Somewhere new ?

I'm flexibile on starting time.

I'm hoping to ride Nass Monday afternoon starting around 3 pm. Hoping to bang out 10+ miles before 6 pm. This is all still very much in maybe status.

I'm just about a definite for a longish Nass ride on Monday afternoon. Hope to get rolling by 3pm and ride till about 6 pm. I'm thinking a short loop in Sessions and then the big Lamson loop, or some variation of that.

What say you Gary? rueler?

Sounds fun to me. I'll leave work @ 2 and be at Nass for a 3:00 ride. Which starting point?

Maybe for next year we can get an MTB equivalent to this ---->:daffy:

There was no sign of hunters there this morning, I didn't even see any trucks parked along route 69 on my ride in.

I did however wear a blaze orange shit I picked up at Target yesterday.

I could probably do a Monday ride...MIGs and I were planning to do a Tuesday ride, BUT I totally spaced out on the fact that I have parent/teacher conferences this week. I'll post back later when I'm a definite or not

Definitely join us. You just gotta keep up. That's all. :lol:

We'll start with a loop very similar to what you did this morning. Then the big loop which starts with a mile and a half of nice twisties, then a killer climb, then the rewards - some sweet downhills and some techy rocky sections. We finish up on a great stretch of flowy singletrack. There are a few bailouts along the way if you need them.

HELMET CAM! :-o:oops: :lol:

I'm definitely in for Monday. Is it 3pm wheels rolling from Scoville?? The three jump set up is in your immediate future Greg! I have an appointment that may make me about 10 minutes late...but, I'll catch up. Let me know your loop plan in case I'm late!!

Meet us at the end of the swamp warm-up twisties on Scoville. We'll then take a quick loop through Sessions and make a run at the big Cornwall/69 loop.
