I wouldn't mind doing the standard loop, but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm okay with that. I never tire of that loop. If we do it, there's a trail I've been noticing heading off to the right after crossing Cornwall Rd that I would like to try. It's not mapped on Crankfire and I assume it just hooks back up with Cornwall Road somewhere. Still, it might be fun to do a bit of exploratory and track something new on CF.

Works for me.

how long do you guys usually ride on a weeknight?

We start at 6-ish and lately we've been finishing about 8:15 given the earlier sunsets. Joining us?

Right, but it depends on the loop and the riders. I finished just before 7:30 tonight after starting at 6ish. Doing the standard loop I expect to use up all of the remaining daylight starting at 6 this time of year..

Not really possible to meet up midway considering the proposed route. If you definitely plan on coming, let us know though and maybe we can rework the itinerary. I'm willing to hang closer to Lamson corner if I know you'll be there.

We set a decent pace, but didn't really cover a ton of ground, no real climbing either. We actually had several extended BS sessions too.

Nice. Hope you weren't talking too much crap about me... :razz:

Not too much, but Jeff still couldn't believe that you chickened out on the Tim endo rock. :lol: ;)

I plan to wheelie drop it next time. Hopefully, I'll have more success than you did on your credit card drop tonight.

Don't bust my balls, Jeff was the one ragging on you. I was the one defending you! See if I do that again... :roll:

I am out on this ride. I am hurting pretty good from the rib-shot last night. Going to take it easy the rest of the week with hopes of doing the Labor day ride.

Advil + Tylenol. Helped my rib pain.

Sorry to hear you're hurting so badly. Take it easy!

Thanks, I think I am in the same boat as you except mine are the bottom ones right next to my arm. Had to sleep on my back last night and when I cough or sneeze it feels as if Tim is giving me a judo kick to the side.
