you nut... you don't need to wheelsuck for a 36mile ride

are you going for sure? I will be more inspired to go if I have someone to ride with... cause I know I can't drag off Psimet and his gang for more than "1 yard"

At this time of year, I'm definitely a "watch the weather" kind of guy. But if it's no rain, and above 45 or so, I plan on going. Just keep an eye on the weather, and on these posts. I think there's definitely a better chance of good turnout if the weather is decent. Having said that, I think I rode this last year or the year before, and the weather was less than great. But at least it was outside.

I'm going to pass. Going to keep it local... have an early morning bike start tomorrow with some friends, and then off to my horse riding lesson and fun at the barn.

Have a great ride you guys!!!

decent ride on sunday. i bundled up for the start of the ride and since i live right near wauconda, i rode to the start. unfortunately i had nowhere to shed layers, so after the 20 mile loop, i decided to just go home instead.

JT1 and ColorChange, it was good to see you guys. Hopefully you two had good rides.

Here's my ride data, fwiw: https://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/7856701
