    Week of 11/27 Ad Hoc Ride Thread - Burning Off Thanksgiving

    Starting my week in Florida. I like to carve out Tuesdays for RV but I have to take my daughter somewhere so that won't happen. Hoping to get out to CR 1 day this week. Anyone else got some last minute ride plans? @qclabrat seems to have lots up his sleeve these days.

    Weekly Ad Hoc Ride Thread - 11/20/23

    Lots of weekend coming up and less work days. So there should be some rides popping up this week. Personally I won't be around. Today is my free day but I had a few things drop on my lap so I won't be getting out to either CR nor RV. Post up if you've got a last minute ride you're heading out...

    Ad Hoc Ride Thread - Week of 11/13/23

    The purpose of this weekly thread is for people to post up ad hoc rides on short notice. Sort of like, "Hey I'm hitting CR ballfield at 2:00 intermediate pace" kinda thing. I believe @a.s. is looking for a Wednesday tour of Jungle. I may head out to RV tomorrow to work on the SBs but it...

    Go Ride Chimney Rock

    Hello CR regulars. As many of you know, @Kirt has been pouring a lot of love into CR this fall and those of you who've been riding there must see the positive changes that have been taking place. We rode there Saturday and the leaves are coming down in droves right now. This is both good in...

    Your Vermont Top 15-ish Trails

    @Dominique and I were discussing this last night, and I thought it would be a good topic of discussion. It might drive some people to ride places they might not otherwise ride. And I hope I learn a thing or 2 about places I have not ridden. Let's say the goal is to identify the top 15 trails in...

    You Are on a Long Boring Conference Call....

    ...and you're not really needed other than for ad hoc support. Let's say as a Phone a Friend. What do you do? What is your go-to game to play on the laptop? Do you just surf? Do you walk around the house? Work on the bike? We have a go-live right now that is like watching paint dry and I am in...

    Is open for registration: https://www.bikereg.com/mtbnjam Props to @jimvreeland for nailing first chair. Much of this event is still being worked out. Since our only current entry is a vegetarian, assume there will be vegetarian options for lunch. Ask questions, many things yet to work out.

    The Hurricane Ida Chimney Rock Relief Effort Thread

    Hello fellow Chimney Rock party people! I discussed this with @Kirt and after the last week (ish) of triage & reports from the park, we decided this is a better place than the CR Conditions thread, which will probably go into an "on hold" state while we move forward with the relief efforts...

    If so... The first 3 people who send me a PM will get these 2 things: 1. A FREE JORBA membership 2. A $50 gift certificate to Halter's This is a direct result of the 31/31 competition. We have 3 memberships left to give away and the first 3 people to send me a PM will reap that reward.

    The July 31/31 Classic p/b Halter's, JORBA, & MTBNJ

    Continental Mountain Kings 2.4 - 4 tires

    I have no use for these as I’m not really an MK guy. Wear varies from mild to not really any. Free or buy me a cake.
