Sean, Wyatt and I are in!
We have my nephews b-day party on Saturday at 11am, we'll leave right after.
Might make it for a run.
Is there enough shuttle vehicles? Should we bring the truck along with the van?
Is the camping under your name T? We would want to book a site fairly close.

I am not certain how talented everyone is here but I am new to biking and I need to get out and more experience. There arent very many members here but I am in search of venues so if this is a private thing let me know

Hey Cynthia... its nice to see you on the forum. your more then welcomed! This is not a sanctioned Downhill Diva ride, just a bunch of people getting together. The people responding so far have a few years experience in Downhill riding. The only thing i remember about mount 7 is two major steep sections. The rest sort of fluctuates between intermediate and advanced..but according to a friend who just called while im typing this, you could get off your bike for and walk if needed. I guess you could always just try a run.

AWESOME!! WELCOME Cynthia!! We are all very easy going riders and welcome women of all levels and abilities!! The great thing about our group of gals is there seems to be an expert in everything so you will have a ton of brains to pick! T- is WICKED on skinny stuff and it seems Maddy and Heather will throw themselves off just about anything! We'll book our site later today!

This sounds like fun, I've never been to Mt 7 before. When is everyone leaving? Also, if the BF comes, is there somewhere he can rent a bike?

Have the plans for this weekend changed?
I did hear the weather in Golden will be crappy...Sean mentioned Swansea?? Shane was looking into camping options around Windermere??
What's the skinny?? ;D

Man its awsome so many are coming out!
A couple of people have reservations at the goldenadventurepark campgrounds. Im guessing if theres crap weather later in the weekend we may do a daytrip out to invermere from our basecamp or who knows.
Dont know if cell phones will work, but if you want to touch base to see where we are at through the weekend my number is 403 978 4682.
Also feel free to send me your number if you want someone to try to call you if anyone is heading away from mount 7 on any of those days.

'ellooooo! Our group has 4 campsites booked at the GEAR campground (website listed earlier). We are in sites 61, 63, 65 and 66 right now I believe (all side by side). The weather is definitely not looking 100% right now; however, Shane really wanted to get out and camp. Even if we're hanging by the campfire under tarps having non stop happy hour all day, all should be good! Mel, don't know where you could rent a DH bike...maybe call a couple shops in town there? I don't think most places rent them tho...?

We'll be heading out friday morning.. We are in site 61, and all game for daytrips or hanging out if the weather blows. Just getting the 77 Beachcomber out for our first camping trip with it will be a laugh.

Great w/e in Golden! 15 adults and 7 kids in our group at the campground! Most of us just rode laps of 5 k all day, it was excellent! You can't quite drive up to the 10 k yet, but very soon!! And congratulations to B & Scott on the arrival of the newest rider on the junior team...Lily!!

yup lots of fun - and met some great gals out there too! Pretty interesting having Becca and Scott leave mid weekend to have their baby - im sure Lily will chuckle at the comedy and coolness with that too one day.
