Ride tonight

Not sure how the ride will shake out tonight.  I have to work so won't be there but if it's not raining, Gina plans to be there so the ride will go on.  As last I checked, the weather looked like rain but keep your fingers crossed.

Monday Ride

Yeah, you guys are on your own there.  We just had another stoking day.  Did Chutes and Ladders,  Kessel's Run, Joe's Ridge, and Prime cut yesterday and today we did Zippety do-da and Horse thief bench. The drop in to Horse thief bench is every bit of knar it is made out to be.  Totally sick.  Of to Moab tomorrow to do Porcupine...

Ride should be on tonight but it'll have to be without me or Gina.  We partied too much on her birthday and need to rest.  I think some of the regulars should be there though.

Actually just noticed the weather forecast and I guess we'll just have to play it by ear.  If it's not raining, I'm planning on being out there.  Just make sure you check the radar before going.

Looking pretty good for Monday's ride...keep in touch.   I should have a good amount of homebrew here in a week or two to share...whether it's good or not will be up to you to decide.  They're post ride's all the same  I guess.

I can't wait until my next

I can't wait until my next MNR.  I'm healing up well though - significantly improved range of motion.  I think the cartligage is growing/forming at this stage, which is then going to calcify into bone.  Pretty farkin cool.  This may be ambitious, but I hope to be at an MNR in early September, maybe even at the end of August!

MNR is still a go but you

MNR is still a go but you guys will be leaderless tonight, oh no!  We pulled the trigger yesterday, in drunken haze from our latest B2B fiasco, on some tickets to see Arcade Fire with Spoon at the Mann Center.  Jay Wells said he was for sure riding since his alternative would be to help his girl assemble some Ikea furniture which no self respecting man wants to be involved in.   So, ride is on, have fun!  Don't feel sorry for me not getting a ride in though, Fulton and I are heading over to Belmont here in a bit.

Hey Mike, 

Sorry we lost you somehow and thanks for dropping the light off at the cars.  What happened?  We all thought your were right with us on the cornhole and Gina was waiting for you.  She even went back down.  I'm just glad you found your way out but was wondering what happened.  Mechanical?

Hey all,

I have to work the overnight shift on Monday and will probably skip the ride to sleep a little before I go in.  I will probably hit up Brandywine during the day since I've always wanted to check it out.  Anyone who's been there got any tips?

Shit, shit, and more shit.  Looks like rain.  It's a little difficult to tell because several places have differing forecasts, but it's been raining and I have some work to do tonight so I'm just going to call it.  Keep checking the site, though, because if it looks good later I may change my mind.  Doubtful for now though.

Well, looks like it's going

Well, looks like it's going to be raining tonight.  I have to work anyway so it's a good time to water the trails.  I actually have a bad stretch coming up where I have to work like 3-4 Monday nights in a row.  Anyhow, if I'm not there, Gina usually will be.

On another note, we're trying to go to Rothrock this weekend for some riding.  I found a campsite in the park that should be easy access to the trails.  I sent out a couple e-mails but I don't have everyone's address so I thought I'd post here and see if I got any takers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we are going and we would leave Friday night.  So far it would be you, me, Gina, and Jay.  If anyone else wants to go, let me know ASAP so I can book a campsite before they get full. 

 

Tyler, send me an email at urban.dustin@gmail.com, I don't have yours for some reason.  My number is 816-645-6757 also

Does not look good for riding tonight.  I hear it is still raining out and I'm sore as hell from all the riding this weekend.  Rothrock is totally awesome if you haven't been up there.  The Greenwood furnace was a great campsite except the psycho host who is real anal about where your dog can go.

Well, sheeeeeeeiiiiiit.  I'm going to go ahead and call this one.  Radar looks like crap, it's cold, and it's Adam's birthday so I think we are going to bag this one in preference of drinking some beer.  I'm waiting to hear from Adam on where he wants to go and will let you all know.
