Words to live (and ride) by

[KenN]

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
Than it should be stifled by dryrot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
Every atom of me in magnificent glow,
That a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

Who can name the author?

Jack London.

The line that works for me is "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist."

Speaking of which, I gots to get my crap packed up now. My aching muscles are about to encounter "Massage Therapy" and other Eagle Mtn. terrors.

are you familiar with eagle trails? i want to ride up there again, but have no idea where anything is. i'm more interested in the intermediate stuff though.

I used to live at the base of Eagle and I know about 1/2 of the guys building trail up there (actually, riding with a coupla them today). Yeah, I know the trails there!

Basically, the higher up you go, the tougher the trails are. We're hitting up the double black plus stuff today, but there are a few good intermediate trails (depending on one's definition of 'intermediate' :D ). Also, some of the best XC in the area is around Eagle/Buntzen.

I can keep ya posted when we're doing a more 'toned down' ride! (heh)

What's on Eagle?

[gooch]

It can be summed up in two words "Carpe Diem"

That phrase is so cheesy and cliche it just makes me mad when I hear it.

" when in doubt, air it out"
