You really are a glutton for punishment.

It's about time you registered (if this is who I think it is).

As tempting as that sounds, not this time.

Bubba the cat has taken a turn for the worse and it ain't pretty, if the vet can see him tomorrow morning I'm out.

@mtbiker87 we should meet somewhere just in case so I can give you the cage, I can drop it at your place if you want me to. Let me know.

Everything is a go for tomorrow. Pump up the tires, dress warm and let's roll some gravel!

Car pool if you can and don't be late for the selfie.

Confirming I am in as well finally able to make one of these rides.

I will try to remember to bring my 10 year old MTB and not my road bike ?.

I know the whole trail really well for anyone who is on a MTB and wants to ride a moderate pace. I may head back before we hit the trailhead in Flanders depending on time.

@mtbiker87 i will bring the tire.

Look forward to putting names and faces with mtbnj names.

The whole trail is basically hard packed gravel so it’s pretty resistant to the rain even the day after a storm. After a bad rain there’s one or two typical wet spots but nothing impassable or that would damage anything by riding it.

Right now up here it’s raining very lightly and it’s supposed to end by 10pm. I have been in and out all night for kids basketball practice and there hasn’t been any snow maybe a flurry or two at most. Temps will
Not go below freezing tonight so very little risk of icy stuff.

I would suggest fenders/mudguards of any kind if you have it to reduce the skunk stripe. and I usually like to cover my mouth/face with a light neck gaiter cause then I don’t have to eat the grit spray off the trail with a group ride like this.

It looks like everyone is bringing the worst bike they have.

Jerk.

Sorry folks....life is getting in the way for this ride. I'm out. Have fun and enjoy the tasty beverages at the HB Brewery.

What time we meeting for carpool? ?

 

[clarkenstein]

I ain’t gonna make it too. Have fun!

 

[iman29]

Great ride even with the wind and the chance to meet some new peeps.

@pooriggy thanks for organizing can’t wait to see the massive group pic.

@threefour nice meeting you and your crew glad you and the bike are ok after the “incident”. ?

 

[jklett]

Thanks for setting this up, I had fun. I thoroughly regret my bike choice for today but I didn't die so it's all good! Plus I got to see a cow with a bucket strapped to it's ass, where else do you get to see stuff like that?
