Yes it was on for tonight Gonzo! Great ride. Rumor has it at about 15 miles. Good pace. THere was enough mud and standing water to make it feel like riding a closed trail.  Smiley
Prolly my last ride for 2015. Could not think of a better group to close out the year with

Good times for sure. Glad you could make it out. Probably my last ride for the year also. Happy New Year!

We are going to start the New Year off with riding this week at N. Meck.  The gates will probably be closed, so we will park at the church beside the park in the back of their lot.  Meeting there at 6:15 and riding out at 6:30.  It's gonna be a chilly one, so dress warm and let's ride!!!

I hope you have fun! I was there Saturday morning and the trail was a mess. The sand at the creek crossing was real deep and there was a deep rut coming out of the creek. I'm sure it has dried up some, but all the riders were making rut thru out the trail. Why do people ride a closed trail? Because they don't have to fix the mess they are making. Just my observation. LNSP opened Sunday afternoon, but someone had ridden earlier, what a chance they were taking.

I think it might finally be time to break out the full length leggings.  Wink

The sand at North Meck right now is no joke, it's like a cyclocross race course out there!  not that it has any bearing on the trail being open, just an observation.  Mother Nature can do some amazing things...

I may slip into some thermals myself and join, but I reserve the right to be a cold wimp.

If I can find my light, I will be there. My 5 y/o son has apparently adopted it.

I have a couple of extras you can borrow if you want. Just the basic Cree kind. I don't think they are fully charged but should be enough to get you through a couple of laps at NM.

That was fun last night, thanks for leading the charge to get out there Greg.  My hands were frozen for the first 3/4 of a lap but after that everything was all good.  I guess we should get used to the cold night rides with the weather pattern finally shifting toward winter.

Thanks to everyone for coming out last, great ride.  I will definitely be looking into some better gloves, what worked last year didn't cut it last night.  Winter seems to be here, now I just need to pedal through it.

Had a good time last night, I'll try and make it North more often.  Nice meeting some of the people I had yet to ride with! Thanks for keeping the trail in good shape out there too Will!

This week heading out to Rocky River Trail for the ride.  Meeting @ 6:15 and hitting the trail by 6:30.  Because of the Temp. and conditions, will make it a shortened lap.
