How is everybody today?

I had an f'ing great ride last night. I see now how riding with people who are better than you pushes you and helps you to be a better rider.

I had a first last night, I had my first over the bars ride. I was riding thru a fairly smooth part of the the trail when I guess my front tire picked up a LOG and managed to not only get it to span across the fork but also managed to pick up my front brake cable in it's rotation, well some how it simotaniously (sp?) ripped my front brake cable off the caliper and stopped my front tire dead in it's tracks...... so over I went! Luckly it was a nice soft trail so my shoulder doesn't hurt to bad today. :)

Anyway I'm looking forward to heading out this weekend a couple times and I hope you all have a great day and a great weekened!!!!

Dinner and/or a movie. We were going to do a road ride, but I'd rather just kick back and relax on our anniversary. :)

BTW, Dalton Doug is coming over tomorrow for Saturday MTB and Sunday MS Tour. :thumb:

eh, I wouldn't worry about it. None of us are going to know the trails, so that will help to level the playing field a bit. Echo will be fast... but he's pretty cool - he won't mind waiting for you, er, us.

Morning Monkeys - I'm trying to draw up some last minute pledges of support from my co-workers today for the MS Bike Tour. Weird - nobody from my immediate group of co-workers has made a pledge. Maybe they don't like me. :think:

it's tight but useable.

Hey man thanks a lot for fixing the hose last night. Hey my front brake is making a horrible screeching noise when I brake. You think the pads may have gotten brake fluid on them?

I dont think they did,what you want to do is losen up the bolts that hold the calliper to the addapter spin the wheel hit the brake and tighten the bolts up while you are still holding the brake on this should line up the calliper to the rotor.if it still makes the noise let me know and i will file your pads and clean your rotor.it looked ok last night but you might have had a drip or two get on it,its nothing to worry about we'll get it .

What's up with that??

I am not drumming up as many pledges as I had hoped. I am going to fall way short of my $350 goal. Looks like I'll be closer to $150.

I wasn't to worried about it, I figured worse case I would have to replace the pads.

I wanted to look at the pads anyway because I know I chewed thru a lot of them at MTN Creek.

Man it was f'ing loud though when I tooled around at my apt after I got back.

I'm gonna take it out on the road tonight for about 10min down some hills and see if I can't wear thru it.

FARK!!! I knew I should have gone!! :mumble: :D

Goodmorning! Did nothing last night.

Tonight I'm riding with Goddy43. Taking him on a tour of the trails around my house. Should be a good 15 miles or so.

Tomorrow morning I'm running a 5k. I haven't run at all so far this year, so it'll be interesteing to see how my endurance base is just from doing a lot of biking. I placed second in my class last time I ran this race so I have some motivation to do well. After that the wife and I are taking our daughter to one of her friends b-day party. Should be a hoot!

Sunday I'm racing at Plattekill. Busy weekend for me! :)

Morning all! For some reason our system is really slow and my posts keep timing out and never appear :confused: At any rate, had an ok ride last night with douglas and the Mosley crew, followed by pizza, drinks and some tatoo viewings :devil:

Today is a long day at school for me so I will probably hit the trainer and spin for a little while when I get home.

Had a good night of trail building last night in the rain. Had a shiddy morning riding the train as Im still recovering a bit from a little crash on Sunday so I'm not pedalling in...plus it's friggin raining these last couple o days. :mumble: I guess we need it pretty bad, though. I hate the train. I was borderline mowing people down with the AK that I dont have
