Did the Mountain Momma Century Saturday. It was freaking brutal. I hung with the lead pack for the first 70 miles and even managed to set the pace up front for at least 10 miles of it when I had to stop and eat as everyone else sped away. I finished the ride with my friend Bob the Ringer. Rumour had the elevation gain at over 12,000 feet. Here is the rough map.

Dang that is brutal.



Good morning everyone.

Went for a ride Sunday but the trails were near a mountain and a mess from som flash floodish activity. after a mile and a half we changed plans and trails. On the road sprint back to the house we hit 29 mph on 2.1" tires and passed a roadie. Man the roadies who don't mountain bike get p***ed when they get passed by a 5" trail bike. They feel free to creep up behind you and startle you the hell out of you when you're on the road, but pass them...


P.S. I'm a part time roadie.

Well.....he's black with a white chest, so he's pretty much got the whole tuxedo look going for him already.

Sounds good to me!!!

that is the 16th & 18th , just so everybody understands ! ( IAB! )
I can do the 18th, but an earlier start would be better for me. It's about a 2.5 hour drive each way for me.

No problem Stosh - just a long way for a lot of us to drive for a ride that may only last about an hour and a half due to darkness.

Unless we all bring lights.

Can you ride after dark at Stewart?

I'm sure it works for us as well. Just need the final confirmation from the boss.
We should prob. shoot more for 6. I'll try to sneak out of work a few minutes early, but this is a busy week, so there are no guarentees. I'm not sure how long it takes to get to Stewart from my new place.

We'll be in touch, though. Can't wait to ride! :)

Stosh, are you going to Treesaw's party?

exactly , that is why I'm riding with Stosh , since I will be in his neck of the woods.


Could you make the trip up to me for an evening of riding? we could ride the Gibbs Farm loop by my house and then head to albany & do a night ride at the Pine Bush

So today has just become interesting. I found out the guy I have been working under for a few weeks is on vacation, and that means that I have very little, if any work to do. I got perhaps 6 hours total sleep over the weekend, and someone decided they wanted the lights out in my section, and I am not going to fight it. I'm hungry and already ate my lunch. Now I am bored.
