How about it Washingtonians? Ready to begin the annual assault on Tinkham? Its staying light enough at night now for a midweek run some time soon.....

 

I'd be in!

 

where exactly is that? off i-90, right?

 

Yeup... East on I-90, Exit 42, turn right and the air-down is about 100 yards up on the left. (adjust on your own if you're coming from the East and traveling West on 90 )

 

What's the snow level, if any, now? Been a while since I have been in that area.

 

That's kinda' the point... We all meet out there around 6:30/7:00 and head up as far as we can go. When tend to keep trying on a weekly basis until we can make it all the way up to the top.

The "traditional" climb was through a section with "The Hill" up near the top, but The Hill has become so rutted out that a normal 2-3" lift won't get you up it. Kinda' sad.

But again, this run is more about the fun of trying to get up, not so much getting to the top.

 

Yeah, I haven't been up there in a while, so I haven't seen the climb since the difficulty level has increased. How about we shoot for May 11th?

 

The 11th is better than your first choice!

 

Why so far away? How about next week?

 

Partly because I've got to install a new steering rack and am not sure whether I'll get it done this weekend. With the good weather we're getting, may increase the odds we'll get all the way to the top as well.

 

I will be up for it, about a year from this date
My rig is running so poor right now, it needs some Boeing greenbacks to get it in shape for the trails.

I will also have some vaca time hopefully next year if the big B gets me back this year so I can hit some trails up there with ya.

 

I'm in.
Just hope we don't stay out as late as we have in the past.
Work the next day usually sucks due to lack of sleep. Although its fun when we get into trouble ala most of us getting stuck in the snow.

i may be up to it, not sure yet,

wade

 

AHEM!

Thank Gawd you didn't mention who that nerd is!

WHEW!

 

oh man i wanna go, if its the 11th, i wont be able to go. leavin for Michigan that morning. :s stupid family!!!! i don't know how many runs i'll be able to make this summer either, seeing how i work mon-thurs. but we'll see!!!

however, if it is next weds, i wont be working. nudge nudge wink wink!!!

 

Think my rig could do ok up there, fellas?

 

it would do perfectly fine. it might not make it all the way up the hill climb (i have yet to defeat it without being pulled up) but you'll have no problem at all getting to the hill climb.

 

If your nice you could ask Kevin if his friends could help you out this year. LOL

 

That is so funny, Mike! Wasn't there an orb chasing him around too?

 

god that was THE funniest thread in the world!!!! i just like how rob turned into the red one!!!
