Thanks Neil. It was fun to finally get some dirt miles on this bike. I had a blast!

Thanks for the heads up Keith. Glad they didn't break into my car, I had my 3rd row seats folded up. I hear the seats are the hottest items stolen out of cars now. Jose, no worries about suggesting Roscoe's. That place rocks, the sandwiches were great. Unfortunately we couldn't get the folk singer to take a longer break.

Nice to meet new people, sorry if I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. It was a pretty big group and a lot of you looked familiar. As said before, we're usually there every Thurs night, all are welcome. Maybe we will call it Dino Brown's Thursday Loop, unless Steven Jackson has objections.

HAHA, damn pizza cutters! I couldn't turn and I forgot that Neil set this bike up for moto style brakes with the front on the right hand side

At least the pile of leaves cushioned my fall

been there done that on brakes... I am a moto guy myself and for the life of me I could never get used to the brakes backwords. I had go back to normal after a few face plants from the panic squeezes.

Last night I saw Jose ride by and squeeze the brake and I couldn't figure out why your rear skidded... Just didn't click upstairs.

But Steve... I have to admit, I have never seen anyone crash on the Fully Loop. Atleast you did it with style and in a soft spot.

Steve crashed too? Or do you mean me...Rob?

I have to admit that Rob's crash was classic. It just looked like you forgt to turn, and then the slow motion roll over. Reminded me of the ol "Laugh In", with the guy on the tricycle. Funny. So that's what I look like from behind, almost as bad as the front. Never seen so many pix of my butt.
Thanks Neil.

Well Mike your rear is shapely oohhhh wait a minute....which forum am I on??
Try to be nice and post up some pix and see what I get, nothing I tell ya, nothing!
Wish I had not missed Rob's crash but maybe next time!

I have to remember to clip out

This was like the second time riding in the dirt using clips

I took about half the ride to get reaquainted with the old bike's shifting and the toe clips. There is no climbing in the middle ring with Biopace!
I was on the ridge watching you go down and then almost went down myself. Lost my balance on the ridge edge and then couldn't get out of the pedals quick enough.
