Title: Monday and Tuesday weekly rides are moving up to earlier time
Post by: Dmitri on March 17, 2008, 09:05:11 AM
In order to maximize the ride time in the day light, and potentially elliminate the need for th elights, I'm moving my two rides, monday and tuesday from 6 PM to 5:30.
Same location, Valley Green Inn parking lot.
The sunset is at about 7:10 PM, so count on about 1:40 long ride. If you brin gyour lights, feel free to continue after the sunset.

Someone was LATE today ???  I was on my way to VG and snapped a derailleur hangar doing about 25mph down Knarly Trail (behind Valley Green) It was nuts, all I hear is a loud "BANG" and I look down (while bombing the hill  ;D) and I see my new Shamano XT flapping in the wind... Luckily I had a spare hangar and changed it out and proceeded to have an epic ride with some PMBA fellas. The SS crew were all waiting for the ride leader, who was mysteriously late. Hope you had a good ride D!  :-* 

P.S. The derailleur took a really hard smack and was fine, perfect actually, after some screw adjustments. Thanks for the tutorial Karl!

P.P.S. Hunter had my allen key wrench the whole time!  :o

It was pretty sweet last night. I tried to tell the boys not to wait but they kept waiting for me. We had the Wind, Dmitri, the Cheetah, Chuck, the Bullet Train, Max, the SR71 Blackbird, Shaun, the Ferrari, John, and the Oil Tanker, me.

And a special thanks to John who lit the path in the darkness.

Tonight, if it's ridable, no waiting.
