The Cannell Plunge. It's Time!

[konakc]

Ok.. will bring pads..

 

[konakc]

I must have walked the chunky sections..

 

[DangerDirtyD]

With this many going it will be fun to watch the underlying competition between the “A” group. Do b groups compete? Any predictions?

The ghost of Bernie, revisited. If ya wanna charge, ya gotta get there first...or really really, really last.

I'm so glad you guys remember my "dirt bath"!!. Damn!! I've missed riding with you guys!

I'm pretty sure there's going to be more than sausage there.

I am so stoked!!! Got a call yesterday afternoon that my Ripley repair is complete and the bike is ready for pick up. I am sooo glad, that I will be able to ride that bike on Cannell instead of my SS. Done Cannell on a hardtail a couple of times but the singlespeed part would suck. Not for the climbing but not being able to ride as fast as I'd like on the flowy, false flat stuff. Just be too spun out. Now I hope my rebuild goes well. See you guys on Sat.

Awesomeness! Great timing

Heeee! I get to play bicycles again!

I’m a bit new on here. Don’t really know any of you folks. Is there still room in this ride? I’ve done this trail twice and love it. Y’all interested in having a new guy tag along?

Heck yeah jump on board.

I guess I waited too late. The Mt River site shows no shuttle availability until October. Anyone on here needing to cancel I can take your spot. I’m going to call tomorrow and make sure.

 

[scottay]

Thats probably for Shuttlefest. Keep looking for the $45 shuttle. Says 15 spots available.

Cucamonga! Paging @Tom the Bomb! What are the odds this shindig suddenly becomes a Bomb Squad production?

I hoping to go up Friday afternoon... just gotta' get the act together!

 

[Faust29]

I'd love to be part of the "Storming the Castle" group, but most likely will be hanging back with the "Smell the Roses" group.

I want to smell the roses on the upper part! I've ridden it twice, and honestly can't recall what it looks like.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Who's riding where this Saturday?! Oops, wrong thread!

I've done it twice on the single speed... The only part that really sucked was on one of the fire road sections. I spun like a crack hamster and watched the group disappear into the distance. It was so bad, I thought I was going to lose site of them. The rest was fine... Not really much difference with a geared bike, and you don't have to worry about ripping off a derailleur.

This time I'm trying the Hightower...

Knowing he runs rigid.....it would be horrible through the chunk.

The only parts I had to walk on the SS were the same spot that the geared guys were walking.

In the ride description it shows a rider limit of 10. It seems we have a few more than that. How do we go about getting selected?

@Mikie

Really? You had to ask?

WHAT!?!?!?!? Kanga took my spot by 1 second? Oh this just will not do!

 

[Danimal]

He did say he's the big wiener, Just hope that's not what he beat him with.
