I have a new set of Azonic 420s and I haven't had a chance to ride them. Trying to get quotes on tubeless tires right now even though I probably won't be able to ride them. 

And it's not just exercise road riding on the West Side at 5:15. It's an adventure (hopping curbs, terrorizing sidewalks, riding across lawns, outrunning pit bulls, hollerin' at hos and out running would be muggers AND the popo try in to catch ya dirty cause you're riding without reflectors and they're comfortable approaching Caucasians). Don't hate. Participate. 

Peace out.

Man, I come back from vacation and everyone is up in arms about the trails being closed.  Well, let me suggest a few alternatives to blowing up the clubs forums and teh intewebz....

1.  Go for a road ride.  Don't even need a road bike.
2.  Spend more time with your family, wife, kids, etc.
3.  Help out with trail work at the local trails.  Helps gain new perspective and is a good work out, too!

Yea, we're working at Fisher this Sunday and I'm sure BigBikeMike could use some help at North Meck and LNSP.  worker-rider could use some help at BYT, too.

Later...

1.   Tires and wheels are too expensive(might as well but a new bike[I can't afford])
2.  I spend almost all my time with my wife. I get to ride on work days because LNSP is on the way to/home from work 
3. No access is allowed on Itsui during wet conditions

1. Run what ya brung. I can ride my Epic on the road fine with the knobbies.
2. Totally valid point. We all need a break at times.
3. Not true unless you just go out there by yourself. Contact BigBikeMike and set something up with him. I'm sure the park would be more than happy to have more help maintaining the park.  Smiley
I can help set it up if you like.  Smiley

If you want to work at LNSP, you best contact them and get the okay. When the trails are "closed", I call to see if it is okay to come and work. I would always like some help.
