I think I might be able to stop by very quick (wife and I might be passing through heading back to Stockton). I'll text ya either way.

I thought that was the greatest idea the first time I did it (if you haven't met me, gravity and I...erm... don't get along very well). Took a gnarly spill one time and broke my arm (warning: don't borrow a custom bike if the owner is left handed, read: front & rear brakes are swapped  )

Hehe it's a blast! Yeah, fit the bike before you head up. Glad ur okay. Make sure you ask the employees which route is for beginners. I borrowed a cannondale lefty...mind boggling. Couldn't wrap myself around a 1-sided fork. I cracked a helmet once...slow impact. After a few hours of rehabilitating myself, went back to the rental place and I was greeted with open arms and a couple extra benji's in my pocket. I think they got scared. I just wanted to go buy my own ff helmet. They gave me one free and the next day's ride was free too. Man I love ma 'n pa shops, gotta help the little guy too.
