damn, its 6:45 and i'm just reading this... bummer

Are you in / around Baltimore/DC for the summer or something? (I see from your "location" you are from WA?) I try to get out and ride at Patapsco every Wednesday around 6:30. Sometimes I meet up with people sometimes I go solo. Sometimes I ride the jump trails sometimes I do a trail ride. It's always good to have people to ride with though.

Here's a couple of pictures from last night, nothing special:

Will do. See if you can get your busted knee friend up there too so I can buy his wheels.

A few friends and I usually meet up around 5 at the park and ride near UMBC on Wednesdays. If you are ever out there early, you should come by. I've got a toyota solara and a steel grey cannondale F400 (yeah it's not just a clever screenname).

Okay here's the deal. We shall ride at 6 PM this Wednesday night, 7-26-06. Meet at the Landing Road pull off or just head to the jumps. See you all there. Sounds like we'll actually have a decent sized crew. WSU or anybody else for that matter, if you need directions PM me or RPK.


Dave.

I'm possibly in for the ride if I'm not too tired from Tuesday's ride at Loch Raven.

EDIT: WSU, clean out your PM's!! I was going to send you my phone number in case you were interested in doing some XC cruising Tuesday night @6pm with us.

Whos all coming tonight?

Me (obviously, since it's my thread) and another guy named Brian I met over on the MORE board. I'll be there by 6 or maybe even earlier. I'm taking a half day off from work.

Good ride last night. Four monkeys (rpk1988, pi31412, bballboy, and myself) and some guy that cusses like a sailor were out there for about 2 hrs just riding around in circles having a good ol' time.

I guess we'll try again next week and maybe do a trail ride instead of sessioning L&C. I'll keep you posted.

Hey Dave... Sorry I missed out last night. I'll definitely be there next week, barring any injury or illness. :looney:

So, the weather report says temps to be in the 90s-100s all week. I rode 2 hours of XC in this heat on Saturday, and I still feel like someone took a wirebrush to my lungs.

So I'm gonna skip Patapsco this week unless it cools down a bit.

Oh pshaw. It ain't that hot. Anyways, I'm on the sweat-my-balls-off weight loss plan. I reckon I'll be there regardless. If you see any sweaty balls rolling around Patapsco they're probably mine.

Okay, forget it. I won't be there tonight. I changed my mind. Too damn hot. I'm going on a short road ride instead. I won't be there next Wednesday either. I'll be on a plane coming home from a bidness meeting in Dayton OH. Oh joy. Maybe next Thursday instead?

Oh, no... Please tell me you're not a closet roadie! :eek:

Ha, Ha, No. My 'roadie' is my wife's xc bike. Actually I have my wife's xc bike stripped down to the frame to rebuild so tonight's road ride will be on my hardtail. Torture, Ouch. It should be a short ride.

Damn it. I washed out on the first jump of the night trying to avoid a pungi stick-like tree staub. My knee pad shifted somehow and whacked my knee on the ground. It instantly swelled up to the size of a softball so I decided I'd better get home and ice up. I was out there for a total of 15 minutes.

Thankfully the swelling has already gone down so I don't think I'll be out too long. Maybe a week.

Bullitrider13, I'll PM you.

Someone has recently done some nice work out there; fixing up the faces of most of the jumps and also some of the berms. Get out there and ride this stuff before it gets bulldozed!

Since when is the DNR gonna bulldoze it ?

Just a rumor that has been floating around for about a year now. Depending on who you believe, they were set to be demolished a few months ago but MORE stepped in and asked them to wait.

They are illegally built on state park land so I guess technically they could go at any time they see fit.
