11/13/2007 I have to travel for work again and cannot make it this week. Last weeks ride was awesome.  Hopefully someone else can step up and lead. Have a good ride.

It's too bad you had to bail Lou. We had a great ride in the snow. It slows you down a little bit but it's fun. We fell a lot. Nothing too bad though mostly slow speed sliders. There was one were I was sliding sideways right at a tree and almost T-boned it. I ended up off trail and down a sideslope. Good times.

One word of advice, learn how to ride on flat pedals if you are going out in the snow. It's better cause cleats get clogged very easy in the snow. Forgot to swap my pedals and was fighting with the clipless (spd).

12/12/2007 It may be too wet to ride tonight. I tried to ride last night and had to bail because it was like peanut butter.

Yeah I took a look at the trails on the southwest end of the park last night, and they are very messy and not for riding. They're going to need at *least* 2-3 solid days with zero precipitation of any kind before they're ok again and unfortunately I don't think those days are to come in the near future.

I brought my road bike (fixed gear) to work today in Bala Cynwyd and am riding Kelly drive after work and probably around the city, stopping for something to eat like a sandwich, whatever.  I get out of work at 4 and am usually riding by 4:20 or so.  If anyone wants to join me let me know.  I could leave here and ride toward Manayunk to meet up with anyone.

By the way I really like this fixed gear and it's great cross training.  I've only been out on it 4-5 times and I already notice that on the mountain bike I switch gears less and work through stuff, and climb easier.  Also, it teaches you to pedal in a circle more.  Great for this time of year when the trails are wet.  And the bikes don't cost that much either.  Plus, the whole simplicity of it is so cool...so much flow and zen to the ride.  You don't even know there is a drive train, it's like you are the wheel.  No noise, direct connection.  Hard to describe unless you do it.  But I like....

Sometimes we will plan urban assault rides on our mountainbikes when the trails are a mess. Can be fun finding cool gaps and staircases around the city. There's one parking garage where you can take the elevator up and bomb down the spiral ramp nonstop, leaning into the curves. Good times. I don't own any road bikes and I really don't plan on buying one any time soon. If I could commute to work that would be sweet but until then it's mountainbikes only in my garage.

So looks like tonights wiss ride is off. I'm gonna work on the house and get ready for the party this weekend.

12/19/2007 Good ride tonight. I love night riding but can't wait for spring. Biggest reason is the wetness. The trails on the southwest corner of the park (Roxy side) are pretty moist not good for users. Not terrible but definetely not good. The trails on the east side (Mount Airy) are drier as usual and good for all users. If your gonna head out to the trail you may wanna stick to that side of the park.
