In spring and summer before the time change, I do get out in the evenings..but to be honest, its easier to get out in the mornings at least with regard to the wife.

That's true, I can see how that's a much better deal.
Where are you heading out in your area in the AM? I did use to go rock climbing at 6AM before the time change, it'd be nice to get a ride in the area early, especially with these nice days.

I skied Thursday to Saturday. I think it's safe to say the bike won't be out again until Spring. It's been a pleasure guys!

I see you're in stamford....do you ride mianus? I used to ride there often when i lived up in that area. In the mornings, I'm riding some local woods where we have cut some really sweet single track. Sometimes, when time allows, I'll head to Graham hills or Blue mtn up in peekskill.

Yep, Mianus is my local stomping grounds now and every once in a while I get over to Trumbull.
I was wondering what place had ladders and such - good stuff!

ended up gettin in 42 miles yesterday.

Nice Bruno..I hope you're back out there again today. I don't have time today for a road ride with work..and the mtn bike is in the shop from the mishap the other day.

The ladders are in the local woods..where we're building some nice single track. It just needs a lot of work to maintain them especially in the fall..during leaf season.

Was out in the woods again at 7 this morning. Had a great ride, although, it was a bit wet (no rain but quite foggy) out there...making the slick rocks...well that much more slick.

Can't ride tomorrow morning and friday is questionable with weather...then, I'll have to get out over the weekend which appears to be getting colder...(finally!!!).

Guys, pick up the skis and join us here: Hunter - Friday, 12/15/2006

Bruno..got it back on tuesday. He was able to bend back the dropout of the front fork. Still has a slight bit of brake rub, but nothing major..should ride it out. It's amazing how much better my own bike feels, even though I was riding some fancy rigs as loaners.

Hopefully getting out tomorrow morning at 7 in the woods.

Andy...perhaps I can get out on 12/15...we'll have to see.
