Going to hit Mesh after work on Wed. Looking to get rolling around 5:00 or 5:30 seeing how we have less daylight. We will ride Mesh as long as Paul can make this ride and lead. If Paul cannot make this ride we will just ride Case Mt. out of Line street instead.

I would like too, but I think it's too far away, especially to make that start time...

My schedule is pretty clean at this point, for Wednesday. The location is nice too, not too far from home :)

Lets see if we have a tour guide and dial in the time....

I should be game provided I have the kids covered for a couple hours, and I shouldn't have an issue w/that.

BTW - rode tonight and the elbow is kewl.. psyched.. not 100% but good enough to ride and not want to cry at every tug or push on the bars.

Suggested spot

this is in the "heart" of the forest, so there's a lot of dirt fireroad and stuff. If that's a problem I can try to find something more asphalt friendly.


I'm right down the road, so I'll defer the time question.

5:30 good then ?

Might be there a couple minutes earlier(5:15ish).. but 5:30 is solid for me.. and I am expecting some nasty traffic through the Middletown toward that Portland Bridge area..

How about this, meet time 5:15 to 5:30.

I checked out some of the Mesh bids on YouTube, if it's not too hot I may wear my full face helmet just incase. We should see if 2knees can make this ride.

Gnarly ST is everywhere, the bridges and man-made stunts are fairly well hidden, and deep down the trails. We've got about 2 hours of daylight, we'll do what we can.
