As all good things must come to an end, so does summer break. I introduce to you the Fall 2010 ride topic; as always, please read, think, and click on the answer.
Official Group Rides: Fall 2010
- All rides leave from Memorial Union, UND Campus, including travel to Turtle River SP for MTB.
- Helmets are required
- When posting, include date, time, expected route/length/duration (or TBD) and type of ride (road, mountain, around town, urban assault, hub, etc.). Since some people don't have time to watch this thread all day, please try to have the time worked out before you post up.
- Anyone can post a ride. This means you!
Terminology:
- No drop: the whole group rides as slow as the slowest rider. Focus is on camaraderie and group skills (pacelines, rotations, three-man drops, etc.). Applied to road rides.
- Around town: group ride on whatever bike you happen to feel like riding. Focus is on exploration, hanging out, and usually finding something to eat.
- Training (or "not a no drop"): Road ride at an accelerated pace dictated by how the group is feeling or a training schedule. If you can't keep up, you will get dropped off the back and may have to ride home alone (although we try to avoid these things). Focus is on replicating harder race-pace efforts.
- Urban assault: Some people like to huck off of things; this type of ride is for them. Focus is on hucking off of things.
- Helmet: that thing you wear on your head when you ride with UNDCC.
-
I also want to add, I talk to LOTS of people who seem to think that they "don't have the right bike" for a particular ride.
I wouldn't really worry too much about that. Our goal is to get you riding. If someone posts a no-drop ride and you want to show up on your cruiser/trackbike/fixed gear/hybrid/whatever, please do. If you have a helmet and a bike, you can ride. Now... we'll be realistic with you, if you're showing up on a bike that either isn't safe or is largely inappropriate for the type of ride the group will be doing, we'll tell you that...
*** BUT we'll ALSO give you tips/pointers/coupons/deals for stuff to get ur bike into shape!***
Some of us are very experienced mechanics and may even be able to fix something RIGHT THERE! Now hows THAT for service! If not, most of us are willing to take an hour or two to help you wrench on your stuff to get it right (and safe)
If it's just the wrong type of bike, that isn't a problem either. We'll perhaps suggest a route that you're able to ride part of it with us, and then the group may ride the rest and if you get dropped you get dropped, maybe someone will HAVE a bike for sale or to borrow so that you CAN come and ride with us, or maybe we'll suggest when you should come check out a particular ride that is suited specifically to your bicycle!
Bottom line... we aren't haters. Just come and ride.
-
Lads... I know this is VERY short notice. I am officially done with airplane nonsense. Ride leaving from the Union at about 4pm. 8/20
We'll hang out for a few extra mins. Prolly just do a Merrifield and it will be a No-Drop... SLOW Road Ride.
Questions... feel free to ring me or beek!
PEACE!
-
No Drop ride leaving from the Union at about 430-445. This will be a SLOW road ride again. Bring water... dishsoap is not necessary.
Anyone riding please use EXTREME caution riding on/around campus. With people moving into the dorms there is quite alot of "not following" the traffic laws... watch for doors and people excited about moving into a dorm... for some reason...
-
Weren't you just telling me how excited you were to move into the dorms when you first got here? :mystery:
-
No... I wasn't excited at all... the only reason I was even considering dorms was to get a cheap ass UND apt...
-
who can ride today around 3:00? I'm thinking a chill Merrifield loop
-
Go take down green paper from AC
-
Logan and I are going to get green things now. Might be at a group ride at 3 (personally I doubt it since I've not been able to ride the entire alleycat course in under 3 hours ever).
If people are still interested, we encourage interest. Sanders... take this over or something.
-
i wouldn't be able to go until maybe later...about 6
-
No drop (easy) Group Ride Tomorrow (sept. 1st) at 5:00!
:undcc:
Meet at the union
Helmets required
bring a spare tube if you have one just in case
:bananas:
-
Notify Ted and or Beek as I've mentioned it was 530 to them.
-
c u there. and dave I am planning on paying you back w/ a tube and a C02 cartridge
-
Hi im new in town
anybody thinking or want to ride over labor weekend where i can join?
-
Hi gyudon, welcome to Grand Forks!
I think a lot of people will be participating in or volunteering for END-AR this Saturday, so I'm not sure how many riders you can find for that day...
BUT--the best way to find people to ride with is to post up that you are riding on day X, at time Y, leaving from place Z (usually people leave from the UND union). You don't need to wait for any sort of "official" announcement from the club. After you post, people will usually pop out of the woodwork to say they can show up at that time or not.
Personally, I'll probably be available to ride Sunday or Monday afternoon but I may be interested in mountain biking more than road.
-
ride is still on, there looks to be some precip coming...bring rain gear if you have some...no ride if its thunderstorming.
If you are a newer guy and don't want to ride in the rain thats fine to there will be plenty more rides
-
ride 5:00 from union- easy no drop ride... bring helmet about 21 mile ride
-
Sanders. I will be there.
For those who are curious, you'll want some cold weather stuff perhaps. 60 degrees is pretty cold on the bike, primarily ur feet. Wear a heavier sock, and if people don't have cycling cold weather gear... we won't make fun of you for showing up in a hoodie or something.
-
Sorry for the late notice, but I will be heading out for a road ride today from the Union at 5:05 PM. Wear warm clothes and lights if you have them. We'll go as fast as people want to go, since I'll probably be the slowest rider.
Today looked a lot better than yesterday in terms or precip, but it still might rain a bit. Show up anyway if you're in the area around then and we can talk about bikes or something if we can't ride.
-
Lads... I'm planning a MOUNTAIN BIKE ride (bring anything really... well with tires 28c minimum is prolly safe) at Turtle River.
The ride will be Sunday Morning because I enjoy freezing my ass off. Hopefully the trails will dry out by then, but if not then the ride WILL BE POSTPONED. I DO NOT have any intentions of causing undue trail damage.
The time is TBA but Expect an 8-9am departure from the Union. Car space is limited. Ask questions and BRING TUBES!
Where: Turtle River
What: Chill (as if there's any other type of MTB) MTB ridin.
When: SUNDAY
Time: TBA
Meet at: Union (expect between 8-9)
Helmets required.
If you did not receive an email for this please subscribe to this thread. If you would like to receive the TEXT included IN that email please follow the steps here: http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?topic=5308

