The Non-Toady Ride

[Von-Skipp]

Im NOT planning on the Toads fest this Saturday. So I'd like to get a long ride in Saturday to get ready for the 24. Any of the endurance long distance climbers want to join me???? NOT A BEGINNERS RIDE!!

Im thinking of Harding Motorway.

I did this ride with Steve before the Counting Coup and it did not feel like 7,000ft of ascent.

Im up for anything else too. ride2live are you still racing solo??

Yeah, but when you designed the course, walked every inch of it and know it like the back of your hand.....honing of skills not to important.

However, when it gets dark back there.....it gets dark. No lights from the city shining back there and we are a long way from a full moon.

What time would you want to start? I'm interested in something like that.

Hey Kipper & Pshloss,

Another long hot ride today...

Had a huge turn-out of Pete(Pshlos), Mark(outlaw) and myself(intensekipp). We did the our planned ride of Harding, Motorway, MapleSprings, Harding. Like it always is, the dang paved section of MS sucks, I thought I was gona overheat and pass out. Otherwise good ride, no flats no crashes...

Thanks for joining me Pete and Mark

Hey Gonz, we saw your car parked at MS

How did all you guys fit on the trail Von Skip?!?! Were the flies out in full force up there? They were not too annoying on HJ or MD, but they were making their presence felt.

[pshloss]

I didn't think the flies were too bad. But the sun combined with LOTS of climbing took its toll on us "older" folk. I had a little bit of cramping- while pedaling, which was a first for me.
