Rear wheel dusty spinouts when climbing

[ridebikeme]

Good luck with your new rear tire Catrin! AS for your midwest, gals, I'd love to meet up and ride in Brown County again... one of my favorite areas in Indiana!

Back to tires, I generally ride Kenda Small Block 8's until the leaves drop, or it has been raining for quite some time then I'll swith over to the Nevegals. Lots of rocks, roots, here....

I think I'll post a feeler early next year about a meetup in Brown County sometime over the summer. Fall is lovely in the park, but I imagine dime would have an easier time attending when school is out.

I can't answer that question, but in an abundance of caution, why not just test it out on an easy trail regardless of what anybody tells you to expect?

True - and I would anyway - I just tend to over-think stuff

I've read good things about the Nevegals. The trails I ride do have rocks and roots but really are a mixture of hardpack (dust right now), with rooty/rocky sections. I am really looking forward to seeing what difference the new rear tire makes. I MIGHT go ahead and have them replace the front after examining my budget a bit further.

Indy - that sounds like a good idea about a summer (perhaps early?) TE BCSP gathering. It would probably make it a bit easier for those further away to travel.

I was thinking probably sometime between late June to early August. Trail conditions aren't quite as reliable in early June. It seems that they start to really dry out by about the time of the clinic in mid-June. But I suppose it will really depend on what date works for the majority of people. I also would prefer to focus the gathering on mountain biking. Certainly, people who only do road riding would be welcome but I, personally, don't want to take responsibility for any road routes in and around Brown County. Too. much. work.

Might I suggest that you make it a co-ed weekend? More TE'ers may come from far away if they can travel with their SO. The men could do their own group rides or we could split up into co-ed groups of varying skill levels.

Co-ed sounds like a good idea - and it might be nice to have it the week before or after the Women's Clinic - but of course we've plenty of time to work all of that out.

Absolutely. My own husband would be sad if I spent a weekend out there without him.

Definitely keep me in the lop Ladies: I'm definitely interested. I would tend to think each of us would schedule conflicts, so would simply suggest that you pick a time and go with it... those that want to come and ride will be there.
