Sh!t, man, don't thank me. I like to think of myself as nothing more than a conduit for the truth.

I'm heading out around 5 this morning. Precipitation is not expected until 10 am, though it's already a little windy.

I mentioned it on purpose. I like to keep @Faust29 always ready to react with a negative comment he does not believe in.
If you guessed what I believe in personally, you'd be wrong...
In the case of the forum, I just take property rights and capitalism seriously. It's @Mikie 's forum. Mikie's rules.When are you going to come ride some trails without guardrails?

Coarsegold. 20ish miles south of the southern entrance of Yosemite or 258 miles north of The Pond in Anaheim.

My personal belief... In quite simple terms:
If your long time friend (and forum owner) has repeatedly asked you not to Sh!t in his living room, you should respect that. It's his living room. He owns it. He sets the rules in his house. The whole common decency and personal property thing come to mind. If you can not refrain from shitting in your friend's living room, go hang out with those who will allow you to do so.
Edit: For those wondering... This thread has been cleaned up a bit. And not all the players are still here.

I would be 100% right.
That is exactly what I find to be amusing.I will come up there and ride once I get my fork dialed.

For a dude who everyone says can't act ... he is in some of my favorite movies ever. Keanu, not Swayze (well, except Roadhouse).
Nobody saw River's Edge, but Keanu, Crispin Glover and Dennis freakin' Hopper. Come on man.

She will be fine once she gets to Orange County, the last bastion of freedom.
Yeah, if there is actually a hurricane, it fully missed us.

We won’t even hit the OC, we live in Bakersfield, so the 15 to Barstow to Tehachapi to Bako. So dessert the whole way home.

Quick spin on the gravel bike this morning. The rain literally chased me all the way home. Only a couple of sprinkles.

Whenever my family in Oregon would see a storm watch in SoCal, they would call and ask if I was going to be okay. I'd say, "Yeah, why?" A storm down here is what we call drizzle up there.In other news ... The Hurricane has hit Orange County! I have friends and family from other states messaging me and asking if I am OK.
It is drizzling. No wind.

From what I have experienced, you inland types are too slow for me. Much like OC Parks docents.

LOL, yeah I have had numerous texts already today. I guess it missed OC almost completely. Zero wind, but a Sh!t ton of rain for August.
Hero dirt incoming on our awesome trails that have no intention of killing.

We came home down the 5 yesterday (yea 12 hour drives!)
There were some serious squalls before Bako that were near white-out level, and a ton of lightning.

iMTB Rockstah
Yeah so am I, but it’s 2 hours from most places I go. One day we will move….

Thankfully, the squalls were short duration. The lightning combined with the heavy metal station out of Fresno made it more entertaining.
