Doesn't fit in the other forums, post it here
Perhaps some would question the worth in riding 4 hours in the driving rain when it is below 50 degrees and there is a heavy amount of grit on the road. Why bother getting the bike wet and nasty, ruining the drivetrain, seat, brake pads and clothing?
Why not? Why not make it merry with five riders of similar ilk and one whom continues to baffle all with unique fashion sense?
Sweet Rain!!! This snow is getting gonnnnnnnneeeee!!!!!!!
Many of you know Downingtown Ted, or at least know of the jumps in his backyard. Ted was all excited to be signed up the this weeks Point Shark Century, but he might be sitting on the bench. Here is his story from today (yes, this is a true story).
....Conditions ....pretty much sums the weekend up right now, Friday night spinning around the block on the new ride (xam! were cookin like freakin emeril) inthe snow - sucking wind pretty quick though! Saturday fresh 6-8" superlight poe at greek peak NY made for fresh tracks all over the mountiain in the morning - made the super sucky super early morning drive worth while - gotta love the grooming / lack of up there!
Tuesday last: sunny, warm (relatively), dry roads (sort of) and a whole day with nothing to do but pedal (for most of us). Four riders, three sectors to the ride, two major climbs and one pissing and moaning Bud.
never been to moab?? watch the weather channel in 10 minutes. 9pm
Its rock solid down here, i might go for a ride at green lane or somthing once i dig out, Whats it like in the Valley?
Looks like we're not done paying for riding around in shorts in January... just when things are clearing the weather sends us another dose... brutal.
Trails were sweet! should help me get through this transitional period.
Just Kidding.
I'm working on a letter which will update everyone on the progress at Salisbury and I'm looking for images from Salisbury to incorporate.
Trail work -- rock work in particular, riding, anything you think might be interesting.
I'll grab what I can that's already posted here on the site.
Send me a personal message here on the site and I'll send you my email address. (I'm guessing it's not the best idea to post it here.)
Thanks very much!
