It's summer - mountain bike season! Post your stoke here.

Uh, where'd the line go?

C'mon folks, let's see some of your mtb stoke!

Here's some from Downieville this past weekend. It was Africa hot so we spent a lot of time in the river.

Oh yeah. There's some pretty decent mountain biking there too.

Sweet, Jim. Hopefully I'll have some mtb stoke to add in a few days. Affix, MtnRider, PJ and I just finalized plans to ride in S. Lake this Thurs. and Friday--any sb.comer is welcome. Sorry so late but logostics have been up in the air.

River swimming is the shit!!!

Oh man. You guys should stick around for the weekend too! I'm heading up late Friday...

Dude I don't believe you actually own a mtn bike. Prove it!

Back to the pics. Here's one from Northstar. They reopened their mountain bike park this summer, and it rocks. Some of the stunts in the "Stash" snowboard park do double duty in the summer. Does this count as "singletrack"?

I know it's hard for a photographer extraodaire like yourself to believe but Tommy and I both forgot to bring our cameras. Affix brought his but he got a bunk rental bike and had to tap out after 1-mile or so.

I swear I have a bike :oops:

Rookies!

ps. Affix is in town? Did I miss the memo?

Ecobrad · **Posted:** Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:18 am

Definite rookies. No memo but you did miss the thread.

Just givin' you a hard time man.

That sucks about the rental bike for Affix. Just going to have to come back out again and try again... with some notice we can get him set up for real!

Well one of these days we have to meet up for a ride... assuming you actually have a bike.

Oh almost forgot. This has nothing to do with biking, but happened on the way to riding, and I thought I'd post as a public service announcement:

Mullet sighting in South Lake Tahoe. Suspect looks edgy. Beware.

Alright, Jimw. I really dig the new Vladimir Karpets look...

...and the BYC.
