I am in but not till mid-Feb. 16th or 23rd weekends?

Holy shit!  That place is awesome.

I've been dying to go check that place out!

Yo - check out the schedule on their home page - LADIES ONLY DAY Friday Feb 22nd and that weekend is Ladies ride FREE!

Of course I am talking about the 'Ladies' of PMBA... any of you interested in coming?

All of you who thought that I was just thinking single minded thought of many free-riding ladies in one location must be... well just that!  :-\

I'm in.

 ;D

Nick and I talked about this again Wed night and he is in and so am I. I will drive and he offered also. We should leave friday as early as possible: noon and maybe 3pm before rush hour. Arrive in Cleveland by 9pm. OR, we can get a hotel in Pittsburgh and party there Friday night. BAR 11 anyone!?!?!? Come home Sunday 2/24 be home by 9pm.

Also, I may run out there before 2/22 becasue I wanna road trip and ride that shit!

Cool. Obviously I will drive as well if needed so that gives us plenty of space for bodies and bikes. I can fit four in my cab comfortably, five or even six if we wanted to be real cozy. Maybe be should put this on the event schedule so people can register. All aboard!

Hate to break this to everyone... this is February's TMD!
Unless it become canceled for some weird reason...

Umm, err, due to unforseen circumstances, the Feb TMD has been cancelled. How's that for the press release?

O. umm. I'm not sure if we can cancel the tmd for a road trip. Ok what's the new road trip date? We still have to go.

HEY everyone, it looks like this ROAD TRIP is on! I think we are leaving Friday late afternoon. Speak up if you want to go.

It's Dirt Rag's Ladies weekend at Rays.

don't get there too early though because it looks like Ladies only on Friday till 4pm; and free for ladies all weekend...

A friend of mine, Michelle Johnson, should be there.

That was a great time. It's safe to say that we mountainbikers are a rare breed as many a men (or women) would not have survived that weekend without medical attention. Good times.

and that includes the riding...

sorry i missed it; hope you all had a blast

Pictures?  We want pictures!

Yeah, ditto what Jon said.....WE WANT PICS!!!!

We have pics and some helmet cam footage but it needs to be sorted out. I wish someone would have captured my high speed crash into a barrier that apparently bruised or fractured my ribs cause I'm not moving too well right now. All worth it.

Just hit Rays for 4 hours out of the blue since I was in Cleveland area for bus. Place is INSANE! I had to stop many times to catch my breath. Having not ridden in 2-3 weeks my ass is sore!

Nick, did you hit the XC loop. Fast sweeping right hand corner turn drops down from the rafters to the floor into that low ladder bridge area on the right. That's where I crashed, slid into the left barrier as I was coming down with no brakes.

Still haven't seen any pictures.  We don't believe that anyone really went out there.

I found this on mtbr.com

So if you want to see proof from people that were actually there.....   ;)

We have a DVD in hand but it is long and needs to be edited. Then we may be able to post a vid on the site. But I don't think anyone took still shots... Sucks but we were having so much fun riding we never thought of it...
