Sorry, dude You didn't hold us up though - the breaks we took were welcome, and in my opinion, waiting for everyone to catch up periodically is a safety thing. I'd hate it if someone had an accident and the rest of the ride kept going, and person who wrecked was stuck out there for a while

 

Yeah I hear what you're saying bro. Well, as long as you don't mind waiting. Only thing is I have to be home by 3:30 - 3:45 latest. Think last time I was right on point. Think we finished at 2:30ish...

 

Well, I cleaned out my bottom bracket tonight and there was definitely some mud and debris in there.

But after putting the crank back together, my front derailleur is way off (not sure how that happened). Some of the noise I may have been hearing could have been the chain rubbing against the front derailleur. It's definitely doing it now.

I'll see if the bike shop can get it fixed by Saturday (and also replace my rear derailleur as it has gotten worse).

 

Mike - how's yer bike doing?

Also, the 07 racing schedule for Prairie City is posted :wiggle:

New XTR rear derailleur should be done today. They'll also readjust my front one that I knocked out of whack after putting my crankset back in.

I'll pick it up on my way out to the trail tomorrow morning.

 

Dude! Sweet!

The 18 miles is just about right. You're out there for long enough that the drive is even more justified and you get a kick *** workout (nearly double the workout we normally get )

 

More like "assssssss kicking" workout! Taken me a week to recover.

 

Yes, but after tomorrow's ride, it will only take you 3 days to recover.

 

Lol, my legs were a little fatigued Sunday, then I rode Monday too and my legs hurt climbing the stairs until yesterday :rotfl:

 

Nice ride today, dudes, even though I suffered the entire time I can't remember the last ride we had when I was so glad to see the car as I was today.

 

Any photos??? Thought I saw you snap a couple...

 

Hey, Mike - I forgot the tire setup that Randy is running, can you remind me?

Also, any riding this coming weekend?

 

WTB Velociraptor's as seen here: http://biketiresdirect.com/productde...2988&c=6773377

I'm up for Saturday or Sunday (preferably Sunday, but I can do either)

Where to this time?

 

I don't know, what are you guys feeling? I'd be down for another long ride, I really like that loop. I just need to eat better next time.

Maybe we could ride Olmstead and cut down to the dam, then maybe up to the lot on 49 and back? or something.

 

Oh, hey, guys, I've been looking around for a good FAQ but can't really find anything. When I'm looking at the tires I see different compounds listed and such - do you guys know what the different compounds are good for as far as trail conditions, temp, etc?
