[pibbles]

great news! No one will have to wait for me today! Did 100k on the road yesterday in place of the Wharton 40 and I’m beat! Enjoy!

I'm in fashionably late.

Great ride today.
Bigly turnout.
Tanks @Reggie for leading the Intermediate Light group. 18 of us started, and I never counted how many finished, but I think it was erryone.

This was the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning! Thanks @Reggie for leading the group and thanks @pooriggy for coordinating it all. It was super fun getting back to a park I love but haven't been to in years.

I think everyone who owns an emtb showed up. That was an impressive showing. We started with 25 and broke down to 15. My legs did not like the long stops but that's what these big group rides are. Thanks @pooriggy for organizing.

* I pulled 2 ticks off of me so check yourself

Great time in the woods today. Thanks to @mattybfat for leading us around.

Exactly how everyone looks on their first ride on an emtb

I think that is how everyone looks on a down hill. The difference is, he was probably smiling coming up a climb...

True but I'm selling emtb propaganda 😁

Oh, I know. They were out in force today.

That was a blast, and yes my bike got dirty but was restored to showroom shinny condition less then 30 minutes after arriving home. Big thank you to Burke for leading our group !!! Also can't believe I finally made that climb up to Gravity Cavity without a touchdown.

 

[pooriggy]

Great turnout today, we had about 60 folks show up to ride!

Despite the big numbers, the ride leaders did an excellent job keeping everyone flowing.

Thanks;
@mattybfat for leading E bike group, I think the whole ebike thing may take off.

@shrpshtr325 and @Reggie for leading Intermediate Pace rides.

@jShort for fast pace action and @extremedave for slower fun.

Our next group ride will be in March, until then, keep riding and enjoy the trails.

Always a good time with you people! Special thanks to @Reggie for the quality loop and cat herding duty, and of course to @pooriggy for pulling these things together. And lunch was pretty darn good, too.

 

[extremedave]

That was very fun and we were lucky to have a great group. Nobody fell in the swamp and we had not one but TWO Cannondale Lefty’s, then ran into @ryderX with another lefty!

Thanks to @Stef for wrangling on sweep and @Cole for finding enough barely expired Advil in his pack to stave off my sudden migraine. Darn good burger after also. Kudos to @pooriggy for getting everyone together for these.
Cheers all!

[Starting over]

Thanks for putting this together. My first group ride but definitely not my last.

Great ride today in the e-bike group. Thanks @jdog for switching rides with me for a bit to save battery. I need to learn to not ride boost too much but is was so much fun. Made it back with a flashing red bar to spare

 

[Juggernaut]

Super fun time out there today! @extremedave patiently led a ragtag troop of intrepid explorers on a awesome adventure. 👍

Sorry, been listening to a lot of “Old Time Radio” and I can’t get the dialogue style outa my head. 😊

One of the highlights of the day was getting an impromptu rock skills clinic for the flat-landers (like me ☺️) by sweeper extraordinaire and our very own @Stef !!!

Cheeseburger.😎

And I’m the guy who had a total knee replacement 14 months ago!

You gotta stay off that turbo button if you don’t want to limp home.

Greta seeing ya out there. Today was fun.
