Met up with Woodcore, Bvibert, Greg, and Yesmandroc for a ride at the forbidden forest. The Yesman snapped his chain within the first quarter mile..fixed it and we were off!! I really digged the place, a mixture of short climbs, rock gardens, rollers, and drops. Brian broke his seatpost again and had to N-Rig it with a tire tube again!! Kept on rolling though, must have been uncomfortable as hell!!

2knees definitely missed out on a good ride. Only about 5.25 miles with a bunch of sessioning. Good times guys, thanks to everyone that came out. There was no shortage of beer post ride either, that's for sure.

I'm pissed at myself for not being able to make that rock you got the picture of. I just couldn't get on it. I felt much better when I rolled the second one with no problem. I bet if I went back up and hit it again after that I would have had no problem. Oh well, there's always next time. Good on Woodcore and Greg for getting up that the reverse direction, and to Steveo for trying it first, mostly successfully.

Indeed. Thanks for the heads-up about the ride this morning. Glad I could pull it off. Not a big mile ride, but enough. Stone Road makes you work for miles and quite honestly I didn't need much more. Hope my corny ass video shoot of WoodCore came out okay. Glad you guys got a laugh out of that. Yesman - good to meet you. Brian - sorry about the seat post, pow - always a pleasure, bud....nice bike! Grassi and 2knees - you were missed.

That sucks that you have a real job and responsibilities... Get yourself demoted, you'll be happier that way. ;)

Next time blow off that work shit and come ride, the work will still be there the next day!

Good rip this evening everyone! Despite the mechanicals and the oppressive humidity, it was great to once again ride with Greg and Steveo and to hook up with some of the regulars, Bvibert and Yesmandroc!!! We didn't cover a ton of miles but something has to be said for quality versus quantity......tonights ride was 100% quality! Had a super time!

Anyway here's a few video clips.....

Enjoy!

I hope someone got some pics of the hack job seat post fix!

The second iteration was truly a masterpiece. There was some major huffing and puffing to achieve that display of awesomeness. The first attempt was a major fail, but I know you really liked the end of the saddle tickling your taint on that climb. Perhaps that explains the heavy breathing.

See, Pat? you missed a good ride. :lol: Brian - please promise that you'll carry a beat up tube from now on.

I'm glad I was able to provide some entertainment! :lol:

I'll say one thing, that section after the first fix was some of most work I've done on a bike this year, but I was concentrating so much on trying to keep going that it went by pretty quickly. :beer:
