MTB: RAW Case Tuesday 06-29-10

[Grassi21]

Will we be seeing you tomorrow?

Unfortunately not. I think I still have a MTB but I have to check.

 

[MR. evil]

Can't make Tues, going to do Wed instead. My riding shoes are still soaking wet and it's doubtful they will be dry for tomorrow. Next time I jump in a pond after a ride I will take my shoes off first.

You expect us to believe that excuse? It's about 100 degrees out side, leave them out they should be dry in no time.

 

[o3jeff]

i havent done anything on my bike since last sept. whatever you guys were planning on doing, dont alter it for me.

Let me know if your still interested and what time works for you, looks like Tim is out so us 40 year olds can go hobble around trails if you want!

 

[bvibert]

Hmmm... Maybe, if I can get into work early enough... That's a tall order for me though, so I don't know.

They have been on my porch all day and are still really wet. Those FiveTens have a lot of padding that's holding lots of water.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on if my Achilles heals. Damn thing's been bugging me for the last couple weeks.

Not to discourage you, but 84E thru Hartford from about 4-6pm will be stop and go from the Park Rd exit up until you cross the river. Not as bad west bound, but still a lot of traffic which is why I don't mind riding Case right after work.

If you guys want we can do the Res instead. I can be there anytime after 5 and there will be plenty of drops for Pat.

Why were you swimming with your shoes on?

 

[WoodCore]

Would love to ride with you guys but probably can't make it out to Case until at least 6pm maybe a tad bit earlier at the Rez or Nass. F-ing work!

 

[MR. evil]

Why were you swimming with your shoes on?

We both had a change of clothes and flip flops in the car....but didn't feel like going back to the car to get the flip flops. Seeing how our towels were also in the car we thought it would just be easier to jump into the water with our shoes than try and get wet feet back into our shoes. We both have FiveTen high tops that are very difficult to put on. Trying to get we feet into them would have been impossible.

Aren't you glad you asked

Good point, I hadn't considered the traffic. Probably not much chance of making it to Case then... I wouldn't mind the Rez, but don't change your ride for me. Case sounds like a better fit for Pat anyway (if he's going???)...

 

[bvibert]

There's absolutely no chance of me making Case today. I wish I had a good excuse, like my shoes were still too wet, but I didn't sleep well last night and as a result I hit the snooze button a few too many times this morning.. Lame I know...

I could do the Rez by 6ish or Nass by 5:45.

 

[o3jeff]

Lets see if the Birthday boy is still planning on going and if he wants to ride the Res or Case. Case may not be as fun for him as the res with out Tim or Trev there to demonstrate. Case has a ton of rollers/up and overs, but you really need to put an effort in to get up them in order to roll them. There is three wooded jumps there that with some luck I should be able to find! But other than that not a lot of drops there.

There are a shot load of drops there, Just not a lot Trev and I bother to even look at becuase they are well out of our comfort zone (for now )....but perfect for Pat. All you have to do is turn you head and you will see something you can jump off. Most of the rollers we ride also have a drop lines. Still lots of huge rocks / cool lines in the woods we haven't taken you to yet either. You really need to ride with us the next time we go with my buddy Murph to see all its potential.

But there is also a ton of stuff to huck at the Rez. Im sure Pat will find plenty of places to trash a wheel

Sir, you'll need to make an appointment.

 

[o3jeff]

Well B, you still up for the res? What time works for you?

It'll be 6 by the time I can get there and get ready.

That'll work for me, hopefully some of this heat will go away by then too.
