    That's not my Swedish shock pump, or instruction manual and warranty card filled out by Hoosierdaddy!!

    Just a reminder... get yourself hydrated! You should be drinking LOTS of water before this ride, which means all weekend long. It's very important to keep hydrated on long and hot rides, this means way before the ride! A couple of days before the ride is best. Drink, drink, and drink some more!!!

    I'm bringing my bike and gear with me. I'm usually home before 8am. But instead of waiting for the employee shuttle to me to the parking lot, I'll have my truck at the short term lot, so I can get a 10 min jump. I should be there by 8 or sooner. I can call you or CC when I'm close.

    Well I couldn't disappoint you guys, so the answer is Yes!
    I will have "sodas" ;) and water, but not sure if the water will have room in the icechest as the sodas have first priority!

    I was planning to do the ride with a couple of newbie friends, but i doubt i can make the new start time. I'm on my fifth shot of Patron so getting up at six isn't too appealing.

    oh well, this was a fun ride too.

    SAR boats,

    Thanks for putting this ride on - I couldn't make the first one.

    I'll be riding with my 12 year old she's a pretty tough rider. Not sure she's ridden 17 miles yet. I am not sure how she will do with this hot weather. We just got back from riding and she's sleeping. It's nice but unusal.

    Anyway if it gets tough for her I'll be riding back with her. No need for anyone to ride out with us. We wouldn't be happy if we cut someone's ride short.

    Is this trail easy to get in and out?

    I think she's a little nervous she's been asking me about the trails. Also asking what kind of hills she will be climbing.

    Gene - I looked at the pictures and I can see I'll be hiking with the bike.

    -Elvia

    I'm sure you'll have plenty of company hiking. I give new meaning to the word 'newbie', so I rely on my feet to take me where my wheels won't:)

    You're daughter sounds like a tough little cookie, so I think she'll be fine. It's a fun trail, I had a great time last week and I think you'll both have a blast!
