[powhunter]

I'm in for either of those. Knowing our map skills it will be a variation between the two.

I was in the army..ill bring my compass

I vote for the shorty. Better for a hot day and not as far out if the weather turns. Can you print it out and take it along? My desktop with the printer is on the blink. I'll bring the GPS. At least we ready know the first mile or so...

I'll see what I can do, we don't currently have a printer hooked up to the network (or this computer) so I'll have to figure something out.

Still not sure. Its later than I would like and also going to be pretty hot an nasty bu 3:00. I am thinking about getting a ride in much earlier. But who knows, I really want to ride at Nass.

Time to man up.

The only concern I have is T-storms.

Well that would make me the only man on the ride now wouldn't it.

With the heat, you will be begging for T-storms about an hour in.

Look at that, Johnny is coming back early to ride with us.

I thought of him today when I was at the town dump and they had 3 or 4 bikes sitting off to the side, there might have been a good upgrade for him.

Uhm......yeah.

Let's not forgot that I pushed through a truly brutal hangover to ride last week. A little heat and humidity doesn't scare me.

 

[o3jeff]

I'm out for this afternoon, my plans changed and I can't squeeze it in.

 

[Greg]

Bummer, Jeff.

I managed to get my desktop on the network long enough to be able to get this map printed. I'll bring two copies along.

I just got back from an 11 mile ride, it is brutal out there! Its not to hot, but the air quality makes it pretty hard to breath. Climbs were the worst. Even my riding partner, who is a MUCH stronger rider than I am was having issues. This may sound strange, but I ussually weight myself before a ride in hot weather and after. It lets me know how much water weight I have lost and guage hydration levels. I lost 5lbs of water weight during todays ride.

Make sure you drink alot before the ride
Bring alot of water & some snacks
Drink frequently to stay hydrated
Don't over do it.


PS - tested out the new seat post on some technical stuff....It rocks! It really makes a huge difference.

Cool, since I forgot all about it.

I'm still planning on being there, but I'll be on the HT since I broke a spoke on the FS.

 

[Greg]

Looks like rain is almost a definite.

 

[bvibert]

Change of plans guys, I'm out. Sorry.

See ya on Tuesday!

 

[Greg]

Thunderstorm rolling through right now. We're going to push this off until 6 pm. So far, powhunter, johnnypoach and I plan to meet at Lamson's then.

 

[o3jeff]

I might be able to make the 6 start. Just trying to finish some projects around the house right now.

 

[Greg]

Just has a 2 foot diameter oak tree come down in the back yard. :-o The rest of the yard is littered with leaves and branches. Winds were incredible and we had huge hail. It was over in 10 minutes. Crazy!

 

[powhunter]

wow thats crazy....getting real dark here now.....once that big mass of storms moves on by we should be good

[o3jeff]
