	Would like to make it! I'm pretty new, only twice on trails. First time I went sorta slow, but ran up on some things quicker than I should have for my skill level. After watching some videos I was ready to tackle it like a pro, so, today I tried to see how fast I could do it - 3 falls and one tree slam later I made it out in about the same time Rigid bike is hard with all the roots - it's fun though. Safe to say I wont be there at 5:30

	I’ll be there for both laps. For the fast lap, I’ll see you guys at the start and then I will see you again in the parking lot whenever I get done.

	Dang it!! Wanted to make the hot lap but got held up in a meeting at work, got at parking lot at 6ish thinking that's when the second lap was starting, so thought I arrived late and tried to play catch up. I then get home and come to find out social starts at 6:30...feeling dumb I'll be out next time with the right times!

	Didn't make it out - got a stomach bug. Do you guys do this every Wed? Beatty is pretty close to me and I'm very interested in coming out. Thanks!

	Good ride tonight folks. Thanks to everyone for coming out! Congrats to Taylor for wining the Ultimate Bicycle raffle. The hot lap was too hot for me both temperature and speed. I crashed about 4 times haha. Social/skills clinic was great. Hopefully you guys learned something... And yes KevBo and OoHoO, we do this every Wednesday at 5:30(fast lap) and 6:30(social lap) Also...the skills clinic will now be re-titled as "Awesome Classes". The 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month we'll have classes on how to be awesome on your bike and likewise in life. Topics such as cornering, traversing technical trail/features, etc. Skills will not be taught...Awesomeness will. Come out and get Awesome... FYI...I wont be there next Wednesday due to a prior appointment of getting rad in Pisgah all week. Please organize yourselves and keep the stoke alive... thanks!

	Had a good time out there tonight with ya'll i plan to make it to as many as I can in the future, my girlfriend Bridget really enjoyed it too. Well at least after she survived chigger hallow she really disliked the black diamond section in general. For her third trail ride ever and on a bike that's pushing 30lbs I think she did awesome on it. The Hot lap was pretty fun too if my stupid seat post would've stopped turning all over on me it got really annoying after a while.

	Hey folks, Just wanted to remind everyone that we won't be having the "scheduled" Wednesday night ride tomorrow. I'll be living in the wilds of Pisgah Nat'l Forest for the next several days...communing with nature, eating wild mushrooms, and hiding behind trees trying to scare people. Feel free to get rad out at Beatty amongst yourselves. We'll be back next week for another Awesome Class to learn to ride OTFs and break the earthly ties that gravity (not Gravitythief) has on us... See y'all 6/11/14!!!

	I'm at Beatty now and just got caught in the deluge. Was trying to bang out a quick lap before the official ride but didn't quite make it. Quite a bit of rain. Recommend canceling.

	Wow, finally got out of the office early enough to rush home and make the 5:30 lap. I changed crazy quick and did a NASCAR style wheel change and hopped on to meet everybody then the apocalyptic rains started so I turned back around. Hope everyone didnt get caught in the down pour!!! I'll try and make next week again.
