Lets ride some Sunday

[awf170]

Ehh? I'm free basically every Sunday so I could do this whenever. What do you think the best location would be to limit my driving + make it possible for most of the CLIT riders to make it + actually give us some good riding. I haven't seen you guys in like forever...

vietnam!

 

[awf170]

Sure. You willing to make the trip? You would absolutely love that place. All the landings are so nice anything smaller than 5ft is cake.

Otherwise, lets keep this under 2 hours for me. So Bachelor St., Case, or WH reservoir. I heard good things about Case but my one ride there I thought it was pretty lame. I dunno, maybe I missed something. Seriously though, we should try for Vietnam. There will be something there for everyone.

I drive to Braintree and Marshfield so often that its no big deal. Is Milford (if thats where vietnam is) off of 495?

I could be a lot more flexible with times for Vietnam since it is only an hour away for me. When would you want to go?

that's even closer then i thought. not much over an hour from hartford. i just need a day my wife isnt working so i'll check the calender tonight and throw out some possible dates.

Do you know the place at all?

I apologize to the CLITS in advance for killing their best bump skier.

I don't really know the XC stuff, but we don't want to that, right? All the rollers, drops, and other things to kill yourself are mostly in a very small park area. So do you know what that means, Pat? Barely any climbing! Vietnam is your dream come true.

Don't worry; they'll lynch you later.

Vietnam would be out of play for me. Probably a 90 minute drive. I would be down for Bachelor Street, the Rez or Case. You sallies need to wake up earlier though.

Here is the thing that broke my derailleur + hanger on Thursday.

Don't ask how. I landed it perfectly fine, then 50ish ft down the trail I hear an awful sounds look down and see my derailleur dragging on the ground.

I know you guys wear those times like a badge of honor, but it isnt about waking up any earlier for me. what am i supposed to do with two kids at 5:30 in the morning?

It's not about bragging. It's about having the majority of the day to still spend time with the family, i.e. less static. So we're kinda coming from the same place here.

I'm calling BS on that! :lol:

besides, considering the amount of miles you put in, your 7:00 am rides would end at the same time my 8:30 am rides would end.

It's not about bragging at all, I really don't like getting up early. But doing so means that I get the rest of the day with my family, which means that I'm able to get out more often. I realize that it doesn't work out for you in quite the same way. I'll just have to do a later ride at some point so I can hang out with the cool kids.

You have a point about your shorter rides ending at the same time anyway. Carrie made that comment to me yesterday when she saw your TR right around the same time I got home from my ride.

simmer down you two, I'm just poking the bear a little.

8:30? :blink: The morning's half over by then.

If you pansies could get out of bed earlier, I might have considered it....

I can get hammered tonight and still wake up early enough for a 7 am ride. Wimps.

You sallies need to wake up earlier though.

:flame:
:lol:

and yes, my ride definitely ended prematurely yesterday but i did have a very bent rim, no front brake and needed to get my daughter to a birthday party by 12:00. EXCUSES! I have them in bunches my friend.

We finished riding around 12 yesterday, but I am sure we could cut an hour or more off it pretty easily.

Count me in for a trip to Vietnam and possibly Lynn Woods, I want to get out your way for some riding. I won't hit much, but I really want to see those places and watch you and Pat do crazy things on bikes:-o. Lets try to set a date.

Also, I will be riding Bachelor St this Sunday with my friend Red and a few others around 9:00am. Your always welcome to join us.
