sorry troy, dont think i can make this one. im knee deep in floor tile...

lets see how much i get done by friday and ill update, but it dont look good as of now.

troy, by holcomb valley, do you mean 3n16? or are you planning on running holcomb creek? thats a medium from what i remember back in 07. otherwise, trails like jacoby canyon are awesome.

im planning my tiling around taking sunday off for a day off.

keep me informed. you have my cell as well (im only on the computer for a bit at a time) im itching to hit the trails though!

[troyboy162]

I guess its holcome creek. I havnt run it yet but I figured its about equal with gold mtn. Jacoby is always fun or even just hanging on the east side of the lake.

holcomb creek is my favorite trail of all time. i have a weird fascination with river beds. ever since i was little. let me know the details of where and when, and lexi and i will be there!

[troyboy162]

perfect! Ill iron it out before the weekend but most likely 8 am meet in BB

Wish I could make it, but I will be out of town.

Hey Troy, are you still guys doing this run? I'm putting the lift and new tires on tomorrow, and Sunday would be a perfect time to get some wheeling in. Only problem is that I'll be at the Pala race the day before, so that might make for a really long tiring weekend for the family.
Let me see if I can convince them and I'll let you know if I can meet you out there ASAP.

[troyboy162]

heck yeah the run is on! that would be perfect. I dont know where pala is but you guys can crash in wrightwood if it helps

[Seanz0rz]

looks like we have a chance of rain up there.

CANT FRICKEN WAIT!!!
