Gonna try to get back out on the bike this weekend since there might not be anywhere to ski... Prefer Sunday to avoid hunters. Looking to start around 7:30, ride for 3 hours or so.

What kind of pace are you hoping to set? I might be interested in an early ride.

Either one of you guys interested in hooking a rope to my busted bike and towing me around? No towing required on the downhills... ;)

I didn't work too hard at getting my rear hub replaced because I thought I'd be skiing by now.... :smash:

I was hoping to get to Miller's Pond this weekend, but eveytime I plan a trip there it rains the day before and that place drains like crap. Now that I have said that, it will rain, I wont be able to ride there AGAIN, and I should be able to make this ride.

Any chance of puishing this to 8:00am? What about hitting Nepaug, I have not ridden there all year.

I could do 8, but kinda had my heart set on probably closing my season at the beloved Nass. Aiming for 10 miles or so.

Will there be a few options to bail and make a bee-line back to the car? Not sure if I can do 3 hrs but I do want to get out and early is good for me.

10 miles in 3 hours is not that fast of a pace. And not that I really want to, but just for you I will be sure to find some spots to stop and session so you can get some breaks :)

I am planning on riding and know I probably can't do the 10 miles after last weekends ride so if you need to bail, you will be my excuse to get out too!

We almost have the whole gang. All B needs to do is 'borrow' the rear wheel from someone else bike and he can ride too.

Don't give him any ideas...he may try to rig my ride so he can join you. :lol:

I guess if I were motivated enough I could switch the rear back to v-brakes and use one of my old wheels. That would be a PITA though, so probably not...
