[Mr.Moto]

How you looking Bob? I’ll throw out a proposal: Ringwood, meet at Ryerson at 8.

I’ll have the fatty today.

Thanks so much @Mr.Moto for showing me around Ringwood this morning. We got in a solid 9-10 miles. Very impressed with all the new stuff built in Ringwood since the last time I rode there ages ago.

Yeah, good day today. If we had more time we could gone all the way to the top of white. But we still hit a lot of the newer stuff in ringwood.

Just flown back from Asia on Sat and missed the Ringwood ride as I was having a major jet lag LOL, looking forward for the next ride

Away this weekend, so no rides from me, but anyone wants to lead a ride, please do so.

 

[qclabrat]

Sorry folks but I've got weekend commitments till the Fall which don't allow for organized rides. Hope someone can keep the momentum till I'm back

 

[qclabrat]

Sneaking in a ride before the Fall, this week's ride is the Schilling ride at Allaire. Follow the thread for details. I'm not leading but as always will guarantee a fun no drop experience. Get there early, lot fills up quick.

 

[qclabrat]

Slowly getting back, you'll likely start seeing more rides here at Chimney Rock this Fall. 9am, gravel lot. About 10-15 miles. Should finish by noon. As always beginner friendly, no drop. Post up if I should look for you.

Hmm. I've ridden tubeless tires for over 20 years now. In all that time I've never gotten a flat from a root. Are people still using tubes?

It was tubeless last time I rode the bike at LewMo, but got a flat from something and the sealant wouldn't seal it. Threw in a tube and had been fine except today. Yeah, all three were tube pinch flats. To be fair the ancient Sram Rise 60 rims are really narrow. Swapped in a DHF as that's all I got around the house and all good.

I does, bikes don't break themselves, people do ...
