With the exception of the infamous "903" ride, I had always managed to
have the silver linings of good weather follow me around, including to
CA on my trips there. Some called me the Good Weather Fairy, which
doesn't threaten my sexuality at all. In fact, I found it quite
humorous, hence the reference.

Poor little booby, he ran out of things to play with. It's too bad you
didn't try to live out your stalking fantasies in real life while it
was easy to find me in Colorado. Beating you to within an inch of your
pathetic (lack of a) life would have been a pleasure. The again, you
have proven time and time again what a worthless piece of chickenshit
you truly are and you would never dare to approach me...ever.

The cops there would love you, booby.

You couldn't tell that was booby? Wake up, Sorni!

Thanks Matt! I had a great time in spite of the rain and it was great
to finally meet you. Now that CO is my home, we'll meet up more
frequently and I hope before the winter comes to tackle Monarch.

I just got back from the retreat in Moab. Did a little riding there too
. I'll have some pics, video, and a report later.

Moab turned out to be blue and sunny on Sunday. Gary missed a great ride.

Yeah, and more technical than you lead me to believe.

It was the rain. Makes the rocks around here swell ;-)
