PS. Moving and then immediately getting a cold is a double-dose of pwnage. I feel like beyond ass.

i believe we meet up at 8:30 and then head out at 8:45 to get to sprints at 9 ... if there is sprints on wednesday (maybe not, it might rain) i'm sure there will be a post on DSR about meet up times

the grange meetup is usually small and on the southside of the park, like just north of urbane

I know this is a bit of a schedule conflict with D.S.R. Dirt...but....I will be heading up to Albion Hills every Tuesday for the weekly Mountain Bike Race Series. If anyone feels like a little something different on a Tuesday let me know. Part of my work duties don't cha know. Taking up 2 sweet demo bikes for folks to try (X-Prezzo Sub-5 and Specialized FSR Expert) riding the trails and B.B.Q. afterwards. The bus leaves at 4:15.
"Summer of Keith"

Ouch, Jet's colagno popped up in the jackass thread.

bah screw the jackass thread, its all washed up anyway.

until the new BB and derailleur are purchased there will be no dirt for me =(.

however im hitting the trail to north york vewwy soon to go see my doc. theres nothing like a long pretty bike ride with a purpose.

I'll come (edit: pun not intended) if Nelson sends that nice turquoise Yeti 575 with you.

Jet! you're a trend setter!

I wish I could take the "long way to work" and have scenery like this.

Reminds me of riding through the countryside back home, too. Very nice. When I go back this year I think I'll take my bike and buy a new camera, it's been a long time since I've ridden over there.

I still dont understand why its even in that thread.

One word. Hate. Some guys like skinny legs, other guys like em chunky. We all know the only thing on bike forms that matters is toronto fixed.... and that is pushing it I <3 jet.

i'm surprised that thread wasn't shut down when the new moderator came in

word is bond!

Can I just say how awesome it is to have so many people trying to squeeze as much riding as possible into every minute of the spring/summer so far. I LOVE that we have scheduling conflicts and way too many options.

Heh, I noticed that too, I wasn't sure if I should go in and flame away or just let it go. I don't really care too much but I have posted my own GT about 5 times in the Jackass thread, just for fun

edit: Fack it, I am going in with a flaming sword, that thread jumped the shark about 8 months ago anyways. Wish me luck!

pushing it? I think you mean fix-pushing it.

hells jyeah!

where is this beautiful countryside?

My countryside or Phil's? The photo I posted is in Portland, OR, and was taken by Ira Ryan.

Keith, Shamil, check your pm.

man, the bikes on that guy's photostream could be a wet dream of mine.

My countryside is mainly meaning the county of Cheshire, UK - but there are lots of country lanes (narrower single-track/1.5 track paved roads) that are all hedgerow'd/treelined. Cheshire has a lot of dairy farming, so lots of fields full of cows - I grew up in the middle of fields, etc.

*goes to find old England pictures*

mmmmm.... legs..... Queen Pita chicken shwarma..... legs......

And it's funny jet's bike is getting dissed. He's had it in other threads where people thought the Gumby leg forks were great.

OK I found some... Here's a fairly normal major road (an A road) near Stafford, where I lived before I moved over here:



A crossroads on some more main/major country/back roads in Staffordshire:



Narrowish road going into a narrower section:



And roadworks, aieeee! (Notice the lovely blind bend that the pub on the corner creates )

Phil's. i noticed that the ira ryan stuff is portland based. whenever i see photos portland and read of it's overflowing bike culture i always get that "land of chocolate" (from the simpsons) song in my head and start dreaming of the land of bikes.

beautiful. throw in a little dirt track and you have yourself a nice rivendellish / cyclocross ride.
