PLAN B IF THE TRAILS ARE CLOSED

As long as it's not physically raining we can have a road ride that leaves from the park at the same time. It will be a "show and go" ride, no drop policy...meaning whoever shows up we'll plan accordingly as to speed, sweepers, and we won't leave anyone behind. Anyone that wants to hammer it and knows the way is welcome to have at it, but this will be social ride where all skill/fitness levels are welcome. There's a good 25ish mile loop that may be a good option.

And yes, a mountain bike club can have road rides too. I've even ridden the road bike with the hucksters before...Imagine that Grin....I've ridden beside Vinny at the Booty where the big hit guy was cranking triple digit mileage on...yes, a road bike. If you're not doing anything Vinny, bring the family/crew and come join us. 

I repeat, this event/ride whether it's in the woods or the road is open to members and non members. Whether you're more of roadie, mountain biker, or big hit huckster, in the end we all like to ride....So come join us

Count me in with two more (the family.)   Smiley

I'm not sure if I'll be able to ride though, since I decided to dislocate my shoulder on Sunday.   Sad  Maybe the pain will subside by then, or else I can just watch my son and my wife ride the trails.

We're in for two riders...


It must be a sign of the technology times....  Wife sitting 10 feet away, but I find out via the forum what we are doing.  I'll just return to socializing with my CrackBerry.

I always knew Vinny was a roadie at heart. I guess that explains why he wears girl pants.  Grin

One thing I forgot....This is for members and non members. If you use this forum and aren't a member, this is an invitation to come out and meet some of us....or just come out and ride whether you're a member or not. 

you mean you can use this forum and not be a member. What a concept Wink Might be a doable ride for the wife and myself. What's on the food menue
