MTB - Nassahegan RAW, 8/5/08

[bvibert]

I'm going to get out for a ride Tuesday night this week. I'm thinking Lamsons at 6ish.

Anyone else care to join me?

 

[Greg]

I hope to make it since I'll be out if a ride happens on Thursday. Whatcha thinkin'? Reverse loop?

 

[bvibert]

I definitely can't do Thursday either, so this is it for me this week. We can try a reverse loop if you want, but I still think there's going to be a bunch of hike-a-bike. We could also do some exploring on some of the trails that lead over to the stone road stuff...

I hope I can find the time to swap my rear wheel tomorrow, since I broke a spoke tonight... :roll:

I'll be there, probably will still be sore and whining about it.

We can also do some exploring north of Scoville to see what is there that we can incorporate into the end of season epic ride.

I would even do an out-and-back on that stretch paralleling 69. I love it in there.

 

[o3jeff]

I've only been in there twice, once each way and the last time I was so far behind you guys I didn't enjoy it since I was just pedaling to keep up, but would love to go ride it again.

 

[bvibert]

Looks like they changed the forecast to be a slight chance of rain this evening. I'm still going unless it's raining hard at 5:30 (or the radar looks really bad).

I'm thinking of incorporating a trip to the devil's kitchen area from the cornwall area..

 

[o3jeff]

If you want post up a track and I will load it this afternoon so we will have some direction.

How about an abbreviated version of this:

Cemetery twisties, do the big climb (wouldn't mind trying it on the new bike) and then bang a right on the trail we noticed coming in before we cross the forest access road. Them loop it east and south back around. Some DT in there it seems. Just a thought. I really don't care.

What you mentioned sounds good to me. I'll load that track this afternoon.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Did you clear the climb yet? That's my goal tonight. Jeff - download that sucker!

 

[o3jeff]

HELP When I go to load it, it says it has over 500 points and i should simplify it or it will truncate(whatever that means. If i hit load anyways it comes up on th GPS as "track truncated"

How do I simplify it of shorten the track?

 

[o3jeff]

Nevermind, looks like I outsmarted it. Appears to be loaded.

 

[Greg]

6:15 is a best case for me. If you guys get antsy, head out and I'll do my best to catch up.

 

[severine]

I hope you guys aren't getting washed out. It's been pouring here for the last 50 minutes or so.

 

[o3jeff]

We didn't run into any rain on the ride and I didn't notice any trace of rain when I got home. Must of took a northerly track.

Second time we averted rain in the area. Was actually very pleasant weather tonight.
