My understanding is that it's not gone yet....but it's days appear to be numbered! :booo:

I know, I'll have to go for a "good ole days" run sometime soon....some dry day soon! :awesomework:

:( SST no more?

At least we have the more modest Colonnade, but that plain sucks. Back to diggin at 25, 27, etc. I guess. I can understand needing to widen roads (a good thing) but I hope they let "us" build elsewhere.

Holy crap, dude, they don't really "let" us build anything- they're all on the down low, until they get blabbed about on the interweb, that is...:rolleyes:
Know anyone with a few hundred acres of hilly land with scumbag-mountain-biker sympathies.... that's who'll "let" us build :awesomework:

Ooop, I switched back to the SST again. The road won't take up the whole thing, at least I think, so if the Flowpark has to be rebuilt (hey, above softies? ), then that's ok, provided we can get the nod again. My coworker is buddy buddy with the dude who organizes everything down there. She's one of those rare cyclecross chicks who likes mud.

Yeah, it's hard to say how much of it will get eaten by the road, there seems to be some varying reports..... go cyclo-cross :cheer: (chicks no less, yummy!) :masturbanana[1]:

Yeah, we're always on the brink of disaster, I guess. But it sounds like there have been tons of surveyers there lately (all pretty tight lipped, I guess), and lots of trees are marked with spooky white tape.......suspicious! :booo:

Boxxerace · Jan 14, 2009

Just make sure the white tape gets changed to tree's *not* in the flowpark.

Shhhh!

Just got back from a ride at big finn/st. eddy's w/ the GF. Pretty damp, but very rideable. :awesomework: Just a nice 1 1/2 hour ride around. A little cold at first but once you get the blood pumping it's on like donkey kong. :cheer:

I was there too :cheer: walking the dog :booo: . It just wasn't quite a riding day, even though it shoulda been... Good riding conditions, though, huh?! Instead, I ended up going for a RUN, in preparation for the spring riding season :cheer:

I didn't vomit :cheer: but I won't be walking tomorrow :booo:

Ride on!!:awesomework:

PS- You don't have a little red VW (I think it was) do you? :eeek:

I thought the riding conditions were pretty good... for this time of year! :redneck: :haha: .

I do have a red vw, that was prolly my dub you saw then, cus i didn't see any other cars in the lot that looked like mine... I saw a few gals walking dogs :eeek: :corn: , taller brunette with a white low-rider dog, another gal with a yellow dog (not sure what kind but smaller than a lab...)

I have a little green Subi- Legacy type, I think you parked RIGHT next to me!

Glad you had a good ride, and I'm sure I'll see ya out there soon! :cheer:
