If you're interested in the night ride tomorrow night make sure to check here before leaving.  If the weather at all holds out.....hopefully someone will update us on the conditions tomorrow......I am hell-bent on riding.  My hope is that it will be cold enough to harden up the trails a bit or quit this stuff now and maybe drain enough by tomorrow night.  I will, either way, post a note here by 6:30 so that you will know if it is on or not.  See you tomorrow.....hopefully.   Huh

The trails look good so the night ride is still on.  Let me know if you plan on coming out so I have an idea who to expect.

Don't think I can make it tonight.  I have stuff to do at home and will also be leaving work late this week. 

Hopefully, I can make it out one of these nights.  I'll let you know ahead of time.  I thought you said you had an extra light to lend me if I came out, right?

I do have a light you can use.  Hopefully someone else can make it tonight, but I'll ride anyway.  I'll plan on seeing you next week then.

Cool.  I have already forewarned the future Mrs. that I will be out biking next Wednesday night.

Awesome.  I talked to a few people last night so hopefully we can get a little momentum for the 7:30 ride.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it out on Wednesday night.  I have a viewing to attend on Wednesday morning, which, in turn, means I will have to work later to make up the time.

Hopefully next week I will make it out.

I'm in for tonight ~ preference is Pavillion start, 6:00, 7:30 or maybe both.  Although xmas cookies and beer may have something to say about double ride.

I guess we need to see what time works for everyone.  I know that 7:30 works better for John and Rico but neither can make it tonight so I'd rather join you guys if you're going at 6.  First, if anyone would rather go at 7:30 let me know and I could do that also.  Second, if I join you at 6, where is the Pav?  I think I know what you're talking about but not sure.

The Pavillion is at Pachella Field which is at the intersection of Livezey Lane and Henry Ave in Roxborough. Hope to see you there Dustin. Call me at 215-817-9271 if you need directions.

Ok, once I looked at it on a map I knew exactly where it is.  I was confused because I was thinking of Livezy Ln on the other side of the park.  See you there.

Nice!  Don't forget to take notes about those gnarly Fixed and Variable Cost Ratios and the Applied vs. Actual Overhead!!!!!

After the ride I'm going to see if I can get my wife to go 'over my head', is that what you mean by overhead?  I don't know about all that other stuff!

Dudes, that was an awesome ride! Me, Dustin, JOHN, Tom, Nick, Fletcher, Kman and Max joined in at the top of Demo 1. Killer! Thanks for waiting for my flat repair. Fletch, thanks for making me kill my rear wheel on that rock chute.  Tongue

Last nights ride was seriously awesome!  I've never taken those trails before(I must follow the rules for some reason) but those trails were very good.  I'll have to hit them in the daylight sometime so I actually can see what I'm doing!  Any rides this weekend?  I'm available all weekend long except for early because I plan to binge drink!

I want and try to ride after the Trail Maintenance on Saturday if I'm not wiped out.  If not, I'd like to try and get out on Sunday.

Guys, thanks for a fun ride last night.

Suggestion for next week - everyone needs to bring a black dog along with them!

Also, how many more of those rides till I earn my "mountaineering merit badge"?

Yeah, I'm up for a slow ride after the TMD on Saturday, if I can move after all that work.  Wink

I may try and ride on Sunday too.

I may not be able to make any Wednesday night rides for a while.  I have something to do with the future Mrs. every Wednesday starting next week for, I think, 6 weeks.  Damn wedding stuff! Sad

If there ever is a later Thursday or Tuesday night ride, I may be up for that.  Or I could do the Monday 7:30 Lincoln Drive ride.

I gotta go out and get a cheap light for my bike and helmet.
