Sounds like some sweet riding stosh be sure to post some pictures!!!! 
Good morning all. I already feel like I've rejoined 'the system' by having a routine EVERY DAY
although it is just school... Anyways, yesterday or the day before or something (GMT hasn't been up before I leave lately) I ORDERED MY NEW 2005 INTENSE M3!!!!! :evil: 
Sooooo stoked to get it. Should be in Monday. Um, school's actually not too bad, I'm actually allowed to go off for lunch this year, just gotta watch what I eat so I don't eat a bunch of crap everyday seeing as how school cuts down riding time a lot. The classes are all fairly interesting so far and are definitely going to be challenging so that's cool. Well, that's all 
Have a good weekend everybody. Hopefully I can get some riding in on the roadie or go DJing...

did a group road ride last night, the A group was cooking, I was dropped about 5 times but fought back (with the help of stop signs).......it was tough but fun.
33.5 miles / 20.3 mph avg ..........plus 7 miles commuting to/from start point
my legs felt pretty toasted last night
no big plans for the w/e..........maybe the track (saratoga) sunday
I also was thinking of taking a cruise (20 or so miles) on the road bike to Lebanon valley speedway to watch the drag races, maybe bring the camera and get some redneck pics for DHG

good ride home, played around w/ boys outside when i got home, did a bit of music management work. can't wait for the weekend.
This week seemed to go by fast. I suppose that happens when work is busy as hell.
Busy weekend on tap: Picnic tomorrow at one of MBC's friend's. Not sure what our evening plans might be. Sunday we'll take our pup to the ballfield with a bunch of other greyhounds and let them run wild. We're hoping to ride after that.

Today I am hittin up a BBQ with some of my buddies. Then the weekend is going to be straight up trailbuilding with some other people from the ROC.
Nice man make sure you post pics of the new bike!!COmtbiker12 said:Sounds like some sweet riding stosh be sure to post some pictures!!!!

Morning monkeys.
Renegades were amusing last night. Beat the SI Yankees (Yankees of any kind suck, BTW) one of the two games. The most amusing parts of the game were the stroller races, the Smithwick's in a plastic cup with a snap on lid, and the poor bastard who got a foul ball in the windshield of their nice Chevy Tahoe.
The weekend...hrm. I think we're staying in tonight and relaxing, and then tomorrow we may head for Stewart for a ride. We may also hit Overlook and research a few things. Who knows.

Mornin' all. I'm on call for the next week, so weekend is kinda fooked. Going out with the wife and a few friends for din tonight, gonna go to the zoo manana.
Hopefully will be able to get 4 days riding to work next week. Weather's been perfect for commuting as of late.
Well, except for that downpour on Tuesday afternoon. :mumble:

I am greatly enjoying my week off as you can see from my lack of posting. Monday and Tuesday I spent down on Cape Cod caddying for one of my friends who played in the Massachusetts Public Links. I got lobster and steamers outta it, so I can't complain. Wednesday I went out and golfed with my dad. That was nice, except I wanted to push one of the guy we were paired with in a marsh. Wouldn't shut up. Yesterday it was the bike path that runs from Ayer to Nashua. Pretty nice path if you ask me, slightly over 24 miles round trip. And today its off to the beach!
Tomorrow is my last day here, then its back off to college on Sunday.