Dave (et al.),
Beek and I are up for riding and would be able to bring 2 others in his Jeep if needed.
-
We can also throw a bike or two on the back if people want to come and ride with Plantains.

We'll be meeting at 8:30. Leaving NO LATER THAN 9AM!!
In short... if you plan on being there and aren't going to show up at like 8:35 then you should post or call because We'll just leave as soon as we get peeps bikes racked up.
The weather (while nice) its super windy, so screw road rides and come get dirty. Turtle river isn't too serious, crappy bikes can easily survive.
-
ill be there, if there is still room.
-
Tons of room.
-
sorry I wasn't able to make it, I have a lot on my plate today..

Road ride today at 5:25 PM!
Bring helmets, road bicycles, tubes (if you have them), and a smashingly good attitude!
When: 5:25 PM (we will leave at 5:30)
Where: Memorial Union
What: Road ride (no-drop)
How far: 20-30 miles
Who: YOU!
I'm calling this "no-drop" because I'd like to see as many people as possible. We'll negotiate the pace on the fly, but if you're worried about being left behind, rest assured that NOBODY will be riding home alone.
-
I would come but i have class at 7.. and it's a test
-
I will be there pending my SPSS lab.

How long do you expect the ride to be?
-
Is anyone free today to ride about 5:30? I can't guarantee I will be there because I have a lot of things going on, but I figured I would ask.

Hey guys...
Do you have normally scheduled rides (time/meeting place) during the weekdays?
I will be in town early next week and would like to join for a road ride if possible.
I was a member of the UND Cycling Team about 10 years ago. I'll be in GF visiting my family, so if anyone is game for heading out, let me know!
Thanks!
Brian

