Bonus points that lowball has a comment on there
NICE!!!!!!!

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.

I did the Sweetwater thing and crossed the bridge with Bert sometime in the early winter. It was fun but a bit short. There were a few places I had to walk. Lance probably rode them.

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...

Yes, it should be warm and sunny.

I'm just dreading the allergies that will be coming...

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'll drink Friday night

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
