It’s my (No Longer A) Bachelor/Birthday Party!!! Come on down to the closing weekend at Snowshoe with us and celebrate the fact that my wife rules and therefore i can still hurl myself down mountains.
I rented a sweet townhouse that you can check out HERE and sleeping space is first come/first served. I am driving down earlyish saturday to get some riding in and can take two other people. I think Chris and Larry are planning on leaving later in the day and just hanging out saturday night and riding sunday. If you want to go you are more than welcome, even if dh/fr isn’t your thing, they have some amazing xc trails there too. Just call me at 412-759-1419 to let me know you are coming.
PS: i’m not getting strippers. sorry.
Chris made me an author so I could write about mountain bike rides, but hey, Thick is sponsoring, so if you want to be a roadie for a day…
