heels on wheels

For anyone riding SS who hasn't been to Nockamixon yet - it really rocks. :thumbsup: Out there for the first time with mine today and had a lot of superfast fun (even in this afternoon's heat). Check it out.

I have a female friend that is interested in learning to ride.....I clearly won't be providing any instruction since I still suck.

Anyway, she is around 5'4".....so maybe a small to medium would be ok. I am thinking hardtail, but if there is a modestly priced fs is out there, that might work too.

She doesn't have tons of cash to drop on a bike, so I figured I would see if anything used and in decent shape was available.

Let me know.

This could be a great day!....riding, music and camping all near the Nockamixon trailhead.
Tower Farm is having the first of several music fests next Saturday the 11th.
Admission is $25 at the gate, location is just a few pedal strokes from the Nox trailhead at Tower and Fink Rd.
Music starts at noon and continues into the wee hours.

I'm definitely there for the music. I'll camp out if there is enough interest in a VMB party! :beer:

These aren't the most flattering picture angles, but in my earlier thread on the iBert Safe-T-Seat, I mentioned that the LHT was getting an albatross bar conversion, and take over child portaging duties.

We've had this setup for about two weeks now, I just forgot how to post pictures, but it's proving to be a very fun around town ride. It's seen it's fair share of longer gravel road exploration and nature paths, too. Very comfy!

I wasn't using the drop part of the drop bars that were on the bike earlier, so no big loss.

I happen to be off tomorrow and was wondering if there was anyone else off, willing to be a tour guide for a monday morning ride at Nox?

I will be in Vegas for a seminar soon and hope to get in a ride or two, but have no idea where to go. A few things - I can't deal with shear drops/cliffs, don't think I'll have a car - so a place that offers shuttle service would be good, and I might only have time to go once the seminar ends (after 5pm) so it needs to be close enough to get there and get in a decent ride before dark. Any recommendations?

I find myself having a Sunday coming up where my family is out of town, and I can take a whole period of up to like 12 hours for driving time and riding somewhere I normally don't go, as I normally need to go to somewhere that I can be there and home within 4 hours or so.

My normal choice for this situation is Raystown, but I've never been to Allamuchy, or Blue Marsh, and so I am considering them. Does anyone have any input?
