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

2knees can't make it.

 

[MR. evil]

2knees can't make it.

But he is going to try to mak Sundays ride at the Rez

 

[severine]

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

Glad I'm not the newb of the bunch.

You'll definitely be home by 8:30. I am NOT planning on a long ride tonight, Carrie and I have some time limitations as well.

Just an FYI. The double bridge in the warm-up twisties appears to have been wiped out:

Might make crossing tricky...

That sucks! One of my goals for my next couple of rides there was to ride across those 2 bridges. Even if they fix them, the new ones they will be in much better shape and easier to ride. So it just won't be same.

How about a last minute roll call:

Grassi & The GIANT

Anyone want to place a bet on which fails first? :lol:

 

[MR. evil]

Im out, just not long enough of a ride to make the drive worth it. I will be at the Rez on Sunday. Plus a friend of mine is going to stop by tonight afterwork to drop off some bike tools. I need a crank puller / bottom bracket tool for a square taper BB so I can replace Randi's crank and BB. A buddy gave me a new FSA crankset, and I bought her a sweet white bashguard to go along with it.

We have dark skies and thunder right now in Hartford...no rain yet.

 

[bvibert]

Looks like some heavy rain just went through Burlington....

 

[Greg]

Well, on a positive note, hopefully that's the last of it...

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Do you guys still bike if it's raining???

Light rain, sure. It's more an issue of wetness, read: mud, on the trails. You tend to do more damage when it's wet which is what you want to avoid.
