rare opportunity

[t.roy]

I have a rare opportunity to ride on a weekday (wait, the opportunity to ride anytime is rare for me), as in tuesday the 14th. Wife1 is picking up Kids 1 & 2 from daycare, and if the weather holds out, I'm considering (strongly) leaving work noon-ish to ride (very casual) Schaeffer, Seneca Greenway, or Little Bennett (unless I missed the 14th as a park closed for hunters day).

Hopefully it won't rain too much on Sunday.

Anyone care to join me?

I'm totally with this idea. Count me in.

[t.roy]

cool. hopefully we'll get lucky and stuff'll dry out by then.

[Brizn]

If trails in MoCo aren't fit, think you might be willing to venture up this way?

no other takers??

[t.roy]

yep

I just got an error telling me my message is too short, is that normal?

[t.roy]

In case any interested peeps had better things to do this weekend than power on a computer, Brizn & I plan a 2 hour-ish gambrill ride tomorrow afternoon, around 1pm. let us know if you have interest.

yo man- this was a great ride. I'm stoked that you got your first Gambrillificationization on-- and you rode it propa-like for someone who, to date, had only ridden dirt trails! Ups. I think I counted 3 bails.. the last of which was.. just... oh yea, SPECTACULAR. And propa-like to that Bucket for sparing you a lifetime of drooling all over yourself!

Let's ride again.
Happy tiiiiimes.

agreed, great ride. Great meeting you. much thanks for the guide and the kind words o' encouragement. I think it was 4 bails, there was "my rock", the "took the wrong foot off the pedal" rock climb, the "tap dancin' log hop" lesson (that's really gonna leave a mark!!), and my Trek lid's perfect 10 landing on the "spectacular" crash. I did better than I thought I would, especially given some of the words in the forum about gambrill. Word to noobs who haven't done gambrill, do it. Its funnerNallGITout! I consider myself a beginner (although I just decided to promote myself from beginner to beginner2 :D ) and I think I did ok, even with my feeble climbing skills. It's definitely a challenge, but well worth the effort.

As for droolin' on myself, I already do that.

will definitely ride again.

[1]...especially given some of the words in the forum about gambrill. ... [2] I consider myself a beginner (although I just decided to promote myself from beginner to beginner2 :D ) and [3] I think I did ok, 1. Yea, some people get off on describing trails. I just like to ride 'em. 2. I wouldn't consider you a beginner. Typically, G-ride isn't very beginner-friendly. You (practically) cleaned the first hill out of the lot..and if you would've been able to actually see the trail you would've cleaned that first super-tech dh section-- a dh that beginners probably puke at the site of. and 3. see #2.

To quote Saxman (who is by no means a beginner) on his first G-ride:
"Toto, we're not at Schaeffer anymore".