Brian your best bet is to subscribe to this thread. You can even get the text in an email if you want.
Our group rides go out on a non scheduled basis per se, but anyone can post them. We always start and end at the union. So basically, when you get into town post up on a day when you plan to ride and a time and head to the union and other cyclists will likely meet you. Most rides go about 5 oclock ish, but you can post whatever you'd like.
The wx next week doesn't look great, but we'll see... I'd love to get out with you.
-
Townie ride going out at 530pm as per the notification email.
Meet at the union
Bring any bike you want
Bring a helmet
-
Great ride tonight over to NHRG/SBS and Mama Maria's. Even if my light did burn out and Ali's light burned out my retinas.
-
Lads I know its rather short notice but since football is sucking im going out for maybe 50 miles. Anyone can come. I'll be riding at my own pace. I'd say plan on 3 hours when all is said and done.
I'll be at the union at about 345.
-
1. Possible (weather pending) longer ride Thursday in the early afternoon. Planning on Thompson loop. Stay tuned to this topic for details or get in touch with Plantains (http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?action=profile;u=321).
2. Group cruiser ride Friday at 5:30. Meet in the front of the Union with your helmets and good spirits. Where we ride is TBD, but we'll most likely find some food. Ride any bike you want. New people are especially invited to show up!
New officers: we're looking to you for leadership, so come out and ride!
-
What time are you planning on riding tommorow for the tompson loop?
-
It's looking like a no-ride day for me unless the precipitation forecast inverts itself this afternoon. :hmh:
-
Yeah... the wx sucks.
-
Are we still planning on a cruiser ride tomorrow at 5:30 if the weather is nice?
-
Are we still planning on a cruiser ride tomorrow at 5:30 if the weather is nice?
Yep, in general... if we post a ride, it will happen unless we post to cancel it. Just for continuity and so some of the new guys know whats up.
Currently the wx doesn't seem to know what it's doing. It looked amazing yesterday, but looks only good right now. But I'd think that it will still go down with the forecast models I'm looking at currently.

Women's group ride 5:30 pm Sunday, meet at the Union, 15 miles
-
oops scratch that it's starts at 6 pm!
-
Lauren, if you create an account you can modify your own posts and fix things. Plus you'll get updates when someone replies.
Just a reminder:
Group cruiser ride Friday at 5:30. Meet in the front of the Union with your helmets and good spirits. Where we ride is TBD, but we'll most likely find some food. Ride any bike you want. New people are especially invited to show up!
Ladies and gents are all welcome!

Women ride-NICE!! It's good to see that happening. Keep it up ladies!
-
Women ride-NICE!! It's good to see that happening. Keep it up ladies!
Yeah, we'll have to get an update from Lauren on how it went.
Road ride today. I'm bumping things to 5:15 departure because we're running out of daylight. Wind is out of the NW so I'm thinking we can extend reverse airport loop or something. Pace will be dictated by whoever shows up. Meet at the Union, wear a helmet, and new people are (as always) welcome to show up.
In case people haven't been keeping track, Tuesday seems like a bad day for those of us who have been posting rides, so feel free to schedule something tomorrow. It can't be a bad day for the whole club, right?
-
HEY! I will be able to ride today.. anytime after 2:00, does a 5:00 sound feasible?
-
5:00 is probably good. The light is coming in fast.
I won't be able to make it of course, because I have class until 645. Nonetheless.
-
I'll be able to make it at 5
-
I get out of class close to 5, so if you make it closer to 5:15 I will be there
-
yea we can push it back to 5:15.
-
Group ride today at 5 anyone?

women's group ride sunday 6 pm-7:30ish meet at the Union anyone interested can email me if they have a question......... [email protected]
-
Hey Lauren... you should probably tell them to bring lights. It'll be getting dark. How'd the last one go?
-
yupp I made a facebook event and told them to bring lights.....unfortunately this is really the only time that works for most and one of the only times I won't possibly be scheduled at the shop or doing school stuff so maybe it's a night ride? I might switch it to Sunday mornings though at some point. Last week went well. We had about four altogether and went for about 15 miles on the greenway and hopefully a few other people can make it this week too!
-
1. Cruiser ride today (Friday) at 5:15 at the Union. Wear a helmet and ride your sexiest bicycle. We'll go wherever people want to go (greenway, points of interest, food, geocaching, etc.).
2. Ladies' ride on Sunday:
women's group ride sunday 6 pm-7:30ish meet at the Union anyone interested can email me if they have a question......... [email protected]
3. Meeting early next week (Monday or Tuesday). Keep checking for time. See meeting minutes (http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?topic=5352.0) from the officers' meeting last night to see what we'll be talking about.
-
FINALLY, I can make one of these rides. Ill be there tonight for the cruiser ride.

Thats super awesome! Who were these mystery people? Get them to come to meetings.
-
Beek could you rip that video for me and bring it tonight if you have time. Thanks!
-
Thanks for reminding me, I'll do it right now.
-
Looks like we're gonna be doing a ride tomorrow (Saturday) at 1pm. It will probably be between 50-60 miles. Bring food and water. Tubes, etc.
If you have questions message me.
There will probably be another ride happening Sunday at 1pm. Also in that same distance range.
These rides will be extensions off of our "normal" loops. SO you can probably still come out, and just check off at the merrifield turn or the thompson turn and make it back solo or in a small group if alot of people decide to head back at the same time.
-
Thompson bridge is open again, so Minnesota Loop is now possible.

