AccidentalChef Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Anyone feel l ike riding next Saturday or Sunday? I've been putting in quite a few miles on the bike, so I think I might actually be able to keep up now. Anybody have an idea for a trail that's maybe a bit mellower than apex? Alternating between up and down more frequently and less carrying the bike through rock gardens would be fun. Oh yeah, and I picked up a camelback and some water bottles, so no need to worry about me dying of dehydration this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I will have a couple folks up in my area (aldefer three sisters) for a ride. I don't know when yet but I will keep you posted. ATS is much easier than Apex while still being fun. Even if you don't ride with us you should check it out sometime. Hydrate or die By the way, how did that Abstract Algebra final go?

AccidentalChef Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Survived Abstract Algebra, but only just barely. I'm now carrying over a gallon of water with me when I ride, so I think I've got the hydration thing under control. Let's say I learned my lesson from Apex. ATS looks pretty cool. Definitely let me know when you're going to ride it. I need to get some more practice on my mountain biking skills, but I'm getting pretty comfortable on a bike again. I probably put in 120 miles last week, and was 40 miles into a 50 mile ride yesterday when I double flatted (Another lesson learned: Carry 2 tubes and a patch kit).

inkaholic Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 AC, Earlier or late works best with the high temps we have been having lately. It doesn't look like my friends are riding so it may be very small but informative. Let me know when you are available. Big Mario, what are you up to this weekend?

AccidentalChef Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Any time you want to ride will probably work for me, just let me know. I'm used to getting up early these days... if I'm not out the door early, any kind of decent ride gets miserable fast. Maybe I should have learned the whole "sleep early or be miserable in the morning" thing during the winter. Anyway, let me know what works for a ride.

big mario Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hittin' Frasier on Sat with the lovely Phyllis, Sunday I am open, Farmer and Sean are interested, I will drop them a line and see what they think about riding out your back yard, I think we should shoot for really stupid early, it is going to be misirable hot on sunday. LOTB was disgustingly hot last night, though I did pull off a few trials moves that impressed the masses. I will bring a few frosties for post ride. Steve, glad to see you are gaining wisdom finally, and going to bed earlyish like the old guys you are hanging with. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Lets do an early sunday AM ride to attempt to beat the heat. Mario, talk sean and farmer into it. Let me know what time you all want to meet and it doesn't have to be three sisters if folks want to go somewhere else. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the Wichita trip scheduled for Aug/Sept was canceled. Sadly, it was the only trip I was looking forward to. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccidentalChef Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 See you a little before 8 Sunday am. 8:00 Mario? Isn't 8:00 for you about the same as noon for me? :p See you guys there. Can't wait to find out if the time I've spent on the bike is enough to keep me from looking like quite as much of an idiot as last time.
