I know I've caught a mountain biking bug, and it will probably take a while to get over it. But I don't think the bug is epidemic. C'mon, someone has to be still climbing rocks somewhere. Anyone?

Munge, is that rain on your window or did you just sneeze;D

Mr Mud, fear not......Mtb biking also brings me great joy though the gear isn't cheaper:-(

Precipitation for shizzle. midday and then it opened up good at 3pm. I'm quite thrilled that I wasn't on top of First Buttress when the lightning started up. Apparently other tacoites had buzzing gear this last weekend.

Gone climbing on 9 days so far this month, so yeah, I'm slowing down the pace a little.

Hey I've been climbing, but to have slowed down. At least I have a valid excuse....off-spring on the way.

What I want to know is anyone climbing at the Pinns still?

Last week, I got 4 days straight of climbing in with my son, Cole. We met up w/Chris in T-Meadows and climbed Zee Tree (doing the 3rd class descent down the slabs) and Golfer's Route on Low Profile. Hit Whoa Nellie Deli and the Wild Willy's hot springs that evening. Climbed Iris Slabs (Rock Creek) the next day and then 2 days in Clark Canyon. Cole had a blast and did really well.

Brad - sorry we didn't connect. My bad - didn't really plan out the week very well so things just kind of happened.

Mudworm has not climbed a lot but I think she has riden her bike something like 45 days since March, perhaps more, plus a few days of climbin.

Sal, I think I may be able to get away for an attempt on the Quadfecta the weekend of the 23rd. I will looked into taking a Monday perhaps Tuesday. It is a bit difficult to commit 100% because of work. But if I can get the time off I am up for a try. Mudworm might join us.

salad · « **Reply #13 on:** June 25, 2008, 12:15:01 PM »

weekend of the 23rd? 7/23 is a wednesday, 6/23 is behind us. let me know what date exactly you are thinking...

mynameismud · « **Reply #14 on:** June 25, 2008, 03:48:48 PM »

Weekend Starting Saturday July 19. I can probably get that Monday and possibly Tuesday off from work. Will have to look into it.

My work has been a bit crazy. Sometimes stuff just comes up and I end up working when I had planned on doing something else so I cannot commit 100% at this time. If you have a solid opportunity I say take that opportunity. I will start looking into whether there will be someone around to cover for me and if my other half will be onsite since only one of us can be gone at a time.

salad · « **Reply #15 on:** June 26, 2008, 05:53:01 AM »

ok, im not committed either. still wavering between suffering in the valley heat or the eastern sierra.

btw - you dont need more than 20 hours for the quadfecta, so you really dont need to take work off...

I will probably take the days off to make the drive easier.

Can the Trooper make it that far? Better give yourself another day.

No but the bike will.
