Hi together with few of you we have already started to go out on trail, during week ends and soon also week. We are all over 50 and not racers..... If you want to join please contact me and we will add you to the email blast we do. You can join us even if you are younger but do not want to run for a race! 

Thanks

I  was a fast guy, had a very bad crash, now I'm the slow guy.
I love to ride but at 52 I don't really need another concussion.
Let me know when you are riding again

See you Thursday Mike. Let me know if you need anything. I hope you took a day off to ride with us. I will be at Sherman kiosk at 9:30 riding an old but faithful blue kona. It takes me about 7 to 8 min to get there. Mike slow my a$$!

Scott, call me tonight after 6:30. I'll try to get a day off to ride with you. I might just have to quit! I'm tired of working all the time. That's not saying much for retirement! Tell Josh to call me also.

Thank you and Scott. This was the first ride since my accident  where I actually felt good, out of shape, but good.  Looking forward to making more of these.

That sounds like fun. Not sure if I can get out of work in time but if I do where do you typically start from?  I'll post here tomorrow afternoon as things clear up so you will know what to expect. Hope I can make it. Sounds like a good group of guys!

Chuck, 
Checked the WWC website and unfortunately it agrees with what I'm seeing out my window - rain and trails are closed. Think we may need to try again another day.
Sorry,
Jeff

I'm hooped from today through Saturday. Between work and wife I'm booked solid. Will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully I'll catch one of these opportunities soon. 
Cheers

Only time i can ride turns out to be Sunday morning and I would welcome company.

Since Scott is up at DuPont, I'm nixing BYT. I get lost out there unless he's guiding. So, I'm heading to ASC (aka Springs). 

I'm WAY over 50 and not very fast. I'll be in the parking lot at 9:30 in a gray Toyota pickup. I prefer riding from the dairy barn, up to the complex and back. It's called the Adventure Road Entrance. Address: 148 Adventure Road, Fort Mill, SC 29715

CHUCK: Hope this works for you... I'll give you a call.

ORRIN: I'll text you back... hope to see you there!

Hey Monty, welcome to the forum.

First, I recommend not posting your email address on the public forum... you may end up with a lot of spam or phishing emails.

If you have a fat tire rigid frame bike, there are trails around Charlotte where you could ride depending on your fitness/skill level and the quality of the bike and components.

The newish Paradise Loop at Anne Springs which we rode today would be a good place to give it a go.

Keep posting about looking for riding partners and you should find someone... I personally cannot usually ride during the week.

I'm well over 50 and ride during the day. I have a non suspended bike that I ride sometimes. It does just fine at all the trails I ride.

Thanks guys, I've got a specialized sirrus that I ride on road. Just picked up a new giant toughroad that I'm gonna be riding  on and off road,  (mostly off) .  The Sherman Branch trails are closest to me I think. Reckon the toughroad would be ok in there?   
     Rode this morning on road,  man some big headwinds out there with Irma down south kicking around. 
     Thanks abruzzopat, for the heads up. I'm around limited on weekends, work some, run off some.. Enoch maybe we can try it sometime coming soon,  just let me know...

you could do most of Sherman on the Giant Toughroad,. There has been a many a Crossbike ridden there. I think it is more a Gravel Road oriented bike. The biggest thing will be tire/rim management.

Agreed. Sherman is a trail where you just need a good quality bike with decent tires and wheels. Suspension just make things more comfortable.

I still won't in on this group. Saturday I'm heading over to BYT been about 6 months since last time I was over that way. This Sunday I'm heading over to the WWC to help teach a skills clinic and then football/fishing. Please keep posting this ride up I will make it back out.

Is the skillz clinic something open to public or is this a private thing?  
The wife was looking for some skillz clinics... she is really fast but desperately needs to go back and master some of the basics.  She has a tendency to muscle it which isn't always the best way.  Being able to put the bike where you want it and have the confidence to hold that line even when traction is less than ideal is an area where she could use some help.

The Dirt Divas are putting on the skills clinic and it is open to everyone. They also need a few Dirt Dudes to help out if anyone can make it. I helped a few times when I lived in the Charlotte area, but I can't now since I moved to WV. I hope you have a good turnout!
