LOL! We have the nerd thing in common then! Love my Iron Man and comic related things in general my whole life. In fact, more recently I've gotten into Batman stuff myself being a Marvel-ite much more so. Example: Just yesterday at WalMart I bought a Batman fedora hat! lol! My beanie size head...

Ah! You were riding with someone else no? I may have moved over for you and your buddy to keep going the other direction? Funny enough I was wearing an Iron Man shirt!

I ended up there around 1 till 3-ish with a friend. It was his first time at CCC and he really seemed to enjoy it except his legs were done by the end. We rode slowly but covered quite a bit. At one point, another guy came around with a fat tire bike. His first time too. We all rode together for...

I'm headed out to CCC soon. Should arrive about 12 noon or so. I'll be with a friend who's just getting back into it as well so it will definitely be rides on the easiest of trails there. If anyone see's me on a Tan/Biege SE Stout single speed, say hi and let me know if you want to ride along...

Thanks, that's good to know. Although if it does little harm to the trail I do love a good mud bath on my bike anyway. I've learned though to respect not "rippin" up the trails for others by riding muddy spots to hard. If I want mud there are nice muddy sections at Parvin's State Park that do...

We've met a couple times briefly out on the trails Mike. It's great to have you as a CCC ambassador of sorts.

Ok. I'll be 49 in another month. 190lbs. I'm sure to suffer worse than you since I haven't had much muscle training for several months. Cardio wise not too bad since I play Rball alot. Keep me posted.

I'm just getting back into riding again after a year. I had taken a hard fall at CCC last summer and messed up my hand, then crashed my shoulder playing racquetball at gym, which is still an injury I'm dealing with. My point is that I did two lighter rides at Parvin State Park a few weeks ago...

Cool. I'm gonna try to make it out there Monday at some point early afternoon late morning if the weather holds up.

I figured that was you once you said you lived around the corner. Didn't want to ask figuring you might not want to bother with me being a newb and all. Sorry bud I should have asked...I was out of breath though! :D I just came back from a brief ride there about an hour ago. I still haven't...

I take no offense at all. I really hadn't thought about that. Good info that helps a new rider like myself look at muddy conditions in an unignorable light. Thanks JD :cool:

Got my first taste of Kresson today. Not bad but small place. Rooty and muddy today. I like mud! Favorite feature: The trail along the stream. Nice, fast rolling, and serene. I still much prefer CCC though.

Just had some Scuttlebutt Newport Blonde and Tell Tale Red. Newport Blonde is pretty bland. Tell Tale Red is very "brown" and coffee-like. Not bad but slightly bitter puts me off. I hate hoppy beer.

I picked out a pair of Tifosi glasses today while I had a coupon from the bike shop. Got a deal on the Podium series with the 3 interchangable lenses for $44. I rode CCC and right around 6:30pm the red/amber lenses started to not be so good. But prior to that with more daylight overhead they...

AWESOME results! Hit CCC on the way home from shop to test the new chain and it has much more immediate response. Front brake no longer squeals too. Once I was done riding and pulling in to rack my bike on the car who shows up but the same guy and three others from the Danziesen & Quigley...
