Thanks Golden Spoke for the Free Drinks!

Local Unknown and Xterric met the group at the Knott for a FIVE strong ride.  "It's the Tuesday Riders!" was heard as Cappy ride led the group up qualifier to climb powerline. We made another ascent after powerline and returned to park creek.  At this point, local unknown departed as he was without lights.  Sun set at about 7:15PM.  Park Creek led us to Chopping block (AKA Tokyo Drift by Xterric).  We headed left at the bottom of Chopping block, crossed the flume and climbed back to park Creek.  The we ventured over the deep dust to Barnes back where we met more deep dust the whole way down.  At the bottom of Barnes back, we turned right to head back to the lot via rock garden and 1A.  Xterric took a chicane too quickly and went down on 1A (being safe, I was far behind and didn't see the accident ahead).  We got back to the knott via lake loop after 1a.  No mechanicals on this ride!   At the Knott, the kind Golden Spoke treated the group to free drinks!!  Thanks Golden Spoke!

Table talk included various topics.  When was the last time there was a Ft3 ride without both B and NoCar??  If you were given one last race (Mtb, road, x-cross, track) and you were to never ride a bicycle again, what event would you race?  Cappy mentioned cross, others mentioned Leadville 100, and No Handle said the continental divide race.

 As we were departing, the waitress mentioned something like this, "It so confusing sometimes with your names and all those new people, Especially like that new guy Lars!" 

Ride stats: 18.5 miles, 2Hr 35 minutes total, departed 6:46PM, 4k ft climbing.


Cappy's tentative call out for Saturday September 29th!  3PM Squito lot for Cronan, EDH, railroad loop.
