i'm just probably going to start walking the uphills sooner. I was trying to keep up with you as best as i could at first and wasn't being realistic with myself. When i started to see white spots and and had to turn around to pick up the lung that flew out of my mouth, i knew it was hopeless.

Might not be a bad idea to have some water along with you too... :lol:

I drink anywhere from 40-100 oz on a typical ride.

i get at least two liters in me before the ride. i probably put down another 1.5 liters during a ride. when i get home i usually have a couple of beers. and if i'm lucky, a nice bowl of blueberries from maine. 8)

Most churches have a Saturday afternoon mass...

we started going to this tiny church in roxbury. seats less than 100 and they only have one mass, 8:30 am. which makes waldo a good option for me after i get my amens and alleluias in.

2knees, do you need a cage to hold a water bottle?? I've got at least 3 or 4 kicking around that I don't use at all!! If you want one, let me know and I can give it to you on a ride.

My bike is fixed already!! My shop had it ready by the time I got out of work today. you guys riding anywhere this weekend??

Pat,
Just get out and ride, the rest will come with time & sweat. If you want I can give you a tour of some stuff close to you so you can get out on your own. The West Hartford Res. and Case Mt are both real close to you.

FWIW, Greg's first 6 or so rides this year were on trails MUCH easier than what he took you on for your first ride.

Okay. I'll play along. You've never ridden the trails we took Pat on yesterday so how do you know what they are like?. Secondly, where exactly did I ride my first six or so rides? Just sayin'...








:razz:

Anyway, you are right in that the Stone Road trails are far more challenging than anything I first rode. Just not sure why the comparison is important...

Johnny's good for a once-a-month ride. You appreciate him more in limited doses. :razz: The funny thing is that POS he rode tonight isn't the biggest piece of crap he's ridden this season:





Put the sound up. The commentary is classic. :lol:

Mighty Mighty Bosstones rock!!!

3 X White Memorial, 1 Hubbard, 1 Nepaug and 1 WH Rez to be exact. #7 was Nass. What's the point again? ;)

I remember the first ride at Nass(with the paper directions) doing the main loop and probably walking my bike more than I rode it
