so I basically cancelled the ride for tonight. It was Misting and 36 degrees out, just looked Yucky.

But 3 people showed up , BadDNA, Berkshire_rider and Quo_fan. so I quickly got reayd and we rode ! actually turned to be a good night to ride.

what isa ride with out , Berkshire_rider haveing his bike upside down at least once.

it actually turned out to be a lot better than we expected . here we make a stop to peal off a layer . you can see some of the steam coming off of us

This is my I will never learn Photo, tried riding over the ice , only to go through the ice. got off teh bike carefully , but it stayed uprights.

Is taht white lightening on your jacket or are you really really happy to see me.

riding across a partially frozen swamp.

Hitting the horse jump

Dude, Nice pics!!! Always good when you think a ride is going to be terrible, and it turns into a Blast... Ride on man

Sick! You ever try and do those pics where you keep the shutter open for 10 seconds or so to show the path of the lights? That would look real cool over the jump, and down twisty singletrack.

cool.. its about time you got out and rode a little

i hit my local trails yesterday afternoon and was a bit disappointed due to all the mud.. (we walked the really bad parts) agfter 10 minutes of getting dirty it didnt matter any more and we just enjoyed the ride

Steve - your bashguard looks huge compared to the size of your middle ring.

if you want anything other than the squiggle of the lights through the frame you need a flash that is front shudder or back shudder loaded... in otherwords Splat could get some cool shots with his digital slr and a good flash but not with his normal point and shoot. and as he said before he usually doesn't take it with him, he usually takes his point & shoot!

I knew it! Splat is an alien waiting for the mothership!

That's because it is. It was the only one Bikeman had in stock the day I was there that was black. Just haven't gotten around to buying a smaller one yet.

Hey, at least there weren't any broken chains or powerlinks last night. Don't forget to tell Greg he has to buy beers next time for stiffing us on the ride.

I think it is actually gusseting or more beefiness on those stays that shows up looking like a crack in the photo.
