Speaking of the train track and Loop demo, that area is under major construction.

Not a bad a$$. Just doin what I gotta do. Besides, being slow is physical and will improve, quitting is mental and will never change

How about each day has its own trail? Thursday seems to be Loop day but there is still Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the weekend!

First time out with all of you but not the last. Had a good time on the trail, meeting some of you and always enjoy the beers afterwards.

It was cool to finally meet you guys/girls(putting faces and bikes to the screen names)...too bad I won't be able to do this ride again for a while...

Like the rocket scientist I am, I put on the dew rag and thought I'd put my helmet on. So like the idiot I am I took off to lead the ride and then after we crossed Euclid ,George and Justin both mentioned my helmet or lack of, before I reached up and touched my empty head and low and behold I was helmet less until I think Cathy said there's a helmet in that tree, so I figured a little protection is better then none at all. Plus it was the Loop and as everyone knows, no one ever gets hurt at the Loop.

Jordan- A little history about the Thursday Night Fully Loop Ride... It existed looooooong before the members of STR decided to make it their "weekly" ride. If the ride were rotated to a different trail, what you would be left with are (2) Thursday Night Rides! Not good. PM me if you ever want to ride the Loop.

As for Mike's shiny yellow helmet- two rivets, two velcro straps and he is ready to roll!!! Any chance we will see the helmet next week?

No wonder everyone was wondering if I was ok or not. I just wrecked but was standing there with a stoopid grin on my mug.

It's too bad I work Thurs. nights. Oh well, I can always ride and be late to work like I did a few weeks ago. I'll try and come out next week. Just $uck$ I can't hang out afterwards with you all. Would anyone be up for a Fully loop Mon edition in the future?

I'm off on Mondays, so anytime is good. We'll have to see how many are interested in a Mon loop.
