    I'm out. Have to work Friday. I am thinking two day trips over the holiday weekend -- one on Saturday and one of Sunday, then enjoy the bike races in the District on Monday afternoon after a local mtn bike ride that morning. I am considering Kettle, Sugarbottom, Farmdale or Indy. Depends on weather of course and trail conditions.
    I wanna ride!

    I'll claim a seat, though I'm not opposed to driving if the van fills up and another vehicle is needed.

    Farmboy- Next time we may be hunting that up!! We had 20 or 30 with us the last time a group went to kettle, think he'd be allright with that many people getting plastered in his yard at some time in the future?

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Farmboy, thanks for the info. Our original thought was Kettle but their group camping was filled. We have since come up with alternative plans, but we will definitely keep the lodging option in mind for future trips. No lie, last trip was 31 FORCers!
    I wanna ride!

    Looks like I'm out. You will be seeing on the news that a women in Castle Rock, CO. killed her two kids and tried to kill herself. The husband, Eric, is a life long, very good friend of mine. I will be in CO this weekend.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    You can pretty much ride most of Levis right after a rain, but that's not why we decided to call it. Mostly it was the combination of 70% chance of rain and the 48 degree low...at least that's what did it for me. I can handle one or the other, but I've got way too many things I could be doing other than sitting in my tent freezing and watching it rain.

    We were wondering what happened to the Forcsters this year!
    Levis Trails were in great shape, mother nature spared us and provided for days of single track fulfillment.
    We pretty much had the place to ourselves this year.

    Yeah a few of us were regretting the decision to call it...had a pretty good weekend nonetheless though!
