That would have been the smart thing to say. For me, stubbornness trumps wisdom. But my wife is happy as a lark having outspent our budget by a factor of 2.

How many were fully rigid vs hardtails?
Are hardtails preferred in the snow and rigid in the sand?

 

[Steve Vai]

I think everyone was on rigid in the main group. It's the best way to go for legit winter use.

Bringing this backup. Is it happening this year? I think the date is 12/5, time and location?

 

[Steve Vai]

I wasn't planning on hosting a ride this year. Low tide is at a bad time. I could do Sandy Hook but haven't been out there this season and don't know what the Ranger vibe is like. Anyone know?

So is this not going to happen then? I thought you were setting up the fat bike for it...it's going to rain all Saturday anyway.

It is. And I am. But I'm gonna do it solo because the weather and tide will not be ideal.

I won’t because I’m a wimp and I’ve exhausted the points I had earned with my wife for finishing subfloor and tiles in the living room, so now I have to attack the ceiling...
