7:00 AM in the commuter parking lot this Sunday? a few people have mentioned wanting to try out Trumbull. I've got a basic idea of the trail system and the place is small so we can't really get lost.

i could sleep late and start at 8:00 if travel distance is an issue anyone.

How about forgoing some of that beauty sleep instead? It doesn't seem to be helping much anyway. ;) Man up and ride early! You then have an entire day left.

I might be down for this. I'll follow up closer to the weekend.

the earlier the better for me, i have non-MTB plans with family for late morning. prefer 7, but 8:00 AM would be my latest start time.

How long do you anticipate the ride being? I'd need to wrap it up around 10 am, but would prefer to ride 3 hours vs. just 2. I can be there for 7 am no problem, but if the majority wants 8 am, I'll roll with it.

How bout wheels up @ 8 (that means riding at 8 not pulling into the lot :smile:) I've got Hugo on board and he knows this place like the back of his hand. Trumbull really isn't that big so you can get out fast if you need to leave. 2 hours is alot of time here.

Wheels up or down? ;) I'm cool with hitting trail at 8 am and riding till 10-10:30. I'm a strong maybe, I'll confirm closer to the weekend.

I'm planning on riding somewhere on Sunday, I might make it down to Trumbull with you. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to be driving that far yet though...

I was sucking wind after 15 minutes

Sounds normal to me...

fwiw, once you get on rt 8 (or 84 if that is closer) it is a very easy ride, all highway.

Trumbull might be doable for me ...probably about an hour or so with no traffic up the meritt. I just don't know if I have enough time for an hour each way and a 2 hour ride this Sunday. If I can make it I will post again by tomorrow night.

I do want to get out and ride (and ski) with the AZ crew!
