That would be awesome! You can put your new skills to the test.

I just want to not be the worst rider of the group.

[bvibert]

See you guys tomorrow at 6ish. Most of you know my cell number if anything changes.

 

[Grassi21]

hit the bike shop. new tires, tubes, and a helmet. i got a great deal on the helmet because it is pink.

 

[Greg]

Sweet! Pink, huh? That's appropriate. I got the Trek all tuned up for Mr. Knees. Provide he doesn't sally out.

[powhunter]

i took the reflectors off yesterday afternoon. i don't want to look like a total gaper. ;-)

 

[severine]

Woohoo! I'm joining you guys tonight!!!!

Now hopefully the sky won't look so threatening later on today like it does right now...

An effort in futility.

Sweet! This is going to be fun. Nass is pretty saturated these days so let's hope we avoid any more rain.

 

[o3jeff]

Sun is starting to come thru the overcast here in Glastonbury, hopefully we don't get any rain tonight since I haven't ridden in over a week(not really counting mile I did Tuesday since I had to limp the bike back.

Do you guys stay out of the stuff off Scoville when its really wet? Those seem to be the areas that get really muddy and torn up. B-street and the stuff behind the cemetary and up on the ridge seem to drain pretty well.

Awesome! This is gonna be a good ride.

The forecast isn't looking all that great, but hopefully the rain holds off. Staying out of the twisties south of Scoville will probably be a good idea.

The area north of Scoville doesn't get too bad. The area between Scoville and E. Chippens is the worse stretch. Perhaps we could get up to the B street area via that direct section on the Tunxis Trail. Even the cemetery twisties and the top of the ridge was wet on Tuesday.

Well I just PM'd Brian. I am thinking of joining you guys tonight but it depends on what you plan on riding. The Scoville B-street stuff is fun, but alone not worth the 45 minute drive each way on a week night.

I wouldn't expect that we'll be riding much more than that. Probably 3-4 miles tops. We've got a newb with us.

 

[o3jeff]

We've got a newb with us.

Just one or will there be more?

 

[bvibert]

Just one, and Carrie, but I don't consider her a newb.

 

[o3jeff]

I thought Grassi and 2knees were both coming. Are one of them exempt from newb status?
