Happy T-Day all. I think someone's trying to get a ride going in the morning. see Turkey Trot

I will probably go for a very short ride from Livezy around 2-2:30 to burn off an early Turkey Dinner. Drop me a line if you wanna go.

A couple of us are going to catch a movie in the late afternoon/early evening. I  haven't been to the movies in over 2 years so I figure it's time.  I'm thinking Quantum of Solace (Bond) at 4:40 at the Regal in Plymouth Meeting. The 4:40 time would hopefully beat some of the evening crowd. 

If any of you cats are feeling lonesome and want to share that wholesome movie experience, see ya there. We might hit the Keswick Tavern or some place after. You can purchase movie tickets at Fandango:

And don't forget Jon's Fairhill ride on Friday; also mentioned in the Turkey Trot thread.

friday could work for me, i am not advanced mtber, and have never mtb in wissahickson

i am visiting inlaws and want to cycle friday and or saturday, i did ceres last time i visted them, but am stoked about checking out wissahickson, and maybe entice them to meet me at manayunk apres mtb


sounds good to me,

do you have gps coords where you are meeting, and is this and advacned mtb ride only?

That does sound useful, Jon. So how many miles have you logged this year? Does it give you that kind of info? Does it also tally your total elevation?

I cannot make it this week. I've injured my calf muscle and need to rest it. So if you plan on driving over don't park inside the gate because I will not be there to let you out. Parking on Livezey across the street is good. It's also legal to park on Henry ave.

See you next week. I've been reading up on my crock-pot recipes.

Still planning for Fair Hill on Friday.  11 AM at the NORTH Appleton Road parking lot. 

There's also a shareware program called SportTracks that I use with my Forerunner to track every ride that I take .  You can download the GPS directly into it and it creates a calendar-based log showing location, distance, elevation change, and the route on either a Google Earth or Google Maps depiction.  Very useful.

Then why haven't you registered?

I have had the Garmin 305 and the now the new 605. But really set up for a bike, not great unless your hold it. The Garmin GPS watches have come a long way, and with a handlebar mount, you can tale it hiking or biking.

Check out Motionbased.com  You can upload your tracks to view tons of information and pictures (even 'live motion"), and download tracks into your unit for trying out new trails.

I would suggest trying it out on trails you are familier with first. I had it on during a race, and it went haywire from a preride back-track the week before. My fault, not the units

Yo Gerry - Sounds like fun

grew up 2 minutes form the park, went there sledding when it did snow around here,
as kids we rode in the back of the park not great trails just fun for a kid,

amazing that Ryers leaves the ground in his will to used as a park and the city sells/leases the ground
right out from under the people who use it ( baseball, soccer, golf driving range) .

they killed another open space in the city , when they could of knocked down blocks of abandon homes
that the city has tons of.
