My bike might be put together by then, but probably not. If the weather is good, and my bike is together, there's a possibility that Carrie and I could get out on Sat, since my mom is taking the kids. We're thinking Hunter on Sunday, but if that doesn't work out then a ride could be in order instead.

I should be able to join you guys. I will also see if Randi wants to come. What ever side has the least climbing gets my vote.

That works for me, Stone or Scoville?

Riding out of Stone and hitting those hills right at the start on day one scares me. ;)

Seriously, I don't care. I was thinking if it's dry enough, maybe just doing the Lamson loop. We should be done with that 6 miler in 7 or 8 hours. :lol: ;) Actually wouldn't mind finishing up in the 9 o' cock hour so 6-ish miles sounds about right. What do you think?

How about the big loop? Not sure heading into Sessions is a good idea yet.

You don't want to do the two little (but steep) hills at the beginning of Stone, but you'll hit up the killer ass kicker hill on the big loop? :eek:

I know, but it's after the cemetery twisty warm-up at least.

Screw the 2 quick hills on stone, lets get right to that big climb on the Lamson Loop!

Lamson Loop it is.

I'm not likely. We'll probably still be sleeping then (if we're not on our way skiing somewhere) since the kids will be away. Carrie didn't seem to interested to follow you on a death march for her first ride... ;)

Then when fall comes around you're gonna be saying "I wish I mt biked more":razz:
Dude, it's only April! :p

If it is just the you 2 you may want to consider a change of venue... Tyler Mill?
:lol: Nice!

If how I feel right now is any indication of what's to come, it's more likely that I'll be lying in bed Sunday morning wishing for death to finish its job on me. Not going to be a pleasant weekend if this turns into a sinus infection or worse, bronchitis. :(

Considering I never rode what you guys are proposing before, I'm not going to make my first foray in MTBing this season one that's going to kill me. Have fun!
