Looking to do a morning ride Sunday. I would like to get started by 8am. I'm open to ideas for venues, but I was thinking of a longish ride at Nass, possibly starting from the soccer fields. Who's interested?

Dude, WTF, do I smell or something? ;)

Only a little.

Actually I would love to ride with you, but my neighbor has been asking me to go out on his boat with him for a while and he's going Sunday so I'm doing that. Might try for either an early afternoon ride tomorrow, or an evening ride on Sunday.

Yeah, Woodcore and I were talking about it yesterday, there's one or two easy options for bail outs for anyone who's not up to the whole ride.

What kinda loop are you looking at? I was at the fields the other day and they beat me up. I was probably riding where I should not been. Trying to get a gauge on the amount of climbing involved. I don't want to slow you guys down but I am interested in how things connect at Nass. If I don't hook up with you guys I'll be riding Nass anyway. Maybe we'll see each other.

Brik, it would be great if you could come and join us for a rip tomorrow morning! Bvibert and I have a great loop planned and if your interested in how things connect at Nassehegan, the loop we plan to ride ride will most likely answer all your questions!

Anyway, The full loop will probably come in around 12 miles with several points to bail if needed. There is some climbing involved in the loop but nothing really over the top! Regardless, no worries about slowing us down!

You're more than welcome to join us, don't worry about slowing us down. We'll be sure to show what we know and how to connect some stuff up. Our route will connect the soccer fields to stone and then to the upper part of what we used to consider the main loop from Scoville. It should give you a good idea of how to connect up a bunch of stuff. Like woodcore said there won't be a ton of climbing.

Bummer Steve, you missed out on a good ride. We looped back to the parking lot around 8:30 to see if you had made it, but didn't see you so we carried on.
