Not sure what my plans are. It will partially depend on when I can get my rear wheel repaired.

Please do not feel this way. Seriously. I can't speak for others, but if I need to do a few more slow-paced easier rides, I'm fine with that. Like I said before, after 3 or 4 rides, your pace will pick up, especially given your apparent natural aptitude for riding.

I only rode behind you last time to kinda scope out how you would handle it and to yell out some (hopefully) helpful tips. On future rides, I'll ride ahead and just wait at trail merges so you know which way to go. That way you won't feel pressure having me behind you and you will likely ride faster to catch up.

BTW, nice avatar... :lol:

I'm going to set this ride for Wednesday, 6 pm at Scoville. I will adjust the ride difficulty and length to the riders. Roll call:

I can picture it now, Severine sabotaging Brian's while he is at work so she can ride.

Great, thanks for putting that idea in her head. I break my bike enough without her help, thanks...
:roll: I want to ride, but not that badly. Don't worry, your bike is safe with me. :)

No, since Brian broke his bike you need to let him get a new one :)

Good idea! :beer:
Wish we could get you a new one!

AWESOME! I had a feeling you would like this MTB stuff. So, it's official, a newbish paced ride. But be forewarned, Chris. We went at about 50% speed last time. On Wednesday, we'll bump it up to 75%. If we pull away, just keep on riding. I'll be sure to stop at all trail merges. I'm also planning a slightly more technical and longer ride.

Jeff - I'm thinking: cemetery twisties to the doubletrack. Take the DT south, cross the river and cross 69. Pick up the singletrack at Session Woods. Follow the ST north along 69 to B Street. Return to Scoville via E. Chippens twisties (same twisties we road south last time, but in reverse.) Thoughts?
