MTBNJ Group Ride: Allaire for Schilling (9/17)

[Matt_]

Awesome turn out today! Was great seeing the regulars as well as put some more faces to names. Really can't say enough about how amazing this community is. Echoing @Frank , the group and atmosphere was truly a testament to Schillings legacy.

Great to see the love for our fallen comrade. Nice to see old (and some older) friends. Can I suggest a "Cinnamon Roll" rehearsal before the next event? ha

Very fun ride today everyone! It was good putting some faces to names/names to faces!

That was a fun 20 minute group ride, then hike out, then 20 minute solo ride, then hike out again for me

Bummer! I thought you'd just give it a few pumps and hop back on the train.

what happened?

Bummer! I thought you'd just give it a few pumps and hop back on the train.

Burped the tire, not enough Stan's® . Thanks to @woody for the pump loan to get me back to the trail head and @capedoc for the guide back to the double track for the quick out.

I ended up airing it back up instead of throwing a tube in and hauling ass back to ry to catch the train just to forget to bring my pump with me again and having to walk out a second time haha. I guess I was just to excited to try to catch the tail end of the caboose

This is what I get for wanting to bring the single speed but forgetting to set it up the night before. Not bumped out about the flat as much as I was not being able to join the group for the rest of the awesome ride for schilling.

Fantastic turnout today- so many people having fun on bikes on a beautiful day. It was a fitting tribute to the man. @Mitch thanks for organizing

Wow. So grateful for the showing of support from our biking community. Mtbnj and the Schilling Family appreciate it. Thanks to all the ride leaders and sweepers for the help. Thamks Frank for Kathleen and saving the day for me so I could ride. Schilling really touched a lot of people.

I forgot to ask, you all mended up yet?

Yeah. thanks. I'm all good. I have an extra bump on my forearm now, but you can really never have enough of those, right?

Bummed to have missed this but the support looks phenomenal!
