Scott's Ride 5-8-10 Hebron, CT

[mondeo]

Nope, new to me.

You're over-thinking it, I'd be more concerned with tire-pressure.

I'm also struggling with bike choice. Should I go with my hardtail, or rigid? Maybe even my old Diamondback hybrid with bent spokes?

Probably in, good cause and sounds like a few cool AZers (and Paul) that I haven't met yet.

Road bike ought to do it.

 

[Marc]

So where is this parking lot? I've only been to Grayville once, but the only parking I remember is the little dirt turn off near the bottom of the hill.

 

[MR. evil]

just got a call from my LBS, my fork is back from getting rebuilt by SRAM. All the internals are new. So it looks like I will be able to get my squish bike built up for this weekend.

Right. So rigid it is.

So Saturday is looking to be kind of wet. Is there a rain date?

The bike shouldn't melt in the rain

The bike shouldn't melt in the rain

Not worried about that. I don't really know what the trails are like there and I know riding on muddy trails is frowned upon.

I guess it will be an all day bbq at Pauls then

I'm not planning on riding in the rain, that's for sure. Even if there wasn't the issue of trail preservation, I have enough trouble when trails are dry.

I'm ok with that ...

I'll ride if it's still on. Might be a little shorter than planned though.

 

[Marc]

Back in the day when MTB'ing wasn't as popular, no one worried about ripping up wet trails because there wasn't the volume of traffic to do any harm. So all of you need to quit riding so I can be selfish again.

 

[severine]

Wait...when did you stop being selfish? :-?

Hehheh. That's true.

Severine from beyond the arc.

Paul, let us know what to do as far as where to meet and parking since it sounds like it is limited. Also if there is anything going on post ride and if I need to bring anything, food, beverages, comforters, chips, etc.

:lol:

Is there a backup plan with rain? When I checked last night, it was looking like 70% chance of substantial rain.

That's what the comforter would be for.... I think Wa-loaf got a new one for his B-day last week

Sounded like it's going to blow through in the morning, which should be ok for the afternoon ride unless the place is really wet.

I just wish you and Paul hadn't used it first.
