I'm home sick again today, so no riding for me. If I'm feeling ok, I may take the dogs for an easy hike this afternoon. Anyone got any big riding plans for the weekend?

I rode a little bit of "Suburban Avon, CT" last night on the Cheeta! Thread down below. Good night to be on the bike last night.
It's sunny and warm out. Why the hell am I at work? I should quit. No riding tonight, must eat at inlaws house. This weekend, if it's anything weather wise like today, is gonna rule.
did a Kick ass , nitght ride last night ! started out as 6 but 2 did bail after a litlte over an hour.
had some lighting issues , I burned outthe switch on my head lamp ( 28 watt Bulb ) so I pulled out my Backup/emergency light ( 5w ) and did the rest of the ride with it.
plus one of the guys had a HID so if you stayed near him you were golden.
didn't get much in the way of pictures, but here is one of JustBill on his 1st night ride.

Went for an amazing night ride last night. First experience ever, and it was the one of, if not the best rides I've had all year.
Mackie, have fun with 'cross bike tonite. They come alive in the dirt. I actually prefer it unless it's real techical.

Pretty much he does yep - Blue Bike and Blue Jeans is his motto I think. I think he rotates flannel shirts and Primal Wear jerseys underneath though.douglas said:
As Nate said, we had a kick ass night ride last night. I felt like I could have gone for another couple hours. The trails were perfect and it was warm and not raining. The area has lots of pine trees so there weren't too many leaves, which made for some sweet singlespeed conditions. If only every ride could kick that much ass 
My hardtail is making its annual winter transition into a singlespeed this weekend. The weather is likely to suck but I don't care, I'm going to ride anyway.
Sweet! How's the baby Mackie??Mackie said:

She's sweet though. 2 months old last week so she's starting to be more interactive.
My wife has not yet caught on that my "playtime" with little Sophia is actually a tightly coordinated neck muscle workout routine, so that she can support the weight of her head + a helmet early next season
