Heading out after work again Thursday night. Thinking that Nass will be the place, but I'll entertain other nearby options.

If no one else is gonna make it then I'm going to head straight to lamson's from work, looking a 5ish start time if that's the case. I may be open to a later start if it means company.

Looks like this is gonna turn into a slower paced Newb type ride, with some bike maintenance lessons ahead of time. We'll be meeting at Lamsons at 6 for anyone who's interested in tagging along.

What are you calling yourself a newb with bike problems since so far you are the only one going?

Actually I will probably be there on the Rockhopper. If you remember please bring your pedal wrench or else I am really going to have some problems riding.

I will have my pedal wrench. There's at least one other AZer who's supposed to come with his old rigid ride. That's where the pre-ride maintenance lessons come in. ;) There may be one other victi....err I mean rider too..

Should I bring the Jamis too in case one of the "other" bikes explode? :lol:

Might not be a bad idea, though if the urban assault vehicle has survived our rides I think just about anything can. :lol:

Wow. :blink: You are a brave man posting that. Let me remind everyone however about johnnypoach's first bike:



As I understand it, the full suspension upgrade was worse. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing that yet. You got him beat for at least having a known brand.

This is gonna be a hoot.
