    Hey. Yes, very lame season indeed...But I've been riding Baker every weekend they've been open thanks to some buddies with comfy couches in B-ham. The Summit is opening West on Friday and Alpental on Saturday but I fully intend to skip out on work there to ride at Baker. I'm getting over a nasty cold and haven't decided about Friday yet but if you guys are for sure going I might consider it!

    I don't go to school with Nick anymore but our paths do cross occasionally, I'll pass on the "hi" the next time they do.

    P.S. I was all trendy and ended up with a subaru instead ;)!
