I'm in,
Where are you starting? I only know to park at the park on Lake street.

My SS is in the shop but I have a real niffty C-dale to ride. No suspension, pre-v brakes, mom seat & reflectors.

Sloth knows the trails pretty well. I'm pretty sure we're meeting at Lake Street, if anything changes I'll let you know.

Mr Hobbs and Graham(sp?) absolutely killed it, when we were finished, well not really we, but when FatWhat? and I were finished and back at the cars, Graham decides he hasn't had enough....and heads back out.
Conditions were near perfect, we didn't run across many other riders, only two I think. I'm ashamed of myself as I didn't even take the camera out to snap off some pics, I was too busy gasping for air and sweating my nards off trying to keep up with the pros...by the way, sorry for holding you guys up, and thanks for being gracious about it, I had a blast. One of these days when I think my chops are up, I'll have to visit on a lunch ride up there with you guys...it might be awhile though. Again, thanks for coming down riding, it was great.

Let me guess, Tony showed up with his mom’s big bike; I’d say 1989 vintage with reflectors, big Mama gel seat and 100% alloy kick stand and maybe even some degree of rust on the squeaky chain. A camera would have been good to have captured a picture of this vintage iron.

I’m sure you were thinking that this guy is a spode and it’s going to be fun to watch him eat my dust.

I bet I know what happened next……..

Didn't notice the older bike until after he destroy us on a few of the hills. Talk about a reality check! Here is a guy on an old school Cannondale kicking the crap out of me around every turn. We'll have to make him ride a BMX bike next time to level the playing field

My mom is pissed about the bike, I guess I bent the kick stand. LOL

That was some good fun. No one was holding me up, just out for a good ride. Thanks for the tour guys.
I'm sure Graham went out and bent himself around telephone pole after we left.
That's just his style.

Hot off the wire.....Graham did go out and take a spill after the ride.
It's like I've seen this movie before.

I hope he's alright....maybe it was a low impact crash while climbing that steep a$$ fireroad? Or was it a high speed descent coming down off the fireroad?
