you tell me
I have to drive my sis/bro in law to hartford on the evening/night of the 28th, so being I will be down that way I figured why not ride on the 29th!?
I don't think I can go the 29th 
how about Scnip ?
Whats a scnip?splat said:
I suppose I also would need to find a place to stay on the 28th
I might be down for a ride on the 29th...

Soapstone? (Shenipsit state forest)
Ok, I'll go.
yeah that one !MtnBikerChk said:
Did I ever tell you about the first time we rode there? It was also the first time we met Mark.splat said:
He was on his Marin hardtail..... I never saw someone bounce off rocks before like that. I'd hear "I'm ok!"
(all in fun MMcG :love: - but a true story)
has a location been decided on? I suspect it will be quite a haul for me, but I'd like to see if I can make it.

Poor Mark. He got beat to hell that day.
I might be able to make this.
yea... just over 4 hours each way for me. That's a ton of driving for one day's worth of riding.I Are Baboon said:
As much as I'd love for you to join us, eight hours of driving for a 3-4 hour ride is a bit much. I'm not sure I'd do it myself, but then again, I'm a wuss like that.jacksonpt said:
29th huh? 
welcome to the eastern new england downhiller's dilemma. :mumble:jacksonpt said:

Yeah I had bruises on top of bruises after that one.
uch: uch: uch: You gotta realize that was my first time riding with experienced mountain bikers. And my first time getting a real true CT trails experience. Previously my riding consisted of rides in Albany's Pine Bush area (not rocky) and the trails in and around Storrs/Mansfield, CT again not very rocky.
The best part of that ride was actually meeting you guys and justbill and JT, I think all for the first time.
