[A Potted Plant]

First out of shape ride down today, I dub this thread near death experiences for fat people. MTBdog pushed me harder then I've been pushed in a long time, I may even had some vultures circling at one point. I hope I didn't slow you down to much Frank thanks* for the ride!

I need to ride with @Mtbdog again

Location has not been decided yet

I am somewhat flexible but starting after 9 is tough because I gotta take the kids to the pool in the afternoon. 9 works which realistically is a 930 roll time

Please post the route for those who may not be ready to start until after the 9am train starts the ride.

Right, you’ve never rode with me. I’m in. Looking forward to seeing you ladies. It’s been a long minute.

Hi.... have we ridden together before?

I will try to post the route and get you my contact info their is no guarantee we will stay on the planned route

 

[mtbiker87]

There's no guarantee we'll stay on any route. Or the actual trail for that matter.

 

[JimN]

There is a four birds easy way?

No, but there's definitely a hard way.

This is very much the truth

Grips are expired but have 8 new ones you can install on your own. Just cut the old one out and retape with double sided masking tape, activate with mineral spirits then slide on the grips. Pretty easy to do and makes a good rainy day project.View attachment 164000

I've done my clubs, I can confirm it's easy. Only piece of advise I would add is to find a way to hold the shaft in place while doing the whole operation, I used a specific rubber clamp on my vise, makes it a lot easier.

Is there any interest in exploring the section by Lake Ames and snake hill rd or stay on the other side. Should I make sure we go to the Hawk watch? Typically I do not.
