    The most poorly organized bike race?!?

    Wow! Great publicity for road biking events. That sure looked like a hit and run on a public road when the bike ran over the guy and kept on trucking. I hope he met his time goal in the race after that.

    Saddle talk- Same or different on each bike?

    Different saddles . I recently got a Selle SMP that is more comfy than my WTB Rocket V. They both fit well but the Selle has a bit more padding. The Rocket is pretty rough on the taint for the first few rides coming out of winter but is nice after that. It's still nice to have just a little...

    Advice for first timers?

    Hillier and rockier than those that you listed. White, red and blue tend to be easier than yellow and orange depending upon current blowdowns etc..

    The Pedal Pub: How On Earth Can This Bar On Wheels Be Legal?

    That thing looks like it only goes on roads. Does that mean spandex is mandatory for a pub ride? :p

    WVP/Chimney Rock TM Wednesday 7/25 5.30pm

    That new section of trail with the pink flags looked and rode a lot better than the washed out widened stuff that was the original. No evidence of wet spots or washouts this evening. Great job!

    flat free tires

    I used something similar to that in mid-80s. I was a cheap young teenager who lived on a gravel road in the Ozarks and had a skinny tired 27" ten-speed which did get taken into the woods as well. My tires kept getting thorns and snakebites so I tried a hard foam "tube" from Walmart for $15...

    Wildlife

    Last night there was lots of wildlife moving around on the trails at 6MR as the rain was trying to move in just before dusk. The most interesting was when I came around a corner on the orange trail and looked down the hill. I was looking at the dipsy bridge close to where the red and orange...
