nada.
No ride tonight, gym instead. Worked legs last night.
Rest day last night, TNUA tonight 
Hola'! Nothing on tap for today. Going for a ride tomorrow @ Pittstown State Forst with bershire_rider and another guy. Getting an early start and should be out for 3 hours+. The club (SMBA) has a spooky night ride/bonfire/BBQ scheduled for Saturday so I've got that to look forward to as well! Should be a good week!

I got my Cheeta back up in running - but now it has a Z1 FR up front instead of a dual crown fork and it now features some Truvativ Hussefelts I got real cheap instead of the beat to hell RF PRodigy DH cranks that were previously on there. Took off the old cranks and installed the Hussefelts with the guidance of a fellow NEMBA rider - it was cool to do it myself! I want to take a Park Tools class or something sometime. Rode urban (well Avon's version of it anyway) for about an hour - fun fun!! BUt I came home witha pinch flat. Makes me wonder about running Stans or Tubeless all over again.
I think I'm going to like the Cheeta in it's new Trail/FR configuration!!!

I dropped my van off at the dealership yesterday after work and rode back home, but that's it. No riding today, family entanglements.
IRB, get outta the gym and back on the bike, wuss!

this looks fun:
909 race (this saturday)
This is a one lap time trial, ALL IN THE DARK OF NIGHT. Everyone will start 1 minute apart. Headlight(s) required. Backup battery and/or bulb a good idea. Try something new; bring your brightest beams and do a single lap race in the dark. Course includes awesome singletrack, with the famous rock drops, bridges, anthills etc. Course length about 9 miles tops, some will finish in less than an hour, some may require more time, so perhaps a backup battery is good insurance. Results will be broken down after event finish(Beginner/Sport/Expert/Etc. in the typical age categories).

Bike riding is once again a weekend activity until next Spring. (no lights) Working out is a great Monday through Friday activity.johnbryanpeters said:IRB, get outta the gym and back on the bike, wuss!

- I was invited to another halloween party that night so its doubtful I'll be doing the race
I bet 75% of the field will be in costume
what about yr snowblower?I Are Baboon said:HA! My mower cost less than a decent set of bike lights will cost!
send that back, cancel yr gym membership, and buy a shovel and set of a HID lights.

TNUA ride for this old guy
Early. Meeting bershire_rider near his house at 8:15am.douglas said:
Yep. Early morning. Davis has to be home by 2:00pm, I believe.
You won't reget it. Run Stan's, and you can use your current wheelset.
Your missing out. Night riding is great. There's lots of <$100 helmet mounts out there that will allow 2 hours of burn time. HID's are definitely better lights, but not a requirement to night ride.
