Woah! got back a from some train riding down by the river a little while ago. The trails are AMAZING right now. All the way overgrown stuff is gone, no mud, a bit of snow and ice, tons of deer, I found an abandoned farmhouse that is really cool, I didn't get shot by any hunters... It was just a really awesome ride. you guys should all go check those trails out before it gets REALLY cold.

awesome, sounds like it was a good ride (although a bit on the aggressive side). I'm glad to hear that so many new people made it out. Wish I could have been there, but I was working at the bike shop all night. Maybe next week!

Today's No Drop ride left almost on time, led by the worst possible leader ever, yours truly, because nobody else managed to show up (although some suspiciously slothlike person did yell some obscenities out the window of his car on the way home).  I was joined by Anna, Nordica, Andy and Dave, who proceeded to try and wear me out on what was supposed to be an easy day before I end up wrecking my body again this weekend at Maplelag.

The wind was a little problematic traveling west, but the rest of the ride was smooth.  There are some new folks itching to test themselves against the old guard of UND Cycling Club, and it shows.

Remember, all No Drop rides are just that--we don't leave anyone behind just because they want to ride at a more relaxed pace.

As of a couple days ago, someone had recently filled in the cracks in the the south section of Merrifield loop.  So now there are big bumps instead of big dips in the road where the cracks are.

Sunday night's Turtle River mountain bike extravaganza turned out to be fast and tight, with just the right amount of fixie action thrown in for the fun of it.  Attendance was rather low (but good), probably attributable to the fact that I showed up for the first time and people were afraid to test themselves against my skills of the mad variety.  Aside from the decided lack of breeze during the refreshment period, a good time was had by all.

A big shout out to all my GF allies in cycling mayhem, WORD UP.

Just got back from the second wednesday night ride. To all of those who did not show up (which was most of you) you missed out even bigger than the last time you didn't show up, as good times and good riding and good beers were had by all who did show up (only two of us this time). From the shop myself and mark proceeded to dave sears' place, where we found no intelligent forms of life (although dave might have just been sleeping). The chaos then moved north to the EGF golf course by the north walking bridge which we proceeded to bomb around on (with no interference from law enforcement). Riding of four wheeler trails in EGF then commenced (all the parts that we didn't ride two weeks ago were covered), and then across the minnesota bridge enroute to the hub where frothy liquid was consumed. Don't know what the rest of you were doing? Maybe watching Le Tour on TV while those with true grit were out getting their ride on.

Our first Wednesday night ride was a success! Vagrants in attendance were Toaster (myself), The Godfather, Sloth, and a fellow shop rat known only as Josh. Everybody else, you missed out BIG TIME! The ride departed SBS not very promptly sometime after 9pm. From there we ventured down to the river where we hopped on the 4-wheeler trail on the EGF side for a little off roading. Things got interesting with two people on fully geared MTB's and the other two on fixed gear track blasters. From the Minnesota bridge, the ride turned a bit calmer and mostly followed the bike path up to the north walking bridge, and then back down to the Hub. Once we arrived, large burgers and oversized brews served in frosty mugs were enjoyed by all. Having thoroughly exorcised numerous demons, riders departed contently to resume their normal(?) lives. No scars this time, we can only hope that future Wed. night rides will bear more fruit.

5/2 (reading and review day) turtle river--
singletrack all dry and fast... they removed some of the logs that were pretty fun to go over last year :(
wider trails had a couple of wet spots, nothing too bad though
stairs are all dry and fun as usual!

4/13 - The official "Minnesota Loop". Is looking about as good as last year.

Everything was clear. The road heading back into EGFK was as usual... crappy. potholes etc etc.

The dogs were out in full force on the east west leg.

Otherwise... ~46 miles of enjoyment.