overlook bike shop in woodstock??
want some training? bike up overlook mountain.....want to make it tougher, start in town and ride the road up to the trail head.
Bingo, Overlook MTB in Woodstock.douglas said:
Not familiar with the Overlook mountain trail. Perhaps we should check it out.
Yea, it rides pretty well except I need to take the DH tires off. That and the fact that the rust-o-leum clearcoat is the biggest hunk of junk ever. Second you clamp something down on it with any bit of pressure it goes away. So I have a few places on the frame where there is no clearcoat due to the bike rack.robdamanii said:
Had to include my dad as well. I will be getting out and riding some dirt tomorrow hopefully if my older brother doesn't cancel on me, which with his past is more likely to happen than not.SkaredShtles said:
We're going to try anyway.stosh said:I can't believe you're going to Stewart without me.
That Beth sure is a trooper!!
She's doing pretty well actually. Just need to take it a little bit easier than usual.
Hi there!
***Yawn***
Been at work since 5:00 this morning, so it feels like it should already be lunchtime, but it's nowhere near it. Today is just draggin' big-time!! 'Supposed to be heading up to the mountains for the weekend after work, but I might need a nap before that happens. It's only a two-hour drive, so we can leave pretty much anytime. Plan on doing a little hiking and a lot of laying around doing NOTHING!! :heart:
Yesterday afternoon went by sooooo fast, man. Got my hair cut after work and had planned on doing some flyfishing before dark at my parents house, but before I knew it, darkness started taking hold fast. I have no idea what I was doing that wasted that much time......but apparently it just slipped by without me noticing. Don'tcha hate it when that happens?

It's part of the Catskills I think and it's STEEP!robdamanii said:
how's your cardio? 1400ft gain in 2.5 miles on a dirt road, no break, just up, up, up.....most people hike it, up top is an old hotel and a firetower, going down is fast, as fast as you want to go w/o killing your self or the hikersrobdamanii said:
even if you dont ride it, being you will be so close you should drive to the trailhead so you can check out the temple across the street

Well, I'll see how I feel. Might be an easy ride because my ribs are still very unhappy. The elbow's feeling somewhat better, though it looks pretty nasty.stosh said:I can't believe you're going to Stewart without me.

Yes, I have been up there actually. My car didn't even enjoy driving to the trailhead! The temple's pretty cool though.douglas said:
Rob, that's the mountain we started to climb when we were testing the road bikes. That's the easy part, however.
This is a huge weekend out on MV. Yesterday the wife, myself and some friends hit up the Ag. Fair and had our yearly allotment of greasy fair food. Tonight is the big fireworks display up in OB. So we'll be out on the beach with the grill and coolers full of ice cold beer. It should be a great time.
Of course I'll be out on the trails and fire roads saturday morning.

A big shoutout to Rob for the Yankee bashing!
Oh jesus. I think maybe we'll pass on that one and go for some nice twisty single track.bluebug32 said:
Yeah, I need to work on staying on two wheels while lounging on those nice straights.stosh said:
Not much going on this weekend (finally!). Tonight we're heading to we're headed to the magazine's best winner for best beer list to drink up and take some pictures. Then, as Rob mentioned, we'll check out some end of the season sales at the LBS. I would really like to pick up a road bike so I can build up my endurance over the fall and winter.
Morning all. Spent yesterday walking around the local amusement park with my sisters and brother. It was SO beautiful, I couldn't bear to be indoors. Today I need to pack up our stuff as we're headed out to the Rochestar area for a friend's 30th birthday party and to celebrate my birthday with the family. I am hoping to ride this weekend too, but not sure what the plans are just yet. Other than that, I have to put an order together for school this morning and do some paperwork 
Oh, and I am trying to convince the husband to go to a Yo-Yo-Ma and the Philly Symphony concert tonight and then ride (as I will be driving) out to his folks afterward. I even told him we could ride afterwork, grab a quick shower and he can choose dinner...fingers crossed....we'll see what he decides.

Nice musical selection. Haydn and Strauss are going to be very good, judging by what we heard the night before the DP.
Stosh: That was actually bantered around as well. They're open until 6?
I generally go to see them a few times over the summer as I know one of the cello players (and his wife used to play piano as well)...they rarely disappoint!robdamanii said:
Nice. Beth wants to check out Specialized roadies, so it may be beneficial to go down and spend some time there.stosh said:
stosh said:You should go to Darkhorse on Saturday.
Ooh, good idea. Any sales going on? What brands of road bikes do they carry?
