We rode that a couple of time last year with Don, XP, and Ray. You guys met them @ GB that one time. It's pretty fun and you can loop it around by crossing that bridge that is usually covered by water.

So did we end up with a decision of GB at 10:00?

Mostly parts off my old bike. The frame is new and the fork is new to me via fleabay.
This bike is re-****ing-cockulous. I was riding straight up curbs and over small cars yesterday. It's been like 10 years since I had a full squish. Can't wait to get it dirty... but who knows when I'll have time...

I rode a little bit today and felt like crap. All that working long hours on my feet and no riding took it's toll. I will need to attach a small anchor on you guys to keep up Saturday.

I think part of the problem I was having the last time you rode with us is too little air pressure. I didn't realize it, but my pressure was way low and that was sucking up a lot of energy. Mike noticed my rear tire flexing big time while we were riding last week, so I aired up to about 30lbs and the difference was incredible. I think I'm gonna go to 35 in the rear and 30 in the front and see how that works, then possibly 40/35 until I find the happy medium of stiffness/rolling resistance.

Yay riding!
I got my REI dividend this week so I went and blew it last night.
Got a Topeak Joe Blow floor pump, Crank Bros C17 mini-tool, some grub, some magazines and a little clip for the camelbak hose. Not a bad haul
