Intro to Sourlands Group Ride 8/11 @ 9am

[A Potted Plant]

I'm gonna try to make this so I can show all you guys why everyone should be riding five inch tires.

Just because u ride 5 inches doesn't mean we want to

I'm out for this ride. Too new to the sport for this challenge. Hoping to make it out with the OOS crew this fall. Hope to see you then.

Skinny tires are for peasants.

You did fine at Chimney Rock, you'll do fine at Sourlands. There is some more challenging tech there but a good bit isn't all that much harder than CR. Just walk what you can't ride, you won't be the only one doing that.

Pretty sure I'm in, I'll know for sure later in the week. Sourlands is a fun time, just not an easy ride.

If it's any more motivation to join, this just in: There will be PRIZES for conquering the gnar and general badassery! Judging will be at my/the group's discretion.

Also, if there's anyone coming that can mule me some of those JORBA trailwork signs, please do that!

dooooooooddd..... now I don't know if I want to bring the fattie or enduro bike.... I've been there with fatness and it's so fun... but the trail bike is fun too.... I actually cheat less on the trail bike. blawahahahaa.

For slow speed tech, fatty traction all day everyday.

That's a tradeoff with lack of suspension though. I've never ridden a fatty so can't make a true recommendation. All i can say is either way, you'll have fun... while cursing a lot. @Patrick is a Sourlands regular with both bike types, maybe he could weigh-in.

I have a baller suspension fork and a dropper post on my fatty.
