Man, I can't wait to ride this weekend. Perfect weather, we're hitting peak foliage season in CT, there are few bugs out, and I've got NO plans this weekend other than riding and drinking beer. And Monday is a holiday.



:banana:

Today couldn't be moving any slower.

I'm going to miss the following two weekends of riding on account of a business trip/vacation, so I need to fit three weekends worth of riding into this weekend.

It's raining like hell today but it's supposed to clear up tonight. I'm semi-leading / guiding a casual DH ride for a bunch of folks at a local spot on Sunday. It should be a blast. I hope I haven't bit off more than I can chew.

I am of course. Tomorrow I'm helping to build some new trails. They are supposed to be "freeride oriented and more aggressive". Then we'll ride, and um, yep, Sunday I'll ride too! :)

Tonight: yes. Grafton XC.
Saturday: maybe EARLY XC but somehow I doubt it.
Sunday: no way in hell.
Monday: YES! Jiminy Peak DH, and the big lift is open for the holiday!

What holiday is it Monday? I'm pretty sure it's not a Xerox holiday :(
Columbus Day.

And yes, I will be riding quite a bit this weekend.

Tonight - XC ride (perhaps on my SS if I can't get my shifting issues figured out before I need to leave)

Tomorrow - short XC ride or road ride and hiking with Syd to do some trail scouting

Sunday - beers & family crap

Monday - hardcore climbing XC ride (if I can get Sq-Earl to play hookey from work).

I am most certainly riding tomorrow, and then monday. Sunday is football day.

Thursday Im leaving for Pisgah to ride for 3 days. Woot!

I just went to basspro and got an LED light for my camelback in case I get lost riding alone out there. I also got a small first aid kit and a space blanket, since Ill likely be alone and it may be cold. I never get to ride in deep woods, so Im excited.

not riding this weekend. i don't think i've actually ridden since labor day weekend. need a chain for the bicycle but i don't want to spend any money since i'm really broke. i think this break from riding will be good for me, i don't know why but lately riding has just felt so stale. i've been trying to find the feeling i got when riding when i first started but to no avail currently. it also could be my lack of a bike that is really designed for the kind of riding i want to do.