Hmmm...
I also just wanted to post that this stupid clipper moved up a little in the forecast, so Sunday is now looking like it will have more ferocious winds (backside of the high pressure system, so think... we just had the front side coming through for those past couple windy days) so Sunday is currently FORECAST to be very windy again (gusts in the 30s).
SO! If you're planning to ride, I'd say that tomorrow is the day. (Sorry beek.) I'll go later with you if you want though?
-
well... is there still a ride at 1? if so i'll be at the union, down for whatever.
-
Yeah. Ride is happening at 1pm today and tomorrow. I was just saying tomorrow will be windy, so come to this ride today because the ride tomorrow may be no good.
-
On account of the wind, and some hw that I hadn't anticipated I'm not riding today at 1pm.
I would assume someone else will still be there...
-
i'm not going to be there either, i have a ton o hw and studying for a test tomorrow..
-
I'm doing other things as well, and I know Ted won't be there either.
-
We're all wankers.
-
Road ride today departing at 5:15. Wear a helmet and bring some food. The more people we have, the easier it will be in this wind. Post up if you have ideas or suggestions on pace.
-
I have class at 7.. So I won't be able to make it. have fun!
-
I'll go for a road ride today! Just got a new cassetttttttttttt.
-
Sorry guys, I have class until 6:00. So I won't be able to make it :(
-
I was wanting to go on one road ride this week or next week, but didn't know how long these typically are. I don't know if I could last more than two hours......Also I obviously don't know how to ride my road bike very well and wouldn't mind some tips. Is there a better day of the week at all for newbies to go?
-
We definitely won't be out for longer than two hours, but if you're worried about lasting that long I would advise bringing food (raisins, clif bar, gummy worms, whatever) and as much water as you think you will need. If we do Merrifield it will be around 25 miles.
With the weather getting chillier and the wind being as unpredictable as it is, my suggestion is to get out and ride while you can. As long as the posted ride isn't a "training ride" or "hard ride," anyone is welcome to show up, even if they haven't ridden with us yet this year.
-
Lauren.
1. You should come out on this ride. Never waste an opportunity to ride or learn in this ND weather.
2. Beek I will accompany you on this ride as I am done failing my test for today.
3. Skip Radio, how you feeling?
4. Wind. Ugh...
Also, if it IS a training ride or a hard ride, you can still show up, but we won't wait for you, and we won't generally be happy if you can't hold your line. THESE ARE THE RIDES TO DO!
Plus. I haven't been hit by a sugar beet truck yet.
-
I am feeling pretty good after that ride on Saturday, once I ate some food I was good to go. I was hoping I could go with you guys today but unfortunately have class until 6:00ish.
Also dave, whenever you want you clips and shoes back let me know and thanks for letting me use them :)
-
Skip... u see the jens voigt thread. Watch those vids. Learn about jens voigt. Thats ur hw.
-
I'll be riding down to volunteer at Northern Heights Rock Gym tomorrow and every other Wednesday. I'll swing by the Union around 4:40 PM to see if anyone wants to ride down with me to go climbing. If you've never ridden down, I can show you the optimal route; it's really not that far to go.
-
Hard- fast pace, Drop, ride tomorrow at 4:00. about 32miles. bring your helmets and bring your A game
15min wrmup

-
Don't forget ur shoes there crash :P
-
Road ride today at 5:15. You have to bring your helmet, but you can bring your B, C, or even D game. For those who are keeping track now, this Thursday ride will be going out for the rest of the semester or until nobody else shows up, in case people are worried about scheduling. New people are welcome, even if we haven't ridden with you before.

