Seymour

Chip 1

Posted on by Smoke

So much can happen in a day or so. I makes ya wonder. So there’s this punk staying in my yard right now. He’s telling me this story about how he broke his back jumping some 30 footer in Oregon last winter. While he was in a back brace recovering, he thought it would be good for a larf to swing on a rope and yell like Tarzan. He broke his leg. This is about six months ago it all started He’s just getting back on it.

So he comes to the Shore with his RM6. Today he rode all the way to the top of Seymour, rode the Perimeter and Hangman, then rode all the way back up again for CBC, Corkscrew, Boogieman. Then he went for a lap of Fromme.

I’m getting too old for this shit.

Barb rode with Chip from North Carolina today. I get him tomorrow. Should be a wet one on the Big Eye.

First Ride on the TripLog

Hey hey. It works. Neat. Well, let me tell ya about today. Rode Seymour with the Old Bastards. Had to thrash them. Suckas. Started on a shuttle from about 2600′, just below the ski area. Around 8 inches of snow there. Never rode this particular piece of the backyard. I love it when that happens.

Anyway, Dave Stevens came out as well as Dom. Darcy and Bob have lots of time in already this year, but it has been about four years since Dom was competetive, and Dave has been off the back since about ’94. Averqage age without Smoke in the mix? 44. With Smoke? 39. These dudes are pushin, know what I mean?

Anyway, discussed safety in general at the top of CBC. A small amount of snow at the top. Saw Jeremey working on the Gerbil Cage, Part II. Went from there to Dale’s, then hit the C-Buster. First non-stop of the season.Dave used to be the master of the uphill, but he’s got a little conditioning to do.

Finished with the secret route back to casa de Smoke. Dom hit a gap, first ever. Two foot drop with a four foot gap on a corner. Not too bad, but killer for a 1st time.

Mmmmmmmm. Margaritas on the rocks, Two Fingers and Minute Maid. Gotta go, dinners up.

It’s only March 2nd. Look out. ’03, you wanna be me.
