We have the regular Thursday ride headed out from Valley Green at 6pm. Helmets mandatory and rain cancels. I'll be leaving from my place around 5 so if anyone wants to go earlier let me know.  I'll pick up with the regular group at 6.

For those looking to try out Belmont instead check out Dirtmerchant's post.

We'll get down to Belmont one Thursday later this summer.

As usual, the regular Thursday ride will leave from VG area at about 6 PM tonight.  All levels are welcome - even newbies, of which we've had a few in the last few weeks.

As my work softball league is coming to an end tonight, I need to get my newbie a$$ out to one of these rides sometime in August.

Jon - where do you park?  Just wondering due to the previous threads here and on mtbr.com about the car break-ins.

The regular Thursday ride will be out tonight - 6 PM at Valley Green.

Rico - sorry I missed your email last week.  I park in the lot off of Henry Ave and Wises Mill Rd, not the one in front of Valley Green Inn.  That's because it's more convenient for me, not because I think it's safer.  I just try to follow normal precautions about leaving things visible in the car.  I also stow stuff before I get there, since the thieves who broke into Bob's daughter's car apparentely saw her put her purse in her trunk.

Regular Thursday ride out of VG at 6pm. But check this, Donna M and I are going to be heading to the Wiggard Rd. entrance at 5pm for some intermediate skills work.

Wiggard is one stop north of Livezy just past the fields. It's where the Boy Scouts entrance is, and it leads in right to the demo trail directly above Valley Green.

Wiggard trail has some rocks and a few small logs we can pull out to practice on. What we'll have is a half-mile loop that scoots down the demo trail jumps, onto the rolley part for a bit, then left onto the wiggard trail for the logs. We can ride the whole thing back and forth or just loop up to the fields for easy recovery and keep hitting the demo hill jumps going down hill.

It will be a good confidence builder for intermediate riders, but if any of your experts or crazies want to come out and offer pointers, please do.

I'll try to get there a little early and meet up with you guys.  I can use the practice, plus it's fun riding with Donna!

yo Saw,  we did that trail down Lincoln Drive which was cool. Road the path back then up the single track and back along the same trail toward the pavilion. Riders bailed at their respective places.

I have no idea what happened with your endo incident because I was about a mile back.

It looks like some rain is going to blow through soon. Hopefully the park will dry out before 5.
