Heh heh.

Strut tubes are only $1400 from the dealer. Used sets are closer to $500/pair. Still expensive but not ridiculous.

Plus....go off track in regular e30 and you really need to screw up to bend the strut tubes. Not all that big an issue.

I lol'd hard. My original comment wasn't directed at you ;)

Dudes the forecast for the weekend just changed. I might have to go hang gliding on Saturday now because that's when everyone is going and I need a driver to fly the site (it's at 10000 feet). I would bag it, but I have a comp coming up in a month and every second I can get in the air is invaluable. If I can't make it I can post a map of the best loop for everyone do to or we can move it to Sunday. I'd rather not inconvenience everyone so I'm happy to post a detailed map and description. Let me keep an eye on the forecast.

Disregard this post I'm in for the bike ride. Noon on Saturday. See you there.

I can't do Sunday, going to the Auto show.

So what's the plan? If there is no "instructor" I might just go somewhere closer to Golden to save gas.

I brought my bike down, so I wanna ride.... Just depending on who with and where.. and when

[Cloudbase]

Brad, I'm in. Disregard my previous post. The forecast is too questionable to be worth bailing on the ride. The ridge between short waves is hitting the mountains today. I bet it's sunny and beautiful in Boulder (unlike Kalispel). Saturday the winds are going to build all day ahead of the next trough. It's too much of a gamble to drive all the way to the mountains and I don't need my first flight in 3 months to be at a high density altitude site with high winds. There is no worse feeling beings stuck in the air, parked on a mountain top, unable to get down.

12:00PM at the Marshall Mesa Trail head. See you guys there!

I started a sign up sheet on the first post so we don't leave without anyone. If you aren't coming please post to let us know.

[blefevre]

Sounds good, I will be there.

[Bimmerman325i]

Shit, 12? Ffffuuuu. Found out today the machine shop for senior projects is opening tomorrow from 10-2, and we need the machine ime. Any way we can do 230? I need to be in the shop for those hours if possible.

Im a maybe at best, but will likely have to sit this one out.

[blefevre]

Just ask greg nicely to let you open it at 8 or something and just go early.

[blefevre]

Well, I may or may not be there. One of the hex bolts on the existing pedal was somewhat stripped and I tried to loosen it but it just got worse. I am going to try to take it to a shop in the morning to get it off. Hopefully I have some luck.

[Cloudbase]

Brad if it doesn't work call me in the morning I have pedal wrench we can get it off with. I got an extra set of SPD pedals you can borrow too. PM'd you my number.

[E30four]

Sorry to bail. But I was feeling like crap.
