I know some of you are thinking of a morning or mid day ride in this thread, but I won't be able to get out until the evening. Anyone want to join me?

I might be up for it. Still not sure if am or pm will work out better yet. Maybe try a new area, like Stone Rd?

That's a possibility. We could always park at the soccer fields and ride down towards Stone Rd. to try some of that stuff out.

What kind of start time are we looking at here? An evening ride looks like the easier sell for me at this point.

Whatever works for everyone. I should be home by 2ish at the latest on Sunday, so anytime after like 3ish should work for me. I was thinking of more like 5-6, but am flexible. I wouldn't mind getting started earlier than normal so that there's not as much threat of it getting dark before we're done/

Done. Wanna meet at the soccer fields, or the stone road lot? Soccer fields are going to be easier to get to.

Let's do Soccer Fields. We'll plan a route tomorrow as I'm about to pass out.

Nate's gotta be lovin' all the Crankfire links. :beer: I told him tonight that I love his site. I find the maps very useful, radical even.

Sounds like a plan to me. I've been putting off packing for the wedding this weekend for a couple hours tonight already. ;)

Greg, don't forget the camera cause if JP is bringing his FS bike, I am sure you will get some good footage.

Nope. I'm on route finding/GPS duty. If you guys want media, someone else will need to be on duty. ;)

Looks like the weather is gonna be in our favor with the t-storms not forecasted to hit until well after this ride. It's warm out there, but pretty dry with a nice breeze. Should be a great ride this evening!

Greg, do you have some route ideas picked out?

I printed out that area and have a few ideas. I think we might be able to include part of one of the other loops we know - that stretch between the forest access road and Cornwall Road. It might take until 8:30 to finish the loop I'm thinking of though.... :lol: New GPS will be on board. Leaving in 20 mins.
