Wish I could go but I need to figure out this brake issue. Seems I have a leaking front caliper along with one of the rear drums hanging up on the shoes. Not good all in all.
 
Might make this one.

I'm planning on it!!
Still gonna be runnin the bikini top and half doors...
BURRRRRR!!
 
Hey Krusty think we are going to be at that game as well. SIL is a State Farm Agent and got box seats through some sort of work thing. Should be a good time and always love the Boise State game!!!
 
Looks like we are a go for this trip. Looking forward to it. Might have a friend (in a jeep) coming as well.

See everyone there. :cool:

Chicago might want to bring a rain suit. Supposed to be a little wet this week and weekend. That last off camber mud climb might be interesting...

I am out for the time being. Too many other things going on this month.

Yeah... I've been watching that....
That doesn't excite me AT ALL and makes the whole idea downright un appealing!!

Best rain gear you can get, Grundens Storm Surge;

I have the jacket and pants, if you shop around on the net you can find them for ~$70 each, which sounds high but is really a great value. You all know I'm a charter member of the Cheap Bastards club but this is one place where you do not want to cut corners if you run open top year round.

Believe it or not, it's not the rain as much as the mud that bugs me!!

Yeah, depending on the weather, we may all be in for quite the mud fest, which will be a factor for everyone attending. I mean I think we all H8MUD...

Yap!!!
If its soggy, I'll most likely bail. As much as I wanna wheel w/ ya jack, its not worth pickin mud out of every orifice on ME and my rig for the next month!! :eek:
Last weekend would have been a GREAT weekend for this trip....
Damn winter!! :)

Lucky you to be in a box seat for this rainy day game. Last home game I froze my butt off(20 degrees)--was waiting in the line for the porta potti and couple of dudes and a chick come out of their box seats onto their balacony with cold beer:beer: in hand complaining it was to hot in there.:crybaby: Probably won't see ya, but look for me in the sea of wolfpack blue apathy near the 45 yard line, yelling my head off. I swear sometimes I think these people around me act like they are at a funeral:D. Should be a good game. Book says Boise by 8. I predict wolfpack by 3.:clap:
 
This run is gonna be HOSED!!! :(

I think I'm going to have to agree. Like you, I have no desire to get/play in the mud. And more importantly, cleaning the mud off of or out from under the jeep.

The forecast is calling for more and continued rain all week...

Jack
 
Yup was only supposed to rain some yesterday and it rained from about 4am until noon here in Carson. Hell I couldn't even ride to work today because of the damn wind, and that only signifies that there is more storm coming....
