Ok! So mid morning - meet in MV? We'll do a nice RR grade loop - maybe we can get to the top - not a difficult ride all things considered. I will be moderately hung over from my b-day party the night before. It'll be great.![]()

Welcome to the dirrrty side! DH has the Stumpy Comp and loves it, man you are lucky he test rode the expert (rental) but the budget in July was Comp. Can't wait to hear about your rides and bruises (LOL!). I went yesterday, came back with a bruised hip, I don't remember hitting anything?
BTW- You need bells. Seriously my bike doesn't have one and I am getting tired of scaring the bejeezus out of hikers. DH is getting one in his stocking, his racing buddies use them so it is okay to him now. And if you don't have one in those hydration packs, a first aid kit. We have needed to use ours on DH's bloodied finger (he slammed a tree in a tight turn).

Thanks Ama!
We'll definitely stock up on the first aid stuff.
Wish I could find a doughboy bell that would emit the doop-de-doop-de-doooooo that Poppin' Fresh does in the Pillsbury commercials. But that would probably scare the hikers even more. Or get me committed.

That would be a great bell! DH wants something sleek like the little silver flat ones. I want something with personality, I saw a dragon one I liked. There are no style points when I am on the trail so my bike can be as goofy as I want.![]()

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Another note- most drug stores have small first aid kits. DH and I both carry the Camelbak Mule with tons of storage so our first aid kit that one of us always has is a bit big in height but it is slim. We don't even notice the bulk.

Ooooh!!!! Give me some heads up and I may join you. I started my cycling career on dirt. I'm not any good any more, but I'll give it the ole college try! :P I'll have to nab DD15's bike (as my poor old MTB needs major work), but if she needs a bike she can take my road bike.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
Good work bob's! Nice to see you're having fun on the dirt![]()
I think your right side might be a bit jealous of your left, how about falling on the right next time![]()
MP-thank you for taking the bob's trail hunting!
No, no, no. Right side bad. Right side more expensive than left side. You pay for body parts AND you pay for new rear derailleur.
Left side good side.
Says the person who always falls on her right except when MP stops in the middle of a rock garden so we all slow down and then I misjudge how fast Bubba is speeding up. Not a good idea to nearly ram someone in the middle of a rock garden.
