Weekend MTB Rides

[Giulianna23]

I will try, but I may not know that early. We will see as things develop.

OK...I will just leave my Sunday eve and Monday morning open just in case. I really want to go to BCSP and check out them trails.

It looks like the leftovers from the "little" storm in the Gulf will start hitting here early Saturday afternoon - and depending on the amount of rain we get the trails could well be closed due to being too wet or fallen trees. I am just going to head down Friday after work (I get off at 10:30 am on Fridays), and ride then. I will let you know the next time I head south on a weekend. The Hoosier Mountain Bike Association is suggesting folks get their ride in before Saturday, and I am listening

No problem Catrin...

I just got back a couple of hours ago from the Avon trails.
I went with a group from HMBA forum and I had a blast!...I had a heck of a workout...We did around 8 miles on the beginners trail and at some point we hit around 10mph.

They said I was sandbagging them when I told them in the forum that I just started mountain biking a few weeks ago.....not sure exactly what that means though

They have this group that get together every tuesday

Glad you had a good time! They meant that they didn't believe you are a beginner, it wasn't an insult

Yeah I had a great time...... I will meet with them every tuesday if possible. There was another gal in the group and they say they have other females that are not able to make it every Tuesday.

I was the only Newbie yesterday and at the end of the ride they where calling me "Sandbagger Speedy Newbie".. LOL...I was surprised that I was able to keep up with all them big guys. They did ask me if I road bike because they were surprised with my endurance. I did tell them I commute to work every day though.

That's really great! I'm glad you're having so much fun. How's your bike working out for you?

On a related note, I'm seriously bummed that this weekend might be rained out. After how many weeks of drought, and we get the remnants of a tropical storm over a 3-day holiday weekend? That is just not right.

But I don't want to feel too sorry for myself. I realize this storm is affecting people in much more serious ways. Everybody be safe!

I really like the bike...and I already know she is going to get a heck of a beat up with the way I ride.... lol.... Thanks for asking

And about the weather?... I know what you mean...But I still have hopes its not going to be that bad
