Title: snow ride (slow ride) wednesday night (3-7-07)?
Post by: max on March 06, 2007, 11:43:29 AM
hey with the snow coming wednesday i am hoping to get out afterwork for a little mtb fun in the white stuff.

of course this is all dependent on the amount and condition of said white stuff but if there is a couple inches and it stays frozen we could potentially have lots of fun out there.

anybody up for a little action? i ain't spun the tires on dirt in a couple weeks now. i am thinking as early as possible after work (i am game for 5:30 or so) but i'd also wait on folks if they really waned to come out but can't make it till later.

but as i said this whole thing could fall apart depending on how the snow falls.

oh and also my singlespeed fork is gettin repainted so i'll be riding a 45lb freeride bike.... i will be plenty anytime the hills point up slow if you have your doubts about keeping up. if anything i'd wear an extra layer to avoid freezing while having to wait for me...

so???? anyone????  ;D

Max, I'd be so there on my freeride bike to keep you company on the grinding climbs and fast downs. Unfortunetely I have to go out of town.

It's cold, the snow is powdery, the trails will be frozen and fast, the snow will look pretty. I'm so jealous...

Whoever goes, enjoy a great ride!!!

hey i am out of work @ 2:45 and will check my computer once more about 3:30 - 4.

so if you want to do this post up before then.

also if'n you can make it down earlier i'd be up for meeting as soon as 4:30.

then we could even ride a bit with no lights before darkness.
