Met Ckucke on Monday, 06 October 2008 for a St. Louis run. We waited for Root to show, but long after the meeting time, he neither showed or called to tell us that he was late or was not going to make it. I called him, and he was still on the job and was not going to show. Thanks for the heads-up, Root! We drove up to the top and dropped the trail, again running into Kevyn and his dogs along the trail and talking for a while. At the junction of the taco jumps trail to the mainline, we paused while I called Root to have him meet us at Ckucke’s afterwards for food. An Xterra-type dude came up the trail from agave, and a half-naked oyaji came down the mainline. Xterra dude said that there was one rider behind him, and semi-naked guy went down mainline, so we had obstacles to deal with either way. We went down mainline and passed semi-naked guy in the turn just after the little double. He seemed a little perturbed when we passed him, but I don’t know what he expected us to do other than pass him: We were going in the same direction, and he was moving slower than us. Trail etiquitte aside, it wasn’t possible for us to dismount and push the bikes past him, since he was jogging on the narrow trail. This time, instead of taking the ridge right, we took the slalomy left to the hammock tree and went out the regular trail.
D = same as last time, Vavr = a little faster than last time, Vmax = way freaking faster than last time, T = about half-an-hour (I neglected to put the computer back on the bike after the previous week’s ride)
