I'm calling BS.
This past Saturday was supposed to be upper 50's and rain - it was 65 and sunny. Sunday was supposed to be an all day washout, with t-storms mixed in - it was in the low 60's and cloudy. I have lost all faith in weather people and their use of computers to tell me what it's going to be like. They have no idea of what it's going to be like this coming weekend. :nuts:
well the 10 day forecast shows rain for 8 of the next days (tues/wed should be partly sunny).
let's hope they are not right.

Well the weather was like a metaphor for my circumstances today. Raining in the morning, and then after the court appearance and the divorce was official the sun came out. One chapter of my life closed. Let's hope the next chapter is a lot better.
MARK IS A FREE MAN!!!! 
Congrats Mark!!
Sounds like a good sign to me......divorce finalized, and the weather suddenly changes for the better.MMcG said:

The weather report has changed...
Congratulations. I am confident that the next chapter you write will be great!MMcG said:

I'm glad you are - me - I'm worried a little - but I just need to keep plugging away each day.
No need to worry. You'll do just fineMMcG said:
MArk it can't only get better from here! you have left a Dark part of you life be hind. now it is time to move on and ride more.MMcG said:
Now if you could just figure out that shock ........
I can help in that dept....splat said:
Looks like I'll either have to run the Cane Creek in 3.75" mode or modify the shock shuttle with a dremel tool to make it work in 4.5" mode (which I'd prefer to run with the Z1 up front).splat said:
OR
Alternately I could put the Fox Float AVA back on the bike.
At least I have it in a state that is rideable for this Friday and Saturday.
Are we still going to ride at Soapstone now that Jollytime won't be able to join us?? I don't know the trails too well in there.
MMcG said:
Good Question!!!!
Well I'll bring my GPS , and we can always follow it out .
Tonyhawk may bring a guide...MMcG said:
what's the ride plan for friday, timewise?? if it's nice out, i could take a day off...
Case Mountain, Manchester, CT, 11:00. That place has about a dozen entry points, so we still need to figure that part out. Everyone is welcome back to our place after for post-ride chow (we're 30 minutes from Case Mtn though).narlus said:
Case Mountain details at BikeRag.
I think the Friday crew is:
Myself
MBC
Doug
MmcG
Tonyhawk
I think that's everyone. Splat and JT have family business to tend to.

Line St is the best place to park.I Are Baboon said:
384E to exit 3. Left at the light (at the end of the exit) then go past the golf course and look for Line St on the left (the sign was missing last time I was there, so look for a pole minus the sign). Parking lot is up a little ways on the left.

There must be someone else we could recruit as a ride leader.

Sweetness on the forecast!!!
Saturday is not looking as good. It's going to drop down to 68.MMcG said:
so are were are we meeting for the soapstone ride ? the same place as last spring off that side road ?
That works for me!splat said:
So Saturday is you, me, MBC, MMcG, tonyhawk, and Berkshire Rider?
splat said:
That's a good question Splat.
IAB what say ye?
Nope it wouldn't - I can't remember how we got to the other spot (just parked on the side of the road) either.tonyhawk said:
We usually park on Hopkins Road, which is a left off 140 (before Gulf Road). There is no lot...it's just a dirt road and we park on the shoulder. But either way works for me. We'll get lost no matter where we park.tonyhawk said:
