    New Rider South Bay

    Went on a late ride today down at Harvey Bear. Found out it gets dark pretty quickly after 7:30 and helmet tickets are expensive along with getting locked into the park. THANKFULLY I didn't actually get these tickets most likely because I talked with the ranger about rules and regs, work...

    New Rider South Bay

    Took a shot at the Harvey Bear trail in San Martin last week and couldn't get to the top. Didn't realize I was this out of shape. Kept losing traction and as soon as I hit a hill I'd pretty much have to start walking up it. Funny part was watching me try to find trails, I didn't know it was...

    best trails within an hour from the bay

    I'm trying to figure out how I can get from Morgan Hill to Los Gatos right now. Have to find out where these trail heads are. I know Coe is right up the road from me and Harvey Bear is down the road from me.

    best trails within an hour from the bay

    What about the trails near Morgan Hill/San Martin. I know COE is massive and hopefully has maps so I don't get lost. Harvey Bear isn't too large to get lost and never find your way back. Anything around San Jose Campbell Saratoga trail that could be fun.....thought there was a place further...

    Just moved back to the bay

    How about a thursday ride? I'm usually off work around 630. Nothing too difficult for that time. I still have to drive home a half hour so I'd prefer not to die. Maybe something that takes an hour or so....remember I'm new to this stuff.

    ok thanks. I might switch over to an 9 or 8 speed in the future. I'll look into benefits and disadvantages of each setup and decide what I want.

    9 speed on a 7 or 8 speed

    do i would be fine if I go a 9 speed derailleur? yes it is a 7 speed shifter I have and I'm trying to find out if I can use a 9 speed derailleur. I have an oppertunity to get a good derailleur that is 9 speed but i only have a 7 speed so I'm wondering about compatability issues.
