you all suck. I live 50 miles from there!

but i can't do 6/17 or 6/19 anyway.

Where are you parking to access the trails? On Nassahegan Drive or off of 69?

Can you make it out for this weekends ride with us?

I was thinking of trying the stuff around Lamson Corner (on 69) this time.

 

[o3jeff]

What time do you plan on starting?

 

[Greg]

What time do you plan on starting?

I could probably swing something like 6:30. That would give us two hours of reasonable light.

 

[bvibert]

What time do you plan on starting?

Good question, I'm not sure yet.

 

[bvibert]

It's looking like Thursday (19th) this week. I'd like to meet there around 5ish, but I'm flexible. Anyone else?

 

[Greg]

I'm hoping to make Thursday, but probably can't swing before 6:30.

That's cool, I can do 6:30.

 

[Greg]

I'm just about definite here. May push for 6:15. The Lamson Corner parking area works for me. Roll call:

[o3jeff]

I'm in for Thursday night. I've never been here so it looks like we'll both ride around aimlessly.

[o3jeff]

Can you guys still make this tonight? Either time works for me.

I'll be on the road today, but will check when I get home this afternoon.

I'll be there. Aiming for 6:15-6:30ish, but I'm somewhat flexible.

 

[Greg]

I'm aiming for 6:15. So psyched! Brian - are the trails off Lamson corner a new area for you? Should I bring my old GPS so we can at least mark a waypoint for the cars?

Yeah, it's a new area for me. A GPS wouldn't be a bad idea, but I doubt we'll get lost. There's several roads and other features in the are that should help us find our way. You may want to bring a head lamp just in case though..

That's why I was thinking that a GPS might be useful. I'll pack the headlamp too... :lol:

 

[bvibert]

I actually always have a small headlamp in my bike pack for when I go on these after work rides. Just in case. I'd hate to have to walk out in the dark, with no light, if something were to happen to my bike, or I got injured, miles out in the middle of the woods...
