Gotta be too good to be true. A $4K bike for $1,600 with one ride on it? That doesn't add up for me.

I was guessing that it's hot and/or much more abused than let on.

I would be more concerned about getting hurt when it finally breaks than having to walk out.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to wreck the guy's spirits.

If/when you get an AM/ free ride bike, it's going to be a different world for you Pat. Scary proposition actually. :-o

I haven't seen more than his home video, but knowing Pat I agree with this assessment.

What time you looking to start at? Also will Friday nights bar time affect this ride?

If anyone is interested, free to pm me.

You still looking to ride tomorrow? Let me know, I think they are calling for rain around noon.

umm no. My life insurance policy isnt good enough for that one.

Jeff, i was looking at an afternoon ride but the weather seems kinda lame.

Maybe I'll go catch the second leg since it looks like everyone is bailing after the first part and in hopes they will be going slower.

Do the first half Jeff!! That's when all the fun trail riding is going to happen...and at a very manageable pace!!

The second half is only me and Mountainman at this point...after riding a moderate pace with a bigger group for the first half, I guarantee that he's going to push the 2nd half pace to finish before the big rains come...mountainman is the fastest rider I've ever encountered!! I will be doing everything in my power to stay with him, including tying a chain to his bike to pull me!!

In the 2nd half of the ride is a NASSTY climb/hike a bike up Johnnycake Mountain followed by some decent trail on the ridgeline and the downhill back to route 69...THEN, it will be a climb up the Cornwall downhill followed by the Nemesis climb across GW tpike...:smash:

Trust me, the first half will be really enjoyable and you'll keep up fine...We'll be stopping at Scoville probably twice for food and water refills. At the second stop it's around 18-22 miles in...
