b.i.g.gins- sorry your solo'ed that ride. You should have called me! i feel really bad. we should ride this week for shizzle.
Anyway- i'm up for anyday this week. i'm super sore from my EXTREME GNAR BURGERS riding this weekend, but i could definitely be talked into riding.
No worries- again, my fault for skipping out of work early.Quote:

I'm going for a night ride on Tuesday at 9pm. Going with two friends who are racing on Sunday (some 24 hour race) and need to get some practice with night riding. Anyone is welcome to join. I'm out for Tuesday right after work though.Quote:

Cantdog, how was the loaner?
bigs- let me know if you're up for riding tonight. I would have to go back to my house to get my bike, but could meet there around 630...
also, my phone works now.

I think I like a hardtail for the fells though.
I have to go for a run tonight (race is on Sunday).Quote:

Night-riding, sweet.
So the morning is out, and I assume then so is Cant.
Franz- shall we say 6pm at the Fells? Lets communicate tom. to make sure plans still work.
Get ready for a ride with Slowy McSlowerson ;)
Some pictures from the Fells today (Wednesday). Biggins, see you tomorrow (Parking Lot #9?).

Seems like Boston mags are brewing some good ol' Granny's weak sauce for this week. Today is a no go at the moment unless disko and cant step in for biggins.
I'm out from Friday to Monday due to a NYC trip and moving stuff, but next Tuesday is an option.
Damn, just saw this thread... But it looks like all you cats know eachother. Im not sure Im good enough to ride with spandex and come sausage eaters anyway... :tdo13:
No, we only know each other from the interweb ... until we met skiing/riding. Feel free to come along next time, we don't bite.Quote:

Come along sometime to the Fells.
As for spandex- no one needs to see me wearing spandex- ever. I'll leave that to Cantdog and the roadies of the world. Come sausage, that's a carefully guarded secret recipe.
Oh and Diskoskigirl is the rock star of our bunch, but she rides a rusty antique big wheel bike that falls apart all the time so she's easy to keep up with.
jazzles- i want to see you in purple spandex on our next ride or else.
my big wheels is out of control rad.

Wul snap. If you can show us where to park and guide us around 'Nam we'll come out there!Quote:

Never rode Bedford b'fo. Sounds good.
Guys, I have IKEA-itis (i.e. moving syndrome) and I'm off to Europe for some conferences on Thursday. Plenty to look forward to when I return on September 3rd. See you all soon!
Franz- sorry I've been so lame lately. We are also moving and will be back up on bikes (hopefully Bill too) after September 1. We'll definitely get out more in the fall- and I'm looking forward to some sweet night rides for sure.
Word. Same here. Gotta get the missus to make good on her promise to buy a bike too, that would reduce my bail-quotient significantly.Quote:

Jazzles- it might be just me and you this week and knowing our track record, that isn't very promising. Let's try to get out at least once. I haven't been on my bike since last Saturday and that's just wrong. Lemme know.
maybe a ride this weekend? I'll be back up.
Bill back on the bike? Did he get the bone stimulator?
boner stimulator has arrived. He'll know about biking on 8/31...
Give me a call when you get back up this weekend. Not sure what our plans are, but I'll def be up for something if we are around.
I was just lookin at a topo map of the Fells... I dont think Ive ever ridden much farther than Silver Mine Hill (I parked down by the tower)--looks like theres plenty more woods to the north...
I also didnt realize that there is quite a bit of real estate on the east side of 93. Are there any trails over there? If so, are they linked to the west side at all?
The Spot Pond trail connects the east and west sides of the Fells. We usually stay on the West side on the Orange/white loop, which has some fun little techy sections and some decent downhill sections as well.
Just watch out for the crazy woman and her 4 lb attack dog named snowball.
Sounds good--I might be driving up in a pimp new Volvo 240GL wagon.Quote:
