Default Vail Trails

I am aware of Two Elks but has anyone ridden Grand Traverse
/ Cougar Mountain trail? I'm looking for a good 20+ miler
last week of July.

From sea level to 12,000 ft? Sounds like a medical miracle
to me. Bring lots of friends and ride the real comando run.

I do this every year. I'm out there for work and get a day
or two to play. I've done the DH stuff, and I don't have an
interest in that anymore. I can handle the altitude
adjustment. I did the Kokopelli one day after landing. No
breathing problems.

You should do the comando run then. Remember to prevent
H.A.F.E. use Deet. Bring a needle for you pericardial
tamponade. (sp)

Yeah, if I got shuttled up the Dewey climb, I'd have no
breathing problems either. You didn't do the Kokopelli if
you didn't ride the whole route.

Yeah, he should. Though I have a feeling that his version of
HAFE comes in the form of halitosis because of all of the
crap he talks.

Onion Creek wasn't a half bad climb for someone from the
"flatlands". I'll take what I can get. As far as I am
concerned, I did it and that makes me happy. I don't have
to impress anyone else other than myself. You should
understand that.

I was going to reply to this, but it just isn't worth my
time or effort on you, Jerome.

Onion Creek isn't the Kokopelli Trail. Your flase claim that
you rode the Kokopelli Trail is just that, false. You may
have ridden *on* the Kokopelli Trail, but you did not *ride*
it because you didn't ride all of it. Anyone with half of a
brain should be able to understand that.

Either way, I am happy with what I accomplished.

Aw, I don't take it to heart. He's done that a lot to other
people. I actually find it quite amusing. I really would
like to ride with him one day. He knows some out of the way
trails and is a very good rider. Might even be able to teach
me a few things. From what others have told me, this is just
his Internet persona.

So why the facade?

There was a time when JD would actually email Webtv users
asking them not to forsake posting even though they were
being belittled by some regulars for improper nettiquet and
posting via Webtv. I was one of those who was emailed on
several occasions asking me to stay and "join him" (he was
on webtv at the time). Now he does a complete 180 and it's
all in the name of having an "internet personna". It's
getting as old and repetitive as Mike V's ramblings.

Well nobody is perfect and neither you nor him are on WebTV,
so why not end the bitterness. I learned long ago that some
battles are just not winnable, expecially on the Internet.
This is a faceless and personalityless mode of conversation.
Anyone can be whomever they want to be and you have no
control over it. Why not just go with the flow and
occassionally learn a thing or two. Just throw out the
retoric you don't like.

I am not saying I agree with the way JD acts, but there is
nothing you can do about so life goes on.

I apologized to JD before to end this crap but it seems he
or his internet personna will not let it go. I did my part.
Must be some macho thing.
