Message: [QUOTE="holeshot, post: 935898, member: 17202"] I was a little wishy-washy on my decision to come up to K.M., because I didn’t feel quite normal, but July 4 weekend only comes around once year, so I thought I’d give it a go. I arrived in the afternoon on Friday, with plenty of time for an uneventful ride up Jackass. Later that evening, I had the chance to sample MrLucky’s Tri Tip and beans, which had a lot more flavor than the “non-cooking” food that I brought. Without people like him, some guys would starve. I met up with a few DRN’rs that I hadn’t met before, and they all seemed like the level headed, reasonable type ;) . Later in the evening, I had memories of the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles. While everyone else was sucking back Barley Pops, I was was trying to look cool while sipping on a can of Slim-Fast. It wasn’t easy. The next morning, I headed out with Eel for a “quick” trail ride (yeah sure :nod: ). He warned of a rocky uphill ahead, so my first thought was, “How do I get out of this?”. I didn’t have quite enough momentum in a couple of spots, so I got stuck - just when a bunch of other riders were coming up the trail. Eel offered to ride my bike up about 30 feet, so I happily relented. Later, I remembered that I came across this same trail a few years ago while riding my ol’ 426. The situation was different then, as there was no one else around, so I had no choice but to ride up. I made it that time (just barely), but I vowed to never take that trail again (yeah, sure :nod: ). On the ride back, we took the same trail (downhill this time). As I was going though the ugliest part of the downhill, my rear wheel suddenly locked solid. WT…..? It turns out that small rock got stuck between the chain and countershaft sprocket. With some severe clutch abuse and then some trail side muscle (not mine), the rock finally came loose. I was gettin’ kind of sketchy near the end of the ride, due in large part to my flakey right side. I was just happy to get back without causing a “Rope and Pulley” scene. I left early Saturday afternoon to give myself plenty of time to recuperate. I think someone mentioned that O’Lady9’r might not show………..? :rotfl: [/QUOTE]
