While the Stockton bike club was out riding from Ione, the Boathouse, (or Livermore as Dr. Evil
proposed), I elected to join the TROGS last Saturday for a mountain bike ride at Red Hills. There
I met TROGS Alex, Dennis, Fred, and John; and they led me through 15 miles of heaven and hell.
Heaven, because of the panoramic views, and hell because of the uncompromising rocky terrain.
Though I'm a bit battered and and bruised, I had a great time and discovered some skill I didn't
know (or remember) I had.

You forgot to mention the soaking you got on the creek crossing. Or the fact that 3 of the 5 of us
wound up crashing at one point or another. I think the big problem with the creek crossing was that
you thought about it too much.

Dennis I had wanted to meet for a long time, having known him from his reputation on the internet.

None of those accusations have been proven, it was all a smear campaign. And all of the animals
involved were fine after therapy.

Quoted message said:

Fred was the only one close to me in age. He seemed to be the quietest one. Either that, or I
never seemed to be in earshot.

John's favorite word was "entertaining"--which means you'd better pay attention or you'll find
yourself otb.

The ride was followed by a Chinese food buffet in Oakdale.

I think next time we'll hit the deli with Fred, the buffet was overrated.

See you at Coe, it should be a great ride.

Alex pretty much led the way, and if he's as good on the road as he is on the trail, he'll give the
SBC boys a run for their money when he decides to come out and ride with us on the road.

Damn, you would have have to bring that up! It was the only crossing I had actually scouted first to
plan a line. Now, who was it that fell in the mud hole?

cookie and sporkie ride again. I thought that guy talking smack to each other was a made up
phenomena, sort of like chicks having catfights with mascara brushes...

John fell in the mudhole. I launched over the bars trying to take a log at 15 MPH. Get you facts
straight 🙂

Hey, Dennis, I only asked because I didn't remember who it was. I wasn't implying that it was you,
but thanks anyway for revealing your own crash.

Wow. You mean you can actually mountain bike with other people? I've been riding solo for so long if
someone actually rode with me, at some point, I'd think they were following me.....................

Great RR. Even the mangled crossing sounded like fun.