I'd rather go later in the day, unless the majority wants to go at 3.
-
Leave union at 5!!!
-
Rides at 5 are how I stay alive.
-
Boom.
-
Leave union at 5!!!
How long is the ride going to be? I'd like to get back around 7-730 to study.
-
I am going to ride today, Tuesday October 12, 2010 leaving the Union at 5:15, I do not know the route yet but thinking 20-30 miles at my pace, which is not very fast, anyone else in? Unless there is cycling meeting that I do not know about
-
Hard (drop) ride today at 4pm leaving from the union, this will be mostly a constant hard ride with a couple random sprints. route is TBD
-
Orange Flash, did you get some riders on Tuesday? Sanders did people show up yesterday?
There will be a road ride (no-drop) today leaving Memorial Union at 4:55 PM. Wear your helmet and bring some food. We won't be going longer than Merrifield loop (~23 miles). New people are welcome--it's not too late to get some good rides in before it snows, and you might as well train up for the cyclocross series (http://talk.campusdakota.com/index.php?topic=5388.msg22535#msg22535).
We'll shortly be moving times up even further because sunset is at 6:41 today.
-
It was just me on Tuesday, I got kept later in class so I got there a few minutes late, it was all good I ending up blowing out my back tire about five miles from the end of the ride, might be time to replace the holey back tire I have been riding on
-
I'll be going for a hard ride today at 2:30.. sorry it's the only time i can go today. I will be at the meeting at 4, but I have a SIM at 5, so I can be there until 4:45..
-
There is a group ride going out this sunday morning at 9am from the SKI AND BIKE SHOP! They run group rides every sunday morning (I guess the coffee ride officially got taken over by the coffee riders?).
If I can get free from my cardboard prison, then I think I might go on this ride. If some of you new dewds want to gain some street cred at the shop, this is a great way to do it.
In case I don't make it, the ride leaves from BEHIND the shop.
-
I will be riding at 4:30 today, anyone interested should post up, will be intermediate pace 20-30miles. helmets required
What is that? Drop or no drop? Did sponsorship stuff get handled?
I have to fly the electronic dungeon though. So I'm out.

^nothing even remotely aviation related is free. c'mon und, its a simulator....I can fly the seminole for less than that and that actually counts for something!
-
Tell ya what. You pay me $150 an hour to watch Dave and I'll make sure nobody disturbs you. That's as low as I can go.

Beek. omglolz. Seriously though... today and wednesday are just literally sitting in front of the poster (THAT YOU CAN BUY FOR LIKE $10 AT THE BOOKSTORE) running through the checklists. Why we're paying an instructor to sit with us is beyond me. AFAI can tell... he just wasted our time tonight.

what a bad dude
-
bike polo later?
-
I have the equipment if you find people to go (hint: call Yost, Nic, etc.?). I have to work at the gym tonight (and I'm sick, to boot, so I probably shouldn't be spending hours out in the cold.
I may also have a bike finished by then that could be "ridden" during "polo" by someone.
-
Polo later?
-
can't today sorry dude
-
I also as you may have realized by now, can not.
-
im down for polo tomorrow, wed, or thursday night if anyone else wants to play
-
I don't have any equipment, but I'd be up for trying it out.
-
Nobody has any equipment, DC bought some mallets we can use though (which happen to be in my office). I could be up for something tomorrow (or can give you the stuff if I can't be).
-
Don't break my stuffs dewds. :colbert:

I had a flight.. I could probably play late afternoon or early evening!

Id like to.. But I dont have the gear mate
-
what do you mean? you have tights, a hat, (gloves?), wool socks, food, a bike, helmet, a sandy mumba jumba, what else do you need bra?
-
I was thinking more along the line of some nice warm shoe covers, and the hat I have is too big to fit under a helmet.. but I'll give it a shot, If I get too cold Ill go back haha. 3:45 Union Thompson loop, bring warm clothes.. it's gonna be cold

And where were you when I was telling you guys about those sweet deals on nashbar.com wher they had shoe covers for $15 (that's problaby less than the pizza you bought last week). And just recently I purchased for $9.99 windprofe, flece under-helmet hat! Works perfectly! I told you guys teh day like this will come...And there is going to be more of them...
-
oh mario.. well if you see any sweet deals, let me know!
-
I'm hoping to get out and cruise around a little on my way home tonight. 5 maybe? If anyone else wants to get outside, you're welcome to come along.
Also, if anyone is heading to spin classes, post up here and see if you can't get anyone to come with you. At the very least it makes us look active.
-
Beek... I might go with you. But I think I sent some of my ski stuff home after last winter. It'll depend when I get out of the lab though too so don't wait up.
-
Spinning at NHRG at 7pm, bring your bike and a trainer!!!
-
Still don't have my trainer. Joker still hasn't even sent it yet.
-
Spinning at about 7:30 at NHRG tonight!!! They have a great area there for us to train!! Post here if you need a ride there
-
Spinning tonight at 7 PM at Northern Heights Rock Gym (one of our awesome sponsors)! Bring a bike and a trainer, or you can bring a bike and use my rollers if you want this time.
Figure out rides among yourselves, I have to be there to work at 5 so I can't drive anyone.
-
If I can borrow yours, I might be able to bring my ride. Have to do a run as well.
-
I don't have a trainer, so you'll need to feel comfortable with being on rollers.
-
Well that didn't go very well did it? I'd probably get the hang of it eventually, but I think I'd rather work with a trainer and mess with getting better at balance during the season. (Found out trainer's on it's way last night.)

