30-40 miles. Jeff

Uncle Stinky I really apologize to your wife for not making the connection. I talked with you about it for a while then when I saw her on the trail completely blanked until I got to Cape Horn. Tell her we all say high in retrospect and that I apologize.
Take care and
here's ta sweat in your eye

This was a great ride, good afternoon weather, and good company. Was great to finally meet everyone and put names with the faces. Will have to do it again soon... :)
