Will shoot for Cyber most wet Sunday mornings, 7am--10am. Often followed up by a carb, protein, and fat boost from Beth's. Drop a note beforehand if you're coming for sure.

If the weather report on Saturday reports a confident dry weekend, then the alternative slalom spot (a.k.a. a "real hill") will either be Lakeland Hills in Puyallup, or our college campus parking lot that we shouldn't mention much online. Be sure to get a hold of Brad, Corey, or Stryker for the alternative plans.

We'll continue testing those timing "tubes" from Pat Chewning. Last week they performed 100% reliably!

it's been a couple of weeks since I've been on my board, so I'm jones'n for a session. the last cyber session, I went to a harder wheel with mixed results. the 89a 70mm retros were sliding when pumped hard, they chirped. no grip, no rip so i'm going softer tomorrow, maybe 3 durometers, 89/86 front, 86/83 rear with soft ones on the right side cuz my heel side pump breaks them loose, being regular footed. Cool

Hi Everybody. Good duro setup Patrick. Don't forget its the wheel on the inside the turn that does the most work. If you are regular foot and the rear is sliding on toe-side turns, you want to soften up the right rear. If your are regular footed and you are sliding on heal-side turns, you want to soften up the left rear wheel. Seems backwards? Lets talk at the next cyber session (assuming I can drag my carcass out of bed).

Many of us are busy with holiday plans but if a small group is up for this Sunday sesh, I can make it 7--10 before we shoot down to Portland. Lemme know!

The timing system was sketchy last week and Michael's pretty sure it was the finish line tube failing. We'll need to pick up some real timing strips no matter what, in the coming month.

Thanks,

Patrick

Dan, that'd be great to have Jeremy along --

Michael's swinging by here soon to drop off the timer, and he might make the sesh tomorrow, a little later around 9 I imagine, in any case I'll be there from 7 until about 10-- woot!

great session last week! alldred, jackman, corey, the dongster, david, and spencer getting his PR of 10.887!

tentatively planning on another sesh tomorrow morning, 7 a.m., depends on what happens at the CSA pizza -n- brews tonight.

cheers