Sweet that your trainer is coming--yeah, the rollers take some getting used to, and might not be what you want to be on if you are on the "beat yourself up every day" training plan (unless you fall off them repeatedly).
-
... if you are on the "beat yourself up every day" training plan (unless you fall off them repeatedly).
Hmm, <strokes chin thoughtfully>
-
lol. Only real men ride rollers.

Oh I've never aspired that high.

I dont have rollers either. But I dream about them every night.
-
Anyone down for some casual greenway cycling/goofing-off on Sunday? Paths were plowed as of a few days ago. We should have a couple of inches of fresh snow after Fri-Sat... I just wanna have some fun with the winter tires and get some miles in. I'm a couple of dozen miles short of a 1000 on the year, and with some business/family trips coming up... I wanna make sure I hit that mark before the new year.
-
I am definitely up for some action like that. Count me in.
-
Ugh... I have to pack.
-
When are you leaving?
:-(
-
What time are you guys thinking for Sunday? I'll be working at the shop from 12-5 and will most likely be putting the finishing touches on a paper in the evening.
Would consider riding in the morning though, if we can end at Dakota Harvest for some breakfast and coffee before I have to get to work.
-
I might be down for a ride on sunday morning,
we are going to be spinning at NHRG at 5:30pm. I just remembered that they have the yoga short form thing on friday but I don`t know what time it is at .....hope this doesn`t interfere..
-
Graduation is the 17th. I'm expecting to leave that weekend or in accordance with the national weather. I would say Saturday is likely.
-
Morning would probably work for me. 9ish?
-
I can do morning.
-
OK, lets plan on meeting at the town square @ 9am
-
Sounds like a plan.
-
im down for the sun morning ride.
Dont wait for me though, there is a serious possibility of me not making it
-
I'm heading down to NHRG now so I can get an hour in before I have to work for Max. Anyone else is welcome to come down if they want to get started earlier than 5.
-
I'm flying out on Sunday for a conference, but I'd be down for another greenway ride this weekend on Saturday. Anyone else interested? What times?
-
I might want to go saturday, anytime works for me.
Spin today at NHRG at 5pm!
-
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
-
workout today is the accelerated training class at 4:30 today at the wellness center. you only need your body to workout today (and a student id)!
-
Tomorrow will be straight-up cold. High of -5F, north winds gusts in the mid20 mph range. I'll make a go of it around 1pm at the town square. Not sure how long I'll last, but I'll give it my best shot!
-
If the plan is to do NHRG instead of outside today, you should probably call me since I might be running around a lot today. Not sure if I can make the outdoor ride or not...
-
Spin at NHRG at 7:30 tonight, be there or be square!!
-
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been able to train with you yet this year. It has been pretty crazy. I am however ready to hit the ground running next semester after break. :)
-
its all good mills, weeks leading up to finals get crazy...have a good break and we'll be ready to go next semester!!!
:undcc:
:headbang:
-
I'm going to go out riding early sat. afternoon ~1pm? to scope out ideas the Bikecicle course. If anyone wants to get out riding and help out, the more the merrier. I'll start out at the town square then over to the east side.
-
I won't be intown yet :/
-
When do you get in town? Does Sunday work better?
-
not until late sunday, or monday.. so just count me out this weekend
-
Oky Doky... I'll still plan on being out at the town square at 1pm on Sat.
-
Was driving the second half of the trip yesterday...how was the ride?
-
Good ride. Went across to Blue Moose, up to the northern ped. bridge, down south to Lincoln Park... goofed off around there for a bit, then went down to the golf course and back home via city streets.
Greenway (before this light snow) was mostly plowed down to the pavement. A few portions were drifted over. There were only a couple places was I unable to pedal through and that was mostly because of foot traffic making the snow rough.
-
Going down to NHRG this evening to spin starting around 5:30 if anyone wants to join. I should be riding about an hour and a half working on my "speed skills."
-
Will be riding down to NHRG at about 4:30 this afternoon if anyone wants to come down with me. Post up and I can meet you at the Union.
-
see you there
-
As soon as I can be...
