Hey looks like I'm out for Saturday. Forgot it was my Saturday to work at my full time, unfortunately . Think I could do Sunday morning at any of the 3 (cheesequake, huber, and allaire) as long as it's early. Should be drier by then as well

Sunday would be best weather wise, if we don't get much rain then we can do CQ or huber, if we get some rain we are better off at Huber.

Do you know if it's the Talon 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?
If it has a suntour crank... it's prolly a 4
Rather than the crank... change the wheels.

If it's a 4... too many things to change. Better to save and buy a better bike... unless you are getting spectacular deal in parts.

How's Saturday morning for a ride @Richard and @Oz Von Toco.. say 8:30? Weather should hold up enough so CQ won't be too damp. If you want to loose some weight @Richard, you can bring your bike by my place and we can do a little wrenching. Convert it to a 1X like @C8N mentioned and I mentioned on the ride and I have a few parts laying around to also help with the weight. You can probably ride to my house considering how close you are to me lol

awesome! Looks like there will be at least 3 of us, possibly 5 or more if anyone else decides to tag along. Let me know if you buddy wants to come @Oz Von Toco , I'll throw some regular peddles on my other full suspension bike.

Hey my friend wants to come but he's coming from Brooklyn in the AM (fortunately not from a night of drinking haha). Earliest train gets him to milburn by 8, could we push back the ride 1/2 an hour to 9 so it's not as tight a time crunch for us to get down there?

The parks not big, you could call one of us and we could swing back to the lot and meet you.

Sounds good I'll see you all at 9, does anyone have an extra/old helmet for my friend? Thought he had one but I guess not
