Dave_Schuldt Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 No snow yet (unless your Gaper Jeffy) but we can have fun getting ready for it! Looking for people to ride with this fall. Most trails are wide and smooth with muddy sections. There’s some steeper stuff near the top. From what I’ve read fall is the best time of year for this place. I want to do the Mean Green 54 in early November before it gets super muddy. No motos and after 11/1 no horses. Did some rides down there last spring and really enjoyed it. It’s a giant tree farm so there’s clear cuts and 2nd growth forest. This will be great training for what I hope is a great winter, spring and summer of back country skiing. I live in Seattle and don’t drive. I have weekends off but may be able to do a weekday with a few days notice. Ready to start with 30 miles and work up to 54.

Gaper_Jeffy Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Here are exercises you can do to train for skiing: 16. Visit your local butcher and pay $30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for a half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 dollar bills to warm up. 15. Soak your gloves and store them in the freezer after every use. 14. Fasten a small, wide rubber band around the top half of your head before you go to bed each night. 13. If you wear glasses, begin wearing them with glue smeared on the lenses. 12. Throw away a hundred dollar bill-now. 11. Find the nearest ice rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car. Sporadically drop things. 10. Place a small but angular pebble in your shoes, line them with crushed ice, and then tighten a C-clamp around your toes. 9. Buy a new pair of gloves and immediately throw one away. 8. Secure one of your ankles to a bed post and ask a friend to run into you at high speed. 7. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $8.50 for a hamburger. Be sure you are in the longest line. 6. Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face. 5. Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18 wheeler. 4. Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. Leave the ice on your face until it melts. Let it drip into your clothes. 3. Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom. 2. Slam your thumb in a car door. Don't go see a doctor. 1. Repeat all of the above every Saturday and Sunday until it's time for the real thing!
