Dave's Going Away Ride

[Engignar]

Guys and Gals,

I've been offered and accepted a new job based in the Denver area, starting the beginning of March. Sadly this means I will no longer be able to ride our great local trails or ride with all of the friends I have made on this forum, folks who make mountain biking here truly worthwhile. The decision to make this move has been a tough one for me, and the friends I have made through this forum have only made it harder. I have learned a lot about becoming a better, more responsible cyclist from you, both through posts and personal interactions, and I truly thank you for it.

I'm going to be organizing a going away ride on Sat. 2/20 at Ringwood (school) starting 9 AM. I plan on hitting all of the fun stuff, like 6 br, Renegade, Warm puppy, Skylands, and parts of the race course as well. With a decent sized group expect at least three hours.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave, So glad to hear you got the job! I'm going to do my best to make this ride! If not I'll be giving you a ring whenever I'm out that way!

Dave - congrats on the job!! I won't be able to make it on the 20th but good luck and have fun out West

Congrats, Dave!!! You'll love it out there!!!

awesome! There are probably 1 or 2 decent places to ride out in Colorado... it's like pretty much the same as New Jersey from what I hear except they have better Italian food and get less snow than us.... seriously though, have a great time out there and live the dream!

When Mandi and I come out there for vacation, can you point us in the direction of the fun trails?

Not sure If I've met you, but I most certainly have got chuckles from your replies.

Enoy!

Good Luck!

just dont go snowboarding the day before this ride

You know how hard it was for us to get a solid 3 man group for the mid week Skyline rides!?!?!.... now we are back to 2. And no, we do not accept your initial offer for your replacement

I will try to make this as Sat's are tough for me.

Count me in for the going-away party. Who's arranging for the strippers and booze?


We're gonna miss you Dave, but the time is right to chase the dream.

[kush]

You're going to ride on the 20th at Ringwood at 9am? What a coincidence, me too!

Are strangers allowed to join in???? If so I think I can make this one

Good for you Dave! Congrats! I'm still looking for my opening to go out west. Find a teaching job for me and I'll help ya move

 

[jdog]

I will be in Canada on the 20th or I would be there.

Have a good move. I will see you in August for sure.

I know a bunch of folks out that way that you should link up with right off.

Although I've never met you (I think), I've enjoyed your presence here. Congrats on the new job. I think I will make it to the ride on the 20th!

 

[Engignar]

Thanks everybody!

Of course strangers can come! I just won't eat any candy you bring.
